El auge de la Internet de las cosas

What is IoT?

The Internet of Things (IoT) is many things to many people. Everything from new applications, such as smart cities or autonomous vehicles to massive sensor networks for monitoring environmental or industrial systems.

It also means a fundamental change in the way mobile network operators build and manage networks to remain profitable.

The anticipated massive scale, combined with a lower average revenue per connected device, is bringing about the most significant change yet in network architectures.

Does your network have the visibility needed to manage this transformation? Will your existing mobile services be impacted by IoT-driven changes?

EXFO has the expertise and solutions you need to make sure your networks continue to perform flawlessly as you transition into the IoT era.

IoT use cases and solutions

There is no one-size-fits-all for IoT, but there is a common need—quality of service. Having clear visibility into network and service performance is critical to the success of every IoT application. Testing, monitoring and assuring must be integral to every solution. From industry leading handheld test sets to virtualized assurance solutions to real-time analytics platforms to simulators for network and equipment validation, EXFO has the solutions to support any IoT network.

Connected vehicles

Roads filled with self-driving vehicles and skies filled with drones; an emerging reality that, without a centralized control system ensuring the safety of vehicles and people, would result in chaos.

For such a control system to work, the network needs to be fast (< 1 ms latency), always on (at least ‘six 9's’ availability) and able to handle 1000’s of vehicles, moving at highway speeds across multiple cell sites.

Having the tools and expertise to ensure visibility and control of IoT networks and services throughout the entire lifecycle is critical for success.
