Deutsche Telekom unveils plans to launch world’s first open platform for Internet of Things (IoT) - a new IoT hub that brings all players together, including developers, operators, partners and suppliers.
The Operator plans to launch the new IoT hub in the second half of 2020 and it will invite partners and customers to test the new IoT environment. This hub will be the new industry meeting place for the Internet of Things. The most important goal is to make access and operation of an increasingly heterogeneous IoT ecosystem as simple and manageable as possible.
The new industry environment brings together the complete range of the most important elements that are essential for IoT solutions: connectivity, devices, cloud services and solutions for data analysis. Deutsche Telekom is not only relying on its own IoT offerings. The marketplace with its diverse partner portfolio offers customers the greatest possible flexibility. This considerably simplifies the setup and operation of individual IoT solutions. It also drastically reduces the development time from individual customer solutions to market readiness.
