Cisco announced advancements to its internet of things (IoT) portfolio to help its service provider customers offer a simpler way to manage LPWAN/4G/5G IoT connectivity for new and emerging use cases.
Cisco IoT Control Center, introduced at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2022 in Barcelona, addresses industry needs for Mass IoT with a new simplified and secure connectivity management package purpose-built for lower complexity IoT devices.
Cisco IoT Control Center manages nearly 200 million devices today, across all licensed cellular networks (LPWAN/4G/5G), giving operators and enterprises the flexibility to choose the network that works best for their use case.
Cisco is offering IoT Control Center offer as a subscription service to service providers in order to address the enterprise use cases – from low-to-high complexity from a single platform. The new offer reduces connectivity management complexity and costs without compromising quality, making it practical and profitable for service providers to drive new revenue streams and capitalize on new Mass IoT market opportunities.
“Cisco enables KPN IoT to profitably capitalize on LPWAN market opportunities via the IoT Control Center,” says Carolien Nijhuis, EVP, Internet of Things and Dataservices at KPN. “Offering enterprise customers a single platform to address the full range of IoT use cases is a great advantage and reduces complexity in our customer’s deployments.”
The Mass IoT capabilities available on the IoT Control Center platform will enable the emerging low-cost, low-complexity IoT segments, with a solution that better meets customers’ needs, says Marc Overton, Managing Director Division X, for BT’s Enterprise business.
“With enhancements to Cisco IoT Control Center, our customers can expand into the LPWAN market using a proven platform to help a broad range of growing industries realize what the future of mobile IoT can do to transform their business,” Masum Mir, Vice President and General Manager, Cable, Mobile and IoT, Cisco, said in a news statement.
