ThingPark Wireless offers a converged IoT platform seamlessly integrating LoRaWAN and Cellular IoT technologies such as NB-IoT and LTE-M
ThingPark Wireless provides insertion into existing 3GPP mobile operator core using standard-compliant (S6a, S5/S8, T6a) and provides unified devices and connectivity management for IoT devices. The solution integrates both the Cellular IoT (NB-IoT and LTE-M) and LoRaWAN device and connectivity management and provides a unified interface to IoT subscribers which have both LoRaWAN and 3GPP (NB-IoT / LTE-M) based deployments.
As there is no unique IoT technology capable of covering all vertical use cases, it is necessary for service providers to supply radio agnostic solutions and network infrastructures
Various IoT technologies have different device and connectivity requirements. Service providers have no unique interface to provision, bill and manage device configuration and connectivity plans.
As IoT technologies are fragmented, data exposure is challenging, making integration with business application complex and costly.
3GPP core network licenses with traditional HSS/PGW/PCRF/PCEF and their integration with OSS/BSS modules are tailored for human-centric traffic and not adapted for small packet IoT use cases where per-device ARPU is 5-10x less compared to traditional M2M-
The Actility radio agnostic IoT management solution combines the ThingPark Wireless LoRaWAN network server with a custom-developed EPC Connector solution that provides insertion into existing 3GPP mobile operator core using standard-compliant interfaces (S6a, S5/S8, T6a) and provides unified device and connectivity management for IoT devices.
Traditional Internet protocol stacks (TCP-based) include regular keep-alives that fit to “always on” network models. However, being very greedy in terms of number and volume of messages exchanged, they quickly wipe out the benefits of technologies dedicated to IoT like NB-IoT and LTE-M.
