Mobile Network and WLAN Localization

Determine the geographical position of your IoT devices when no GPS is available/allowed, using cellular network or WLAN information

Target groups:

Customers who want to track devices and machinery that are not equipped with GPS
Low-cost and very energy efficient battery-powered tracking devices that are not equipped with GPS

Details:

Determine the geographic location of devices
No GPS needed, hence very energy and cost efficient devices possible

Technical data:

Devices need cellular modem or WLAN
The signal strength of mobile phone base stations or WLAN access points is used to determine the position of the devices
Triangulation is used for higher accuracy of site determination using the signal strength of at least three base stations or WLAN access points

Available for:

Cloud of Things Smart
Cloud of Things Enterprise

Remote Control

Control and configure managed devices securely, easy and fast from within the Cloud of Things portal remotely from anywhere

Target groups:

Users who want to have remote access to their equipment
IT technicians, dispersed teams who need to manage remote systems

Details:

From within the Cloud of Things user interface, administrators can access the graphical user interface of remote devices (machines)
VNC protocol

Technical data:

VNC protocol
Prerequisite is the installation of a VNC server on the device to be controlled

Available for:

Cloud of Things Smart
Cloud of Things Enterprise

Microservice Runtime

Extend Cloud of Things functionality with your own microservices running in Docker containers on a Kubernetes cluster

Target groups:

Developers at system integrators and solution providers wishing to extend Cloud of Things functionality with their own microservices
Developers with very specific needs, writing own microservices to extend Cloud of Things

Details:

Includes resource package of 2 cores, 4 GB memory (Smart and Enterprise), 1 core (Local Cloud Extension)
Extension packages of 2 cores, 4 GB memory available (Smart and Enterprise), 1 core (Local Cloud Extension)
