AT&T announced a new IoT platform, called AT&T Asset Management – Operations Center which is used for the deployment of asset monitoring and management products in the cloud. Built on the AT&T IoT Platform Services (Flow) platform, it will run on the Microsoft Azure cloud platform, and will use several Microsoft enterprise components, such as Azure Cosmos DB and Microsoft Power BI, to enable business customers to track, monitor and manage their deployed IoT assets.
AT&T will initially work with Microsoft to bring Operations Center to market. The platform will initially be deployed using AT&T Global SIM on LTE and LTE-M networks and, in the future, will be available through AT&T multi-network connectivity using other network modes like satellite and WiFi. AT&T Control Center will be used for SIM management, provisioning and activation. It helps customers’ speed time to market, run operations more efficiently and manage connected IoT device initiatives.
AT&T Asset Management – Operations Center is the first in a series of multi-market, multi-cloud reference products built on AT&T IoT Platform (Flow) for IoT to help speed enterprise customers’ time to market. It will be available to beta customers later in 2017.
