- Telia Company, Latvijas Mobilais Telefons and Telekom Slovenije bring the service to eight additional European countries
- First customers in Germany and Austria
- More than a dozen additional partners, powerful new features
Deutsche Telekom is partnering with mobile network operators and additional suppliers to further expand the IoT Solution Optimizer ecosystem. In addition, the first customers are using this innovative platform since its launch in 2019. The IoT Solution Optimizer is designed for companies that want to cost-effectively deploy reliable, battery-powered Mobile IoT solutions for a host of vertical industries, from asset tracking and security solutions to smart city services. Developers and service providers can model and optimize a “virtual twin” of their design before deploying the planned IoT solutions. The service is a building block in the larger vision to simplify IoT by focusing on high customer convenience and quicker time-to-market for customer applications.
“We are excited to see the IoT Solution Optimizer growing with the addition of new partners and service features. It is extremely easy to use, provides clear guidance throughout the process as well as excellent choice for all necessary IoT solution elements,” says Rami Avidan, Senior Vice President, responsible for the IoT business at Deutsche Telekom. “Most importantly, the IoT Solution Optimizer helps enterprises to optimize the performance of their IoT applications, securing up to six months of additional battery life on average for planned IoT deployments. These additional months of operation can make or break a business case.”
First customers in Germany and Austria
The IoT Solution Optimizer is part of Deutsche Telekom’s strategy to scale-up IoT business faster, and support enterprises of all sizes wanting to succeed in the Internet of Things. Based in Germany, axxessio and ORBIT IT-Solutions are among the first IoT consultancy companies helping enterprises build more profitable IoT services with the IoT Solution Optimizer. One:solutions Engineering, one of Magenta Telekom’s customers in Austria, uses the service to assess product reliability and reduce R&D costs.
