The success of IoT projects is often contingent on difficult, complicated, and time-consuming integrations. Therefore, Ericsson has launched IoT Accelerator Connect to provide enterprises with one-click plug-and-play access to cellular IoT connectivity. Thanks to the solution, devices can connect at any time and even end-to-end device onboarding is possible, with an IoT-ready cellular module that instantly connects the subscription to the customer’s chosen network. Kyle Okamoto, General Manager of IoT at Ericsson, said: “Ericsson IoT Accelerator Connect makes a difference by transforming access to IoT connectivity with plug-and-play simplicity. This solution covers device, network and cloud connectivity, while removing barriers for enterprises, communications service providers,” said Kyle Okamoto, General Manager of IoT at Ericsson.

IoT Accelerator Connect

IoT Accelerator Connect advances digital transformation across the IoT ecosystem. Because Ericsson channel partners can more easily onboard new companies and grow their business. Module providers can offer automatic connection of newly powered on devices (bootstrapping), and large-scale cloud providers can provide instant connections. Among its advantages are:

Advantages for companies: IoT Accelerator Connect offers a layer of packaged services that promotes unification and minimizes complexity. Benefits for developers: Developers have at their fingertips instant access to the most appropriate connectivity for their specific use case, coverage, and service level needs, as well as access to automated startup of both devices and data targets. the data. In a matter of minutes, the tools allow developers to go from one device to millions of devices with ease.

Ericsson launches IoT Accelerator Connect to facilitate enterprise IoT connectivity

Additionally, IoT Accelerator Connect includes the following integrated services:

IoT Accelerator Cloud Connect It makes it easy for businesses to self-boot and securely connect cellular devices to public cloud IoT endpoints like Amazon Web Services and Azure.
IoT Accelerator Device Connect helps businesses rapidly adopt cellular IoT connectivity by simplifying the deployment of IoT devices with eSIMs pre-integrated into the module, automatically located to a CSP’s network.
IoT Accelerator Connect Hub enables Ericsson partners to onboard self-service businesses by connecting to external digital channels. Enterprise developers can immediately access participating partner self-service and source code.
IoT Accelerator Developer Portal helps enterprise developers build IoT applications on the IoT Accelerator with tutorials, tools, and code samples, supplementing the official documentation provided by Ericsson.
IoT Accelerator Embedded Connect enables any solution provider to easily integrate cellular connectivity into their solutions.
