Vienna, June 16, 2014: Well-known Machine-to-Machine (M2M) solutions provider Wyconn has announced that it had joined the Industrial Internet Consortium, the organisation founded earlier this year by AT&T, Cisco, GE, IBM and Intel to support the adoption of the Industrial Internet.
Set up in March 2014, the Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) is an open membership, not-for-profit organisation that catalyzes and coordinates the priorities and enabling technologies of industry, academia and the government around the Industrial Internet.
Wyconn’s products for OEMs, enterprises, and telecom companies combine the functions of a router, access point, firewall, and gateway and include embedded global SIMs, all managed through a web-based management console.
By 2020 the Industrial Internet is projected to connect 50 billion things, with some estimates as high as 200 billion things.
“Through work with some of Europe’s largest companies over the last ten years, we’ve seen firsthand the importance, cost, and complexity of large-scale deployments,” said Adi Reschenhofer, Chief Executive Officer of Wyconn. “This is what led us to launch Wyconn last year and, with the introduction of our product line this spring, join the Industrial Internet Consortium.”
Wyconn devices also run applications that can be deployed, managed, and updated centrally. These include the Wyconn Router Companion, pairing a Wyconn device with a remote router or switch for out-of-band management, and the Wyconn Branch Connector for enterprises, retail chains, and distributed services companies.
