Industry Leaders to Collaborate to Roll Out
Industrial IoT Platform Leveraging Silver Spring Starfish™
Standards-Based Mesh Technology, Built on the Wi-SUN® Technology
Specification
Silver Spring Networks, Inc. (NYSE: SSNI) today announced it has
agreed to work with ESB Telecoms Ltd to develop a national Internet
of Things (IoT) network across Ireland. ESB Telecoms Ltd is a
wholly owned subsidiary of ESB and operates a national open access
wholesale telecommunications network throughout Ireland.
The envisioned network will serve as a catalyst for municipal,
commercial and industrial customers to connect IoT and smart city
applications and devices. Once the deployment of the IoT network is
completed, Silver Spring’s Starfish™ platform-as-a-service (PaaS)
would augment ESB Telecoms Ltd’s telecoms infrastructure and
services nationally. Starfish PaaS would offer service level
agreements, and be based on Silver Spring’s proven, secure,
reliable, Wi-SUN® standards-based mesh technology, built on the
IEEE 802.15.4g specification1.
“Many Irish cities, towns and businesses are interested in how
the IoT can help create new innovative, efficient and sustainable
services,” said Rory McGowan, Managing Director, ESB
Telcoms Ltd. “By working with Silver Spring Networks, we
believe that we’ll be able to accelerate IoT development
nationally, with the high standard of reliability and service that
our customers have come to expect from us. We look forward to
helping Ireland become a leader through the deployment of one of
the world’s first standards-based national IoT rollouts.”
“We will be honored to work with ESB Telecoms Ltd and see this
as a further endorsement of the Wi-SUN mesh network protocol.
Together we expect to utilize currently existing standards-based
technology to accelerate deployment of massive-scale networks for
devices, enabling entities to cost-effectively join the IoT
revolution through our Starfish
Platform-as-a-Service,” said Mike Bell, President and CEO,
Silver Spring Networks. “By its very nature, mesh technology
can securely aggregate data from widely distributed endpoints –
from dense urban environments to remote rural areas – and then
backhaul that data through the carriers’ towers. And above all,
it’s real and scalable – it has already proven itself for
industrial IoT on five continents.”
As mesh-connected devices communicate with their neighbor
devices, these networks are uniquely suited for delivering the
robust and reliable connectivity that IoT networks require. With
more than 26.7 million enabled devices delivered, Silver Spring has
deployed its technology in Bristol, Chicago, Copenhagen, Dubai,
Glasgow, Kolkata, London, Melbourne, Mexico City, Paris, San
Francisco, Sao Paulo, Singapore, and Washington, D.C.
