New IT platform initiative from iTelaSoft
View(s):iTelaSoft, announcing its active engagement in the narrowband IoT Solution space, has recently come up with its latest innovations, IoT Test Platform providing an invaluable tool for feasibility testing and deployment planning of IoT solutions for both telcos and IoT implementers.
Having helped one of the largest global telcos to assess the readiness of their IoT platform for real-world demand, iTelaSoft is now ready to take up the Narrowband IoT challenges globally, the company said in a media release.
Chrishmal Fernando, Lead Engineer said, “Narrowband IoT solutions are still emerging, but there’s a significant interest in the market. Both in Europe and the Americas, mobile network operators have been preparing for Narrowband services for the last few years. It’s fast spreading to the APAC region too. However, there are still many gaps in the ecosystem with availability of the narrowband capability, message hub load handling, protocol compliance etc. This is where site tests, message tests, load simulation and power consumption monitoring come in handy. The IoT Test Platform we have developed helps telcos to evaluate the platform readiness and Solution Providers to plan device deployments. With a recent exercise we have done with a large global Telco, we helped them to simulate the load demand in their IoT platform, identifying potential bottlenecks in the messaging pipeline.”
While the Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of online capable physical devices, vehicles, home appliances and many other items, narrowband networking of IoT is more effective, low- cost, long coverage and a promising technology for tomorrow.
The company’s Software Engineering Lead, Manoj Fernando added, “The ability to cover a large number of devices, wide and deep reception and low power consumption are compelling reasons why this technology is gaining rapid momentum. We have been building solutions in the IoT space using Wifi, Bluetooth and LoRA as the connectivity technology. Narrowband IoT adds a different value proposition in IoT solution building. We are talking about hundreds or thousands of sensors/actuators running autonomously for years”.
Indaka Raigama, CEO, iTelaSoft, added that: “iTelaSoft has been working with IoT Devices and Solutions for the last few years. We are a passionate bunch of electronic and software engineers, taking pride in innovation and problem solving.”
