Sierra Wireless hosts ‘Simplifying IoT’ seminars
13 June 2018, News
Based around the theme ‘Simplifying IoT,’ Sierra Wireless recently held one-day seminars in Cape Town, Centurion and Durban.
Presentations covering a variety of product ranges and topics were delivered by a team of Sierra Wireless staff: regional manager Andrew Roesch and local FAE Phillip Nel; Paul Anand (sales director key accounts and energy) Francois Freulon (director product management) and Rabi Kobeissi (sales manager IoT solutions, EMEA) from France; and Rafik Jallad (SR director short range products) from the UK.
A consistent theme throughout the seminars was LPWA (low-power, wide-area) technology, which the company is clearly focusing on as a market with high growth potential. An example of this is its cooperation with Vodacom on trialling a NB-IoT (narrowband Internet of Things) network. Sierra is also targeting GNSS (global navigation satellite systems) with a new dedicated product line of fully integrated modules, which are available with or without an embedded antenna.
Another key area that was emphasised is the company’s support for open-source communities, specifically Legato (a Linux embedded application development platform) and MangOH (sensor-to-cloud hardware platform).
The seminars were supported by the Sierra Wireless distributor for South Africa, Arrow Altech Distribution, as well as EDA Technologies. Comb Communications, a local developer of access control products, also gave a presentation outlining its involvement with Sierra Wireless – one pioneering project the two companies worked on earned Comb an invitation to exhibit its solution at the annual Sierra Wireless Innovation Summit in Paris last year.
