GEC NEWS WIRECisco Jasper introduced a new expanded model to bring the benefits of its IoT connectivity platform – Control Center – to a broader audience. Control Center 7.0 addresses business’ needs for greater flexibility with a new multi-tiered IoT platform that gives companies various options to meet their specific needs, regardless of which stage of IoT implementation they are in. This new platform is also paired with a new set of Premium Services that address previously unmet needs in the industry related to IoT monetization and security.
“We first introduced our Control Center IoT connectivity management platform to the market over 10 years ago, and since then it has become the largest IoT platform with over 43M devices being managed today, and more than 1.5M new devices being added per month,” said Jahangir Mohammed, GM of IoT at Cisco.
AT&T, a Cisco Jasper service provider partner, is integrating these additional capabilities to meet IoT needs for a broad range of industries. The platform will be called AT&T Control Center Advanced, and will be paired with AT&T Premium Services.
“We work with companies of every size and across every industry. No two companies are in the same stage when it comes to their IoT initiatives,” said Chris Penrose, President, IoT Solutions, AT&T. “When we acquired Jasper, we made a promise to the industry that Cisco and Jasper would be more than the sum of our separate parts – that we would create something better together,” said Rowan Trollope, SVP and GM of IoT and Applications at Cisco.
