Inmarsat recently launched ELERA IoT, a platform of IoT connectivity services, solutions and ecosystems.
ELERA IoT is built on the connectivity backbone of Inmarsat ELERA, the world’s most reliable network for the Internet of Things (IoT) and secure narrowband connectivity. ELERA IoT provides businesses, IoT solutions developers, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), IoT-as-a-service providers and Inmarsat distribution partners with the satellite connectivity tools to meet all of their IoT needs.
ELERA IoT’s range of reliable, global, fully mobile and easy-to-use connectivity services are suitable for all industries and locations, helping businesses to fuel their IoT progress and innovations, claimed the company. Businesses can track assets with small form factor IsatData Pro (IDP), monitor and control with BGAN M2M, or create their own IoT ecosystems or commercial offerings, using Inmarsat’s powerful new leasing services. In addition to these currently available services, Inmarsat is also developing new IoT connectivity services and collaborating with ORBCOMM on OGx, their next generation IoT services, offering the best-in-class combination of high bandwidth data packets with low-cost terminals, which are expected to launch in 2022.
Demonstrating the power of Inmarsat’s leasing capabilities, ELERA IoT is also providing the connectivity fabric for innovative, IoT eco-system providers including ORBCOMM, Hiber, and Skylo. In addition, the Inmarsat Application and Solution Provider (ASP) programme is the marketplace for IoT solutions that work anywhere. Fully integrated with the ELERA network and developed by industry innovators, the ASP providers deliver disruptive solutions to the agriculture, electrical utilities, mining, oil and gas, and transport and logistics sectors.
