Verizon Business to accelerate IoT solution creation and deployment with Microsoft Azure
23 Juillet 2020 - 3:00PM
Today, Verizon Business announced plans to simplify and accelerate
end-to-end IoT solution creation by providing all the critical
components in the IoT value chain available to customers, such as
connected devices, network/capability, cloud hosting and artificial
intelligence. Verizon’s industry-leading 5G/LTE Network, ThingSpace
IoT platform - including secure connectivity to Verizon’s
industry-leading 5G/LTE network and full management and diagnostics
capabilities - and Critical Asset Sensor (CAS) devices have been
integrated with Microsoft Azure to enable IoT Builders to create
new IoT applications quickly and efficiently.
Microsoft Azure IoT Central provides
application-level, cloud-based analytics, as well as pre-built
templates for a variety of industry use cases. By integrating
Verizon’s ThingSpace platform and Azure infrastructure, IoT system
builders, integrators and service providers are able to quickly
develop, deploy and operationalize complete IoT solutions.
“This is about simplifying IoT solution
development,” said Aamir Hussain, Verizon Business’ senior vice
president of Business Products. “By integrating the Verizon and
Microsoft platforms, we are enabling IoT builders to more easily
get their solutions to market, and ultimately, into the hands of
users. It’s about moving the IoT industry forward and making it
easier for businesses and consumers to benefit from IoT
innovation”.
“Microsoft has been on a mission to simplify IoT by
introducing Azure IoT Central, IoT Plug and Play and other Azure
solutions,” said Tony Shakib, GM of IoT Business Acceleration at
Microsoft. “The integration with Verizon makes it easier and to
build cellular IoT solutions by leveraging Verizon’s network and
ThingSpace platform.”
One of the first large enterprise ‘builders’,
Cognizant, is an early adopter of the integrated platform, using it
to develop an IoT application for the efficient management and use
of cold storage, which supports vital business operations for
perishables, including storage and shipping of food and
pharmaceuticals.
For example, the application monitors prescription
drugs while in storage to ensure they are in optimal condition,
safeguarding the quality of the pharmaceuticals that are
distributed to customers and reducing the amount of perished
inventory. Cognizant’s solution gives pharmaceutical retailers
greater visibility of inventory throughout the transit
pipeline.
“The global pandemic has disrupted nearly every
supply chain. Connected IoT solutions are more essential than ever
to protect all of us,” said Frank Antonysamy, Global Head of
Cognizant’s IoT business. “Every temperature-sensitive product can
now be monitored to ensure product integrity from shipping through
to the consumer. Working with Verizon and Microsoft on the
ThingSpace platform enables us to deploy new technologies to help
ensure that the food we eat and medicines we take are safe.”
This solution is globally available today. To learn
