AT&T IoT solution to run on Microsoft Azure cloud

AT&T president, IoT Solutions Chris PenroseAT&T has launched the latest IoT solution called AT&T Asset Management – Operations Center to assist businesses for the deployment of asset monitoring and management solutions in the Cloud.

Michael Angiulo, corporate vice president, ISV and SI at Microsoft, said the latest IoT solution from AT&T will run on Microsoft Azure cloud, and will use several Microsoft enterprise components, such as Azure Cosmos DB and Microsoft Power BI to track, monitor and manage IoT assets.

AT&T Asset Management – Operations Center enables a single IoT application, supporting multiple devices, communication protocols, networks and cloud environments. Its built-in dashboard lets customers tailor data visualization or use APIs to integrate it into existing enterprise systems.

AT&T will work with Microsoft to bring Operations Center to market. The solution takes advantage of AT&T IoT Platform Services (Flow) and the Azure cloud platform, providing global scale and high availability.

The solution will initially be deployed using AT&T Global SIM on LTE and LTE-M networks and, in the future, will be available through AT&T multi-network connectivity using other network modes like satellite and WiFi.

AT&T Control Center, which will be used for SIM management, provisioning and activation, helps customers speed time to market, run operations more efficiently and manage connected IoT device initiatives.

“AT&T is committed to giving enterprise customers the tools, platforms and the connectivity they need to more securely manage their IoT assets wherever they’re deployed,” said Chris Penrose, president, IoT Solutions, AT&T.
