money, reduce consumption, earn new revenue, and stimulate new
jobs
Synchronoss Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:SNCR), a global leader
and innovator of cloud, messaging, digital, and IoT
products, today announced that it has joined the AT&T
Smart Cities Strategic Alliance to help transform cities around the
world. Its digital and IoT product portfolio and expertise will be
leveraged by some of the mobile industry’s biggest names to create
productive IoT use cases and clear, tangible business outcomes for
global smart cities.
As part of the AT&T Smart Cities Alliance, Synchronoss will
orchestrate its digital, messaging, cloud, and IoT technologies to
innovate across the vertical segments of a Smart City. By working
with K2View, and leveraging its real-time analytics Fabric
platform, Synchronoss will integrate disparate databases, providing
notifications and alerts to synchronize information across vertical
segments. Synchronoss helps cities enhance the operations of
managing their digital nodes and data. Through the automation
orchestration of digital touch points, to cloud storage and smart
messaging, Synchronoss will help cities save money, reduce
consumption, earn new revenue, and stimulate new jobs:
- Synchronoss Digital powers the
activation of IoT devices and the automation of data analysis,
workflows, and fulfilment. These functions will be delivered by the
Synchronoss Digital platform which will ensure that devices are
able to be connected and work together effectively and
efficiently.
- Synchronoss Messaging is a
smart, automated dialogue interface that lets people converse with
devices, nodes, and partners to better manage the operation of IoT
use cases. This includes the use of Bot messaging and AI driven
notifications and alerts.
- Synchronoss Cloud provides a
secure, single point data storage to allow IoT systems to access
data securely and in real-time. The importance of secure cloud
storage is evident in many current IoT and smart city use cases;
for example, the data gathered by drones needs to be stored in a
secure cloud that is accessible in real-time according to
pre-defined permissions.
“We’re delighted that Synchronoss will be joining our Smart
Cities Alliance,” said Mike Zeto, General Manager, AT&T Smart
Cities. “As a prominent early pioneer of IoT within AT&T prior
to joining Synchronoss, we’re pleased that Glenn, and his
colleagues, recognize the value in being part of our industry
collaboration and driving the development of smart cities.”
“Momentum for commercial IoT deployments continues to build,
creating exciting applications and use cases for smart cities,”
said Glenn Lurie, CEO at Synchronoss. “Our technologies and
platforms are set to play a major role in managing the interaction
of devices, digital nodes, and data in complex IoT environments. We
help companies use IoT technology to add to their bottom line,
optimize consumption, streamline operations, and open up lucrative
new revenue streams. We’re therefore excited to be joining an
important industry Alliance for the creation and promotion of
next-generation smart cities and IoT services.”
The AT&T Smart Cities Alliance was formed in 2016 to support
the launch of AT&T’s smart city framework initiative. The
framework, which aims to enhance cities’ connectivity, is made up
of several key industry players including major network equipment
vendors, IT service providers, chipset manufacturers and prominent
industry consultants.
