Aricent, a leading engineering service and software company for the telecom sector, has launched a dedicated IoT Engineering Services portfolio, taking advantage of the company's IoT Gateway middleware to help clients improve the speed, quality and cost of IoT product development. Aricent's target product initiatives include connected cars, connected homes, wearable devices, embedded systems, industrial automation, smart energy and smart cities. 

According to Aricent, its IoT Engineering Services encompass the entire concept-to-cash product lifecycle, including: product and service strategy, hardware and silicon design, software and mobile development, cloud infrastructure, device and application management, systems integration, end-to-end testing and product support. The middleware provides connectivity across IoT devices and machines, multiple network technologies and cloud infrastructure. The IoT Gateway's components can be fully customized and re-used as part of a client's solution, including horizontal and vertical IoT applications and services.

As one of many use cases, Aricent has developed the "Smart Community Management" solution built with Texas Instruments -- based on the Aricent IoT Gateway running on TI Sitara ARM Cortex A8 processor. The solution illustrates how a common IoT infrastructure can be used by utilities, governments, real estate managers and residents to better manage community and home resources. 

Rakesh Vij, VP of Innovation, Aricent 
IoT is a phenomenon that will impact product and service firms across all sectors of the economy. The clean divide between physical and digital worlds is crumbling, thanks to a powerful blend of software, sensors and connectivity. We have been privileged to work with early pioneers in this space, and we're excited to expand our IoT commitment with dedicated engineering teams, advanced R&D investment and new partnerships.

Arnon Friedmann, Marketing Director, Texas Instruments
We're thrilled to see Aricent enable innovative industrial IoT solutions on the TI Sitara platform. Short time to market is critical for success, and the combination of TI's silicon platforms with Aricent's engineering services can dramatically shorten development cycles. We look forward to helping customers bring their industrial IoT ambitions to fruition on the TI Sitara platform.
