Barcelona, Feb. 27, 2019: ADTRAN, Inc., a provider of next-generation open networking and subscriber experience solutions, today announced its collaboration with IoT.nxt—a leading Internet of Things (IoT) technology company—to help carriers and Enterprises around the world design new services and solutions by bringing together various streams of IoT device data into a single, easy-to-use platform.
“This exciting collaboration allows us to create Cloud-based innovations that will bring a host of new revenue opportunities and operational savings to our customers around the world,” ADTRAN Sr. Vice President of Sales John Neville said in a written statement. “ADTRAN and IoT.nxt are joining forces to create the energy and synergy needed to capture and commercialize the growing volume of IoT data generated in any number of vertical markets across diverse systems and processes. We can’t wait to see where this takes our customers here in Europe and throughout the world.”
The IoT industry operates on multiple protocols that control many different types of devices. IoT.nxt aggregates those protocols into a single Cloud-based system that turns the data into usable information for decision-makers looking to optimise revenue opportunities and minimise operating expense. ADTRAN’s broad portfolio of software and hardware platforms support a variety of technologies deployed today and provide speed and flexibility for new deployments needed to take advantage of these new IoT.nxt applications.
Based on OpenWrt, the ADTRAN SmartOS Operating System is fully chipset-agnostic, enabling quick and seamless support for any technology or vendor hardware implementation, while also supporting third-party software applications to enhance solution integrations. SmartOS operates on top of five different, leading hardware vendor chipsets and numerous network technologies. With its open data plane and application framework, SmartOS unlocks the potential for streamlined application development and integration of exciting new services.
ADTRAN will now be able to provide Enterprise and carrier customers with smart, streamlined management of IoT data that will help drive better, more informed business decisions. Carriers will also be able to better manage their physical and virtualised networks, as well as offer enhanced home and business services on one platform that manages all devices for a subscriber.
