Sierra Wireless’ Acculink managed IoT solution
integrated with Microsoft Azure IoT Central brings simplicity,
extra functionality and capabilities for customers
Sierra Wireless (NASDAQ: SWIR) (TSX: SW), a world leading IoT
solutions provider, today announced that its managed IoT solution,
Acculink, has been successfully integrated with Microsoft Azure IoT
Central. Acculink helps companies to track the location and
condition of high-value and sensitive assets.
Acculink leverages Sierra Wireless’ unique expertise in IoT
devices, global connectivity, and cloud to deliver a single
solution companies can use to monitor the near real-time status of
assets anywhere in the world, and is delivered as a service for a
single monthly fee. Azure IoT Central is an Application Platform as
a Service (aPaaS) that provides solution builders with the easiest
and most cost-effective way to connect and manage devices at scale,
enabling their customers to use IoT data in their digital
transformations.
“Drawing on our more than two decades of experience in the IoT
market, Sierra Wireless has designed Acculink to address the three
key needs facing companies as they seek to track high-value and
sensitive assets – real-time visibility, product-level tracking,
and exception-based monitoring,” said Jim Ryan, SVP Partnerships,
Marketing and IoT Solutions, Sierra Wireless. “As a long-time
partner of Microsoft, we are excited to now be able to offer our
customers added functionality, and the ability to quickly leverage
the suite of devices that are supported by Microsoft’s Azure IoT
Central. Azure IoT Central allows us to integrate third party
devices with the Azure platform quickly and easily, and any device
that is already integrated with IoT Central can be easily leveraged
on Acculink’s platform.”
“Acculink is a big win for customers in logistics and supply
chain management, allowing them to monitor real-time status of
their assets anywhere in the world,” said Sam George, Corporate
Vice President, Azure IoT at Microsoft Corp. “Building Acculink
with Azure IoT Central gave Sierra Wireless a number of important
advantages—allowing them to accelerate their solution development
efforts by reducing complexity, to deliver an offer that scales
globally, and to take advantage of our large IoT Plug and Play
device portfolio and device builder ecosystem.”
Built on a foundation provided by Microsoft Azure cloud,
Acculink is now integrated with Azure IoT Central providing a
managed solution bundling both the hardware and platform. Now, with
Azure IoT Central, Acculink offers customers device management,
application enablement, and an administrative interface to track
and monitor high-value and sensitive assets via an IoT platform,
built on Azure.
A new one-stop end-to-end solution to track and manage cargo and
assets in transit, Acculink provides customers with the
supply-chain visibility they require to avoid shipping delays,
minimize dwell time, prevent theft, and remediate environmental
conditions that can lead to asset damage. In addition to tracking
the location of these assets, Acculink can also alert customers if
an asset is exposed to light, changes in temperature, humidity,
shock, or other conditions that might spoil or otherwise damage it.
Together, Acculink and Azure enable customers to build rules on the
time series data generated based on location, sensor readings, and
their use-case needs.
Availability
Acculink is currently available to customers throughout North
America and comes in three varieties – Acculink Cargo for tracking
shipments, Acculink Fleet for tracking vehicles, and Acculink
Satellite which provides global satellite tracking, without the
need for cellular activity. Sierra Wireless plans to expand
availability of the solutions to other regions in the future.
