Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) announced the HPE Universal Internet of Things (IoT) Platform at the IoT World 2016.
The company also said Bouygues Telecom will partner with HPE Universal IoT Platform and the LoRa network to offer IoT services.
The endpoints of IoT will grow at a 31.7 percent CAGR from 2013 through 2020, reaching an installed base of 20.8 billion units.
With expansion in IoT markets and networks there is a growing need for better connectivity between devices.
Huge capacity and flexibility are other key requirements for IoT operators. The new platform claims to provide added functions and benefits to its users, and the company believes that it will play a role in building the infrastructure required for the growth of IoT.
“The value of the IoT lies in enriching data collected from devices with analytics and exposing it to applications that enable organizations to derive business value,” said Som Satsangi, vice president, Sales, Enterprise Group, Hewlett Packard Enterprise India.
The HPE Platform is based on oneM2M industry standard claims to provide IoT operators with the facility of simultaneously managing a heterogeneous sets of sensors, operate vertical applications on machine-to-machine (M2M) devices, as well as process, analyze and monetize collected data in a single secure cloud platform.
It will also support long range, low power connectivity, ensuring that LoRa and SIGFOX deployments can be supported alongside other connectivity protocols, including cellular, radio, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
Added features
Multi connectivity
