Aeris provides multi-carrier, multi-technology IoT solutions. That means regardless of your chosen carrier, and regardless of the underlying technology, Aeris solutions can connect and provide numerous advantages.

In the first steps on the road to digital transformation of the enterprise, a billion cellular IoT devices have already been connected worldwide. Yet this transformation is just getting going – billions more will follow and growth rates will remain high. This rapid growth of connected devices is not all plain sailing – it brings with it new challenges and new risks, particularly those associated with online security. In the midst of this, Aeris is bringing to market new solutions designed to assist IoT device manufacturers and solution providers address these security issues. These are outlined later in this report.

The Internet of Things is hitting its stride. It is a critical enabler of digital transformation efforts happening around the globe. For consumers, businesses, and governments, IoT is playing an increasing role in how we consume information to make decisions and how we interact with the world around us. More than that, IoT also is changing how we personally experience our world―our daily interactions with our connected car, smart homes, and connected wearables make us digitally linked to the physical world in a way that would seem like magic to people living just 100 years ago.

Many businesses are interested in the Internet of Things (IoT) thanks to the possible benefits of implementing IoT-ready devices, including the ability to streamline workflows and cut expenses. Yet few consider how these things will connect to a network to transmit data and receive information from outside sources in order to make accurate predictions.

Your organization has decided to empower its growth through an Internet of Things (IoT) solution. How can you be successful in launching your first IoT deployment and then monetize it to scale?

You need a reliable, experienced partner with global connectivity, real-time visibility into your assets to improve maintenance and scheduling, as well as the ability to provide in-depth support — all from one comprehensive platform.

Your business needs require the ability to grow and develop in various locations. Therefore, your IoT platform has to insure the largest possible geo-coverage of countries and continents, along with the ability to develop services and enhance products seamlessly. The platform has to provide a superior combination of coverage and operational time, while offering a heightened level of security.

The Aeris hybrid solution seamlessly delivers the cost savings of Wi-Fi with the coverage and reliability benefits of cellular — in a single subscription. With a single platform for Wi-Fi / cellular provisioning, billing, reporting, diagnostics, and troubleshooting, the Aeris hybrid solution prevents carrier or technology lock-in, affording far more choices for your specific business needs.

It has been said that the choice for connectivity comes down to coverage and cost. It used to be that if you picked coverage, the cost was high. If you picked a more pocketbook-friendly alternative, your coverage suffered. No more.

Today, connectivity providers are able to present a hybrid amalgamation of cellular and Wi-Fi features, created to exploit the complementary powers of each technology.

Aeris AerPort is a comprehensive IoT Management platform. It offers provisioning of devices, billing, location and tracing capabilities, and access to customer support. Using the AerPort platform, companies can gain timely insights, proactively identify usage and billing issues, and take positive actions based on real-time data, thereby reducing the total cost of ownership.
