WASHINGTON, Feb. 22, 2018 /PRNewswire/ --
- Enabling massive adoption of Massive IoT is a stepping stone to
making 5G a reality
- IoT Accelerator Marketplace boosts the potential for players in
the Cellular IoT ecosystem to deliver value
- Easy onboarding of partners and customer applications for
service providers advancing to enterprise IoT. Application
developers and application partners can easily and efficiently join
the ecosystem and scale their business in a cost-efficient way
Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) is launching the IoT Accelerator
Marketplace to help address the need for collaboration within the
digital ecosystem community and benefit developers and service
providers alike.
For service providers, it is a catalog to find IoT apps from the
global ecosystem to offer enterprise customers and provides shorter
time to market for new offerings to their enterprise customers.
For application developers and application partners it is a
window to an IoT ecosystem to connect with service providers
through one single platform, exposing global cellular connectivity
APIs. It also includes monetization and settlement capabilities to
facilitate monetization and billing across the ecosystem.
Carrie MacGillivray, Group Vice
President, Internet of Things & Mobility at Market Intelligence
firm IDC, says: "Communications service providers are racing to
scale and differentiate in the fast moving IoT market. It's
necessary for these service providers to have a robust developer
ecosystem that helps them compete. For developers working across
multiple service provider networks and platforms, the challenges of
fragmentation are addressed by utilizing APIs that apply globally
and are consistent across all mobile networks."
Jeff Travers, Head of IoT,
Ericsson, says: "The launch of IoT Accelerator Marketplace will
unlock the potential for different players in the value chain to
deliver value. It is another stepping stone to make 5G a reality by
enabling massive adoption of massive IoT. This supports service
providers as they seek to expose network connectivity IoT APIs and
monetize these assets."
Application developers can benefit from a new go-to-market
exposing their offering globally through Ericsson. This will enable
app developers to scale their business and at the same time develop
applications based on cellular connectivity APIs with added value
for enterprises, such as fast and automated device and subscription
onboarding, higher security, ubiquitous cellular coverage around
the world improved for indoor utilization, and superior handling of
battery life.

offering comprising of platform services and professional services,
