nSpireIoT
Providing the device view necessary to support business, mission and life critical IoT services
When business critical is life or death
As more industries focus on the business outcomes from IoT (Internet of Things), the performance of smart connected devices becomes paramount. For manufacturing, agriculture, utility companies and communication service providers, it’s business critical; for emergency services and healthcare, it can be a matter of life and death.
nSpirte IoT’s unique device-view of the network helps fine-tune performance at the endpoint where sensors capture the data, before it is transmitted to IoT platforms that deliver applications to users.
Sector Use Cases
Emergency Services
For police, fire and ambulance services, the quality of an IoT connection is life critical in emergency situations. With nSpireIoT on a device in the field, there is a way to measure the quality of the mobile connection and, if it’s not good enough, switch to another network.
Healthcare / Medical
Reliable connectivity is paramount for the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) and patient-centric healthcare. With nSpireIoT installed on a wearable eHealth device or remote appliance, service providers can measure the patient’s quality of service experience.
Communication Service Providers
Hosting IoT platforms is a natural extension of CSP business models, one that will benefit from making nSpireIoT part of the proposition. Having the device view of the network, as well as their own, will help ensure a better customer experience.
Agriculture
IoT in agriculture is a revolution in progress, hindered by the challenge of extracting data from farming machinery in rural areas poorly served by mobile networks. nSpireIoT identifies issues from the equipment side to help improve data capture performance.
Utilities
Smart meters in utility industries – water, gas, electricity – have the power to transform highly regulated services, but only if the quality of the data is accurate. nSpireIoT’s individual device view provides data that will be mission critical to success.
Manufacturing
Factory-floor automation and predictive maintenance are powered by IoT devices, including sensors on machines and HD video cameras. Arm them with nSpireIoT and the quality of data collection will be assured and better inform data-driven processes associated with Industry 4.0.
Key benefits
Troubleshoot performance issues
By identifying throughput, latency and capacity limits around each device, and providing granular insight into performance at the gateway to the IoT platform, nSpireIoT helps troubleshoot technical issues and identify anomalies that might be a security breach.
Address operational challenges
IoT-driven workloads involving hundreds and thousands of devices will test the operational capabilities of many organisations. nSpireIoT provides visibility to cut through the complexity and help manage IoT solutions at scale with fewer resources.
Know when to switch networks
Our device-view shows the gap between how a network is really performing and what the MNO (Mobile Network Operator) claims. Compare different service providers when more than one connection is available and make the switch to avoid blind spots and drop-out.
Expose SLA breaches
The proliferation of connected devices will expose the bandwidth constraints and network limitations of MNOs. nSpireIoT data provides evidence of issues at the device/sensor end that can be used to negotiate more bandwidth and QoS (Quality of Service) assurances with the provider.
Inform better procurement
Even a small number of malfunctioning devices can have a huge impact on IoT networks, which is why our wireless edge device view is so critical. By comparing data in a process of elimination, we help identify hardware/software problems to inform subsequent procurement decisions.
Identify environmental factors
By comparing the performance of the same device in different locations, it’s possible to identify other factors that impact performance, including environmental conditions, such as high humidity or excessive cold.
How it works
Simple to install
The nSpireIoT software agent is seamlessly installed over-the-air onto endpoint devices or bundled with the SIM at the point of deployment. Our patented technology is compatible with every type of device, every generation of network 2G-5G, as well as WiFi, Bluetooth and satellite.
Run from the cloud
A Software-a-Service solution, nSpireIoT sits on the Endeavour Technologies cloud platform and is paid for on subscription as an OpEx rather than CapEx investment. A secure and a scalable off-the shelf-solution, it’s designed for simple and fast deployment onto millions of devices and is fully compliant with global regulatory requirements around data privacy.
Actionable Insights
Data is refreshed on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, depending on the data source and use cases, and monitored through a single pane of glass. The device-view provides unique dashboards and reports into a range of performance metrics. See how a high density of IoT devices increases network congestion or explore infrastructure maps that aggregate device data to show coverage by site, cell, neighbourhood, city or country.
Easy integration
Open APIs and flexible data access methods support smart feeds and easy integration with your gateway and IoT platform. By capturing signal strength and quality measurements at device level and then aggregating the data, we let you dig down into the performance of specific frequency bands and technologies. Data can be collected and collated for further business analysis and market differentiation.
