Berlin, March 29, 2021: Well known Cloud communication platform provider for the Internet of Things (IoT), EMnify, today announced the launch of its Cloud Connect service in 20 Amazon Web Services (AWS) Regions around the world.
It said in a press release that as an AWS Partner in the AWS Partner Network with AWS IoT Competency, EMnify integrates Edge devices into the Cloud, so enterprises can operate and secure any number of devices.
Using AWS Transit Gateway, EMnify Cloud Connect establishes an intra-cloud connection between IoT devices and application and services running on AWS, allowing two-way device communication to take place without being exposed to the public Internet.
With this launch, EMnify simplifies secure private networking of cellular-connected devices for AWS users worldwide, addressing two common challenges faced in IoT today:
- Security: Transmitting data using the public Internet exposes devices to serious threats, especially when end-to-end encryption is missing.
- Remote access: Due to carrier-grade network address translation (CGNAT), devices are not reachable from the application, making remote access and on-demand data transfer to the device challenging.
EMnify said the Cloud Connect setup only takes a few minutes using the AWS Management Console and extends the AWS virtual private cloud (VPC) transparently with a virtual private mobile network spanning over radio networks globally. Using only private IP addresses, device data is then encrypted and transmitted from the mobile network over the AWS Global Backbone to the respective enterprise Amazon Virtual Private Cloud (Amazon VPC) region.
