VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 16, 2017--Sierra
Wireless (NASDAQ:SWIR) (TSX:SW), a leading provider of fully integrated
device-to-cloud solutions for the Internet of Things (IoT), today
announced support for Google Cloud IoT Core, a fully managed service
that allows users to easily and securely connect and manage devices at
global scale.
Cloud IoT Core, together with other Google Cloud services, such as
Pub/Sub, Dataflow, Bigtable, BigQuery, and Data Studio, provide a
complete solution for collecting, processing, analyzing, and visualizing
IoT data in real time to support improved operational efficiency.
Sierra Wireless’ device-to-cloud solution, which includes embedded
wireless modules, gateways, and cloud and connectivity services, links
businesses to their operational data. The solution provides intelligence
at the edge, secured device provisioning and managed services, such as
device monitoring and software updates. Sierra Wireless has been working
with Google since 2015 to enable Pub/Sub integration of its AirVantage®
IoT Platform with Google Cloud services. Now, with support for Google
Cloud IoT Core, Sierra Wireless customers have more options to access
the entire Google ecosystem out of the box.
Key features of the new Cloud IoT Core solution:
-
End-to-end security - Enable end-to-end security using
certificate-based authentication and TLS; devices running Android
Things or ones supporting the Cloud IoT Core security requirements can
deliver full stack security.
-
Out-of-box data Insights - Use downstream analytic systems by
integrating with Google Big Data Analytics and ML services.
-
Serverless infrastructure: Scale instantly without limits using
horizontal scaling on Google’s serverless platform.
-
Role-level data control - Apply IAM roles to devices to control access
to devices and data.
-
Automatic device deployment - Use REST APIs to automatically manage
the registration, deployment and operation of devices at scale.
“Real-time, reliable and actionable processing of information is a
complex but critical element of IoT,” said Philippe Guillemette, CTO,
Sierra Wireless. “Sierra Wireless’ experience in helping customers
deploy more than one hundred million cloud-connected edge devices
coupled with Google’s Cloud IoT Core dramatically reduces this
complexity for businesses of any size.”
“Cloud IoT Core was designed to simplify digital transformation by
helping customers to leverage Google Cloud’s data analytics and machine
learning capabilities and act on insights, in real time, from
operational data that was previously inaccessible,” said Adam Massey,
Director, Strategic Technology Partners at Google Cloud. “By working
with industry leaders like Sierra Wireless, we are expanding the surface
of innovation to help more customers realize the value of connected
devices for their businesses.”
