Ericsson recently introduced three new solutions to equip communications service providers and utility companies so that they can meet the requirements and services in the Internet market Things (IoT) booming. These new solutions enhance the unique position of Ericsson’s end-to-end offerings.
The IoT is to assert itself quickly as a very important transformation agent, since it brings together the physical and digital worlds. According to the latest Ericsson Mobility Report, it is expected that there are 28 billion connected devices by 2021, over half of which through M2M and IoT connections.
Several studies have identified the potential and value of the IoT to society. They are smart cities and connected homes – which include consumer equipment – representing much of that value. Ericsson launches three solutions for the IoT in order to boost innovation in the industry to connected homes and smart cities:
- Smart Metering as a Service
- User & amp; IoT Data Analytics
- Networks Software 17A Diversifying Cellular for Massive IoT
Solution 1: Smart Metering as a Service
ICT is increasingly critical for utility companies, at a time when these seek to improve operational efficiency and find ways to innovate and improve the consumer experience. The Smart Metering as a Service (Smart Metering as a Service) allows the outsourcing of business processes end-to-end based on the experience of Ericsson, which accounts for more than 42 million smart meters worldwide. The benefits of Smart Metering as a Service are the reduced time-to-market, superior management skills and with smart metering operations and saving significant costs. In short, utilities companies benefit from a total cost smaller ownership and less complex since the Ericsson assumes the role of single point of contact with the IT service providers, telecommunications operators and business services . field, as well as an improvement in service quality
For consumers, smart metering and a connected smart grid allows more reliable services, billing more accurate and the ability to control spending – through the provision timely data for the consumption. In addition, also supports advanced security services by lighting automation, heating and cooling. – Identified by the latest Ericsson ConsumerLab report as areas of high interest to consumers
The Smart Metering as a Service will be . commercially available in the second quarter 2016
Solution 2: User & amp; IoT Data Analytics
The exponential growth in the number of connected devices, both consumers of different industries, gives telecom operators the opportunity to maximize the value of user information and the IoT in the databases of their networks
User & amp solution.; IoT Data Analytics (User Data Analytics and the Internet of Things), Ericsson enables this capability to operators to provide either an analytical engine in real built-in time at the subscriber database.
This solution expands solution User Data Consolidation (UDC) of the company, and works on databases of cellular and non-cellular equipment. You can also collect data network databases of other manufacturers and aggregate this information in the analysis. External source of data can be included and, through the use of safe exposure, are also possible perspectives and applications of cross IoT to various industries.
As a result, operators can improve internal operational efficiency and expand the business among consumers and industries. At the same time, they have the ability to expand their roles in the IoT ecosystem to no longer simple connectivity providers and manage to reach a new level in the value chain
User & amp solution.; IoT Data Analytics Ericsson will be commercially available at the end of second quarter 2016
Solution 3:. Networks Software 17A diversifies mobile technology for massive deployment of IoT
In September 2015 , Ericsson announced a suite of software upgrades to accelerate the adoption of IoT, eliminating the bottlenecks that prevented access to the global market. To meet the new challenges posed by the support of vast numbers of IoT devices with a comprehensive set of use cases and requirements, Ericsson presents Networks Software 17A for Massive IoT, which supports millions of IoT devices connections per cell. These exclusively software updates implement the latest category of equipment for LTE connections, NarrowbandIoT (NB-IoT), the existing network infrastructure for secure mobile connectivity easy to implement and reliable, with a low total cost of ownership.
NB-IoT IoT is suitable for applications such as measuring or monitoring by sensors and has a flexible scaling capacity to handle millions of links in each cell. Furthermore, the modules reduces costs by 90 percent and offers better coverage up to seven times higher. Combined with the improvements as regards energy savings, assures a residence time of more than 10 years battery life while keeping the downlink access.
These improvements complement the functions provided in earlier versions to respond to a wide diversity of IoT requirements while making the best use of the global reach of existing networks. Updates for LTE and GSM networks provide an ideal platform for the growth of IoT.
Ericsson Networks 17A Software for Massive IoT will be commercially available in the last quarter of 2016. Thus, Ericsson will provide the first Solution of low-power industry, wide-area (LPWA) later this year.
