Aeris: Layered connectivity and integration for real-world IoT applications

An Intellyx Brain Candy Brief

So far, IoT (Internet of Things) devices have fallen short of the promise of ‘connecting everything’ in the global marketplace. Take the first generation of fee-based connected car services for example, which experienced high abandonment rates, leaving the door open for mobile phone-based interfaces to service that mobile connection need.

Aeris is a well-funded multinational with several large-scale implementations running in the field, intent on making the second generation of IoT easier for business uptake. They offer a mobility development platform and multi-network service layer that aims to bring down the cost and effort of building connected applications for vehicles and a broad range of other mobile or location-based devices, from industrial controls to medical monitors.

With millions of dollars already invested by companies in IoT and edge computing, the best route to IoT ubiquity depends on taking what works today and modernizing the business model from there. 

Aeris has a modular approach to its services, so a company wanting to gracefully deploy firmware or security updates on old 2G/3G networked devices with one carrier, can simultaneously build a multi-carrier platform for 4G/5G IoT devices with an integrated front-end UX.
