Ross Gray, VP, Product Management, Sierra Wireless said: “Sierra
Wireless has removed the integration and management complexity that
stalls many IoT initiatives. Our RC Series allows companies to
instantly connect their deployments anywhere in the world to our
global network with best-in-class reliability and security. Our
unique device-to-cloud bundled solutions will dramatically reduce
total costs for customers, while allowing them to focus on their
core business, rather than IoT deployment complexities.”
The RC Series modules integrate best-in-class connectivity,
expanded smart edge processing options and end-to-end security.
Sierra Wireless will offer a variety of bundled module and
connectivity subscription services for different IoT applications,
including an LTE Cat-4 solution ideal for industrial gateways,
public safety, and enterprise applications, and an LTE Cat-1
solution ideal for transportation, fleet management, and access
security applications. Similar to Sierra Wireless’ industry leading
HL and WP Series, the RC Series will feature multiple air
interfaces, including future LPWA modules. Monthly connectivity
subscription plans for all RC Series module bundles can be tailored
to meet the exact needs of specific use cases.
Simplifying IoT Deployment and Operations Like any module
from Sierra Wireless, RC Series modules simplify operations with a
single management platform and point of accountability for device
and network troubleshooting, anywhere in the world. A built-in
smart SIM eliminates the need for managing and provisioning
external SIMs, while providing the best coverage available in any
given region, with 99.9% service guarantee. Customers can easily
optimize connectivity consumption, manage subscriptions and ensure
edge devices are always up-to-date and secure using Sierra
Wireless’ cloud and device management platform.
Industry’s Lowest TCO with Ready-to-Connect Modules
Sierra Wireless Ready-to-Connect modules provide the industry’s
lowest TCO for OEMs and system integrators. By reducing IoT
management costs and eliminating SIM logistics and truck rolls to
resolve connectivity issues, Ready-to-Connect bundles reduce TCO by
up to 40 percent*, compared to other available embedded modules.
Customers can work with one vendor for their IoT infrastructure and
avoid the complex pairing of multiple components that can lead to
security vulnerabilities.
Faster, Future-Proof Development Built on the Sierra
Wireless CF3® (Common Flexible Form Factor) design, the RC Series
is the only module platform IoT developers need to connect their
devices with expanded edge processing options in addition to
essential connectivity options. Customers currently using Sierra
Wireless’ HL Series modules for essential connectivity and WP
Series for additional edge processing can easily migrate to the RC
Series and accelerate time-to-market by up to six months.
End-to-End Security The Ready-to-Connect RC Series
provides best-in-class security through the integrated, secure
Sierra Wireless Core Network and AirVantage® IoT platform,
complemented by a tamper-proof embedded SIM. Sierra Wireless
adheres to best-in-class device, network and cloud security
practices and the modules feature built-in secure boot, secure
firmware upgrades, and secret key rotation over the air to keep
data and deployments secure. Sierra Wireless’ resilient network
infrastructure includes private network options with 24/7
monitoring to provide an end-to-end secure data stream from the
device to the cloud.
