Cellular 4G/5G IoT Solution Services
As there is no unique IoT technology capable of covering all vertical use cases, it is necessary for service providers to supply radio agnostic solutions and network infrastructures
Various IoT technologies have different device and connectivity requirements. Service providers have no unique interface to provision, bill and manage device configuration and connectivity plans.
As IoT technologies are fragmented, data exposure is challenging, making integration with business application complex and costly.
3GPP core network licenses with traditional HSS/PGW/PCRF/PCEF and their integration with OSS/BSS modules are tailored for human-centric traffic and not adapted for small packet IoT use cases where per-device ARPU is 5-10x less compared to traditional M2M
- ThingPark Wireless provides a unified interface to IoT subscribers which have both LoRaWAN and 3GPP (NB-IoT / LTE-M) based deployments
- Dedicated PGW, PCRF, PCEF and HSS designed specifically for IoT use cases
- Management of both message mode for small packets (NIDD) and UDP or direct IO for cellular IoT
- Power saving features for small messages over UDP connection when connecting to cloud platform
- Scalable infrastructure
- High Availability through server and database redundancy
- Disaster recovery mechanisms
- Can work both on physical servers or on virtual machines
- End-to-end security with Hardware Security Module (HSM) for both 3GPP and LoRaWAN key management
- Unified data records, traffic enforcement, traffic management seamlessly between LoRaWAN and Cellular devices to give a consistent experience for device and connectivity management to IoT subscribers.
- Billing system optimized for different traffic types (volume based / subscriber based...) and different message modes
- Flexible traffic policy enforcement and rating to fit all use cases and to maintain SLAs for human-centric, mission critical and premium IoT applications
- APIs for third-party OSS and BSS integration
- Integrates seamlessly with ThingPark X, allowing a unified data management framework with connectivity towards apps and cloud platforms (for ex. Microsoft Azure, IBM Bluemix and Amazon AWS).
- Unique device provisioning and connectivity management interface through an easy-to-use Graphical User Interface (GUI)
- Seamless integration with ThingPark Marketplace and Click&Go for E2E solutions deployment and bootstrapping IoT ecosystem
- Seamless integration with ThingPark developer portal for E2E testing of IoT devices
- Seamless integration with ThingPark Activation to manage device lifecycle for IoT devices
- Subscription and fleet management for grouped devices
- Routing profiles for different message modes for easy application data routing
- Joint packet logging to visualise all packets through the network
