Telit: Unmasking Robust Edge-to-Application Solutions

Considering the ease of wirelessly connecting to the Internet, the increasing speed and data gathering capabilities of today’s computing devices, it is no surprise that machine-to-machine (M2M) conversations will soon exceed human interactions. The silent communication between millions of machines exchanging data every day with no human intervention is testament to the success of the M2M industry. “Yet, there are certain obstacles to overcome the limitations of propriety technology and its relative standards. Bridging the gap between vertical, stove pipe solutions and the horizontal architecture of enterprise environments can be considered as some of the dilemmatic factors,” begins Oozi Cats, Telit CEO. Telit offers best in class cellular, GNSS, short-to-long range wireless such as ZigBee and Sigfox modules plus the mobile connectivity services and application enablement platform to onboard edge devices to the IoT. As an enabler of solutions for M2M and the Internet of Things (IoT), Telit aims to meet the needs of a wide range of regular and location-based applications.

With regional offices in Raleigh, NC, Trieste, Italy, Sao Paulo, Brazil and Seoul, Korea, plus a number of sales and support locations, the company employs different cellular and GNSS chipsets to ensure best-of-breed module-level components, tailored to meet customer requirements. “The chipsets are integrated in different module families that have similar form factor and interfaces. This allows solution future-proofing, enabling modules to be exchanged in customer devices updating them to accommodate changes in compliance requirements and/or other improvements; without requiring any modifications to their application software or hardware,” points out Cats. The market has recently been altering towards the delivery of seamless, ‘edge-to-application’ IoT solutions. So the ability to extend connectivity to the cloud, and to our popular deviceWISE application enablement platform which has been at the center of one of the industry’s best thriving communities, has been a key development. “We own the module’s software stack. That has enabled many innovative developments, like the modules that are ‘cloud-ready’,” says Cats.Embedding the deviceWISE API lets developers connect devices to the cloud very easily. It also enhances performance via the addition of advanced network functionality and ensures the safety of the data before it is transmitted.
