A Shorter, Simpler Path to IoT Insights

Sierra Wireless has long been an industry leader in IoT devices and services. We know firsthand the challenges involved in launching and scaling IoT projects—and the limited options available to enterprises to overcome them.

So, we decided to build something better. Octave is the first true end-to-end enterprise IoT solution in the industry, combining deep edge device connectivity, network connectivity and cloud service APIs into a single offer. With Octave, you can:

Build applications, not infrastructure: We securely integrate device, network and cloud APIs into a single solution, so your developers can focus on building applications and business value, not reinventing data collection infrastructure.

Be ready for billions of things: Use a platform that’s ready to connect and manage billions of things, based on a massively scalable infrastructure from the global cellular IoT leader. Sierra Wireless already supports 3 million IoT connectivity subscribers, 2 million cloud users and has shipped 150 million IoT devices worldwide.

Use a single development platform for both edge devices and cloud services: We provide unified data orchestration from cloud to edge, so your developers can innovate and effectively manage the data tsunami using the skills and tools they already know.

What does you business need now?

Scalable infrastructure
An easy to use development platform
A system were developers can build, deploy and refine applications

Octave Data Orchestration PlatformSince the earliest days of the IoT, Sierra Wireless has led the industry in simple, secure edge connectivity. We don’t make the connected assets or the cloud application infrastructure that hosts asset monitoring systems. Rather, we focus on making it as simple as possible for you to securely connect the two. That idea isn’t new. What is new, however, is that we can now provide all the components of distributed IoT connectivity—LPWA edge processing, cloud processing, end-to-end security, and wireless connectivity anywhere in the world—as a single, integrated offer and user experience. We’re moving beyond our longtime focus on individual pieces of the IoT puzzle to deliver a fully integrated IoT technology stack. And we’re giving developers powerful new capabilities to generate and manage IoT data streams.With Octave, your application developers have control over the entire data layer stack. From cloud to edge, they can orchestrate their data flow to ensure that the right data is sent at the right time, with the right priority, to the right system of record. For the first time, they can control and push changes to rules and configurations for edge devices just as frequently as dynamically as they can to software running in the cloud. This game-changing capability allows developers to take a faster-paced, more agile approach to IoT system development. Development lifecycles take a fraction of the time they used to. And developers now have the much-needed flexibility to optimize back-end code after the solution is launched.Bottom line: IoT is no longer a special use case, requiring entirely different tools and skill sets from the rest of your enterprise software environment. Your developers can now build, deploy and refine IoT applications as easily as any other business application. And you can take IoT ideas from conception to large-scale implementation in a fraction of the time, with a fraction of the effort.
