Aptilo Networks said it has added Internet of Things (IoT) support to the Aptilo Service Management Platform(SMP).
It is still common for IoT applications to be built as vertical silos with the purpose of supporting only one specific application for one kind of thing or device.
The new Aptilo SMP IoT, offers reusable horizontal functionality for vertical applications which shortens the time-to-market and lowers the deployment cost. It enables connections and information exchange between heterogeneous IoT things/devices and connectivity networks to various IoT applications.
The Aptilo SMP IoT is built around a flexible API adapter concept and a powerful rules engine with configurable logic. Other building blocks include authentication, policy control, provisioning, data collection, visualization and analytics.
The platform also supports different monetization models including the new modern business models where a user subscribes to a product and pays based on the usage rather than buying the product.
