To meet the increasing demand for enterprise IoT connectivity and simplified acquisition, Ericsson today announced it will now enable the sale of managed connectivity for its CSP partners, available in Amazon Web Services (AWS) Marketplace.
According to a new Ericsson Mobility Report, by 2025, there will be over 5 billion cellular Internet of Things (IoT) connections.
AWS Marketplace is a digital catalogue with thousands of software listings from independent software vendors that make it easy to find, test, buy, and deploy software that runs on AWS. The one-stop-shop will enable enterprises to meet their IoT needs leveraging Telenor Connexion as the pioneer global connectivity provider for this new service, said Ericsson in a press release.
By bringing global CSPs into the associated marketplaces, Ericsson is enabling a significant simplification of IoT connectivity. First out will be Telenor Connexion offering their well-established global connectivity solution for cellular IoT in AWS Marketplace, it said.
Enterprise developers can now build IoT solutions in the cloud using cellular IoT connectivity without leaving the ecosystem. Meanwhile, CSPs offering managed IoT connectivity using Ericsson IoT Accelerator platform can reach new customers more easily via a popular digital marketplace.
