By 2022, approximately 4 billion M2M connections (Cisco VNI 2019) will be driven by enterprise IoT services like smart cities, smart utilities (i.e. water and power), healthcare, manufacturing, and smart agriculture. Service providers globally are already investing in enterprise IoT services to bundle connectivity with device and network intelligence that drive value for enterprise customers and provide access to new revenue streams.
As IoT services scale, service providers need to consider a different approach to managing the lifecycle of millions of IoT devices, gateways, and sensors across their network. Enterprise device management platforms require at minimum MQTT and LwM2M multi-protocol support along with traditional device lifecycle functions – including automated firmware updates, device discovery, and diagnostics checks – to avoid costly manual intervention and truck rolls to enterprise CPEs, as well as IoT gateways, devices, and sensors. What's more, operators need new tools to capitalize on network and device data to power new vertical business applications.

With traffic congestion at an all-time high, along with vehicle emissions and air quality concerns, the need for smart parking continues to grow. Parking sensors and devices span street meters, surface-lot meters, vertical bays, garage facilities, and digital signage indicating parking spots remaining. Device downtime not only leads to driver frustration but also revenue loss and increased truck rolls to resolve equipment issues. Additional smart parking trends include real-time parking location availability and processing mobile app payments.
With the Incognito IoT solution, service providers can:
Video surveillance is not only used for public safety and security measures but provides tremendous value for traffic planning and infrastructure investments. The elevated nature of the equipment poses challenges in manual software access and device onboarding.
With the Incognito IoT solution, service providers can:
Asset tracking has evolved from rudimentary geolocation to now include environmental condition monitoring through the collection of data points such as altitude, temperature, pressure, vibration, acceleration, humidity, and shock. The need for a reliable tracking device to maintain visibility of a high-value asset that may be on the move, as well as solid connectivity to capture data to ensure the asset’s integrity, is paramount.
With the Incognito IoT solution, service providers can:
Food safety and food wastage can make or break a restaurant establishment. Over the course of day-to-day operations, temperature and humidity measurements of fridges, freezers, and coolers are frequent, time-consuming, and manual, at best. A freezer door left open not only wastes energy, but food spoilage is to be expected.
With the Incognito IoT solution, service providers can:
A Tier 1 Latin American operator embarked on an in-house energy efficiency project. With a large number of devices to remotely support countrywide, full process automation was required to avoid the need for a technician truck roll to triage and fix power meter issues when they occurred.
With the Incognito IoT solution, this service provider can:
