The Telit IoT Portal has added dashboarding, remote device management and network steering capabilities to its IoT platform, used by engineers to connect IoT devices, apps, cloud and IT services in one user interface.
Telit is now compatible with the Android open source framework within their app creation software. These new functions will allow engineers to optimize their IoT product’s usability and connectivity allowing for faster times to market.
Some of the key features available to the dashboard creator include: graphing, visualization and real-time data intelligence.
Users can also remotely configure and troubleshoot IoT devices using the device management features new to the Telit IoT Portal.
Devices already on the Telit system are automatically integrated into the management system. Non-Telit devices will need to be integrated using an application-programming interface (API) and Telit’s deviceWISE technology.
With the added connectivity management abilities of the Telit IoT Portal, engineers will be able to manage connection lifecycle, assess its quality and set all the parameters for the data plan. With this control, the engineer will be able to optimize the performance and data costs of the IoT system.
Some other connectivity improvements include:
- Built-in connected device platform (CDP) to aggregate data across networks around the world
- Switch feature for roaming network steering to offset the risks of mobile network failure
Another integral part of the Telit IoT Portal is the Telit IoT AppZone, an application development environment (ADE) made up of an integrated development environment (IDE).
Using C and Python programming languages, engineers are able to create new applications for their IoT devices. With compatibility to the Android open source framework, they can now use the Android tools and libraries to create their apps.
“By adding the Android framework to the IoT AppZone in this new generation of the ADE we have not only enriched its feature set and flexibility, but also expanded the reach of the tool to a much larger community of developers, who can now enjoy the benefits of consolidating hardware and simplifying development by installing and running their application in the modules,” said Felix Marchal, Telit’s Chief Product Officer.
All these changes to Telit’s offering are beneficial as it isn’t enough to just connect devices to the IoT.
Users have to do something with that data and display it in a method that is easy for internal and external customers to comprehend. The Dashboarding technology from Telit will be a key improvement to the platform as it facilitates this data comprehension.
By improving how this data is acquired, design teams will be able to better understand how the products are used allowing for greater product improvements throughout the development cycle, from maintenance predictions to design flaw detections.
