At the recent IoT World 2016, Hewlett Packard Enterprise(HPE) unveiled the HPE universal Internet-of-Things (IoT) Platform designed to support multiple long range, low power connectivity networks such as LoRa, SIGFOX, cellular, radio, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
The HPE Universal IoT Platform is aligned to the oneM2M industry standard and is designed to be industry and vendor-agnostic, enabling IoT operators to simultaneously manage heterogeneous sets of sensors, operate vertical applications on machine-to-machine (M2M) devices as well as process, analyze and monetize collected data in a single secure cloud platform. In addition, it features support for device management across disparate IoT gateways, devices and underlying networks, data analytics and enhance data security.
Objenious, a subsidiary of Bouygues Telecom, a French provider of mobile, fixed, TV, internet and cloud services, is using the HPE Universal IoT Platform and the LoRa network to deliver IoT services that address a number IoT use cases ranging from vehicle fleet management, remote meter reading, predictive maintenance and geolocation, said HPE.
