IoT solutions provider, Sierra Wireless, announced in a company press release that is has won the IoT Innovation of the Year Award for its solution labeled Octave at the fourth annual Mobile Breakthrough Awards program.
The Awards are hosted by the independent market intelligence business Mobile Breakthrough and aim recognise the ‘top’ companies, technologies, and products in the global wireless and mobile market today by judging entries with an independent panel of experts within the wireless industry.
Olivier Pauzet, Vice President of Product & IoT Solutions at Sierra Wireless commented on what Octave can do and what the company looks forward to by saying: “Octave eliminates the complexities of implementing and scaling IoT solutions, allowing industrial companies to cost-effectively access the benefits of IoT without the risks. With Octave, customers can focus on building their business rather than reinventing technical infrastructure, dramatically reducing costs and development time for OEMs, system integrators and enterprises. We are proud to receive this 2020 Mobile Breakthrough Award and look forward to continued success in helping organizations reduce their time to revenue, as well as development, management, and maintenance costs.”
IoT is becoming increasingly talked about topic as businesses, industries, individuals, homes, and cities make the shift to smart technology that can do more while reducing time needed or cost involved.
As a result, there’s an increasing amount of businesses that are using or introducing IoT to enable its customers to do more with examples being Toshiba launching its IoT solution for water treatment sites, ICON.AI releasing its smart mirror, and Advantech introducing an AI-based infection prevention solution that works with smart devices.
The Canada-based IoT solutions provider has a number of products and services and claims to have shipped over 168m devices to connect the IoT for various industries that include industrial manufacturing, energy and natural resources, transport and logistics, public safety, smart cities, healthcare, and retail.
The company writes how its all-in-one edge-to-cloud product, Octave, is designed to enable businesses to accelerate their data-driven digital transformation and deliver a new way for OEMs and industrial companies using Industrial IoT (IIoT) to access machine data in the cloud.
Customers of the product can expect to eliminate what can be complex integration between hardware, firmware, and cloud software thanks to its simple cloud APIs that can securely extract, orchestrate, and act on data from remote assets.
The IoT solutions provider explains how this can enable customers to get IoT applications up and running within days, instead of what can be months.
This allows for the possibility of faster developed IoT applications along with quicker collection and analysis of the IoT applications data that can deliver actionable insights for the customer.
The IoT solutions provider commented on how thanks to Octave doing the above, this brings the opportunity for customers to maximise performance and uptime, reduce maintenance costs, and offer transformational equipment and consumption as a service.
Speaking on the companies win of the Award, James Johnson, managing director at Mobile Breakthrough said: “While the promise of IoT is impressive, the reality is that it is difficult, complex and time consuming to integrate wireless edge technology. Sierra Wireless’ Octave addresses these challenges head-on, creating a new category of IoT solutions, with cloud-based features that provide all the components of distributed IoT connectivity in a single, integrated solution. We are thrilled to recognize Sierra Wireless for their breakthrough Octave solution and congratulate the entire Sierra Wireless team for their well-deserved ‘IoT Innovation of the Year’ award.”
