IoT

Gartner indicates that between 2019 and 2024, the enterprise IoT Platforms Market will grow by 31%

The IoT presents a significant opportunity: Gartner indicates that between 2019 and 2024, the enterprise IoT Platforms Market will grow by 31%,  and Connectivity Management Platforms will demonstrate a CAGR of 21.6%.

However,  organisations need help navigating the complexity of deploying devices at scale, from designing devices to connecting, securing, and monitoring those deployments throughout the device life cycle.    

Scaled device connectivity

Pelion is uniquely positioned to help enterprises realise scaled device connectivity with an agnostic approach that enables IoT for any device regardless of OS, network, and application.

This is combined with close industry partnerships that span the full IoT value chain from silicon vendors and device makers to system integrators, independent software vendors (ISVs), mobile network operators, and platform vendors. 

Connected Device Platform

Pelion’s Connected Device Platform brings together the connectivity and management capabilities needed for scalable deployments, delivering unified operations management for the full device journey. 

It is designed to facilitate scalable, secure deployments quickly and without complication, supporting both managed and unmanaged connectivity, and deployable across the diverse system and device architectures.   

Pelion  provides:  

• Connected  Device Platform that fast-tracks  connectivity requirements at project conception, reduces  total cost of ownership, and  scales to meet future requirements.  
• Enhanced  processing at the edge with application management for third-party and legacy applications.   

• Versatile connectivity options  to suit a range of use cases; from  5G  to 2G, including CAT-M and NB-IoT networks, as well as non-cellular connectivity standards, including Wi-SUN.  
• Services and expertise  that already enable over 500 organisations. 
• Flexibility  to address small, consumer price point form factors with low power connectivity needs, through to industrial-grade equipment that demands increased security and data bandwidth.   

The business  will continue to evolve in line with customer needs for at-scale and secure IoT deployments, building on its  success with partners and customers spanning diverse applications from utilities to industrial and logistics, including Hexing, Savortex, Nixu Cybersecurity, and Tangerine.
