Sierra Wireless has announced it has entered into a strategic collaboration with Microsoft to offer what is claimed to be one of the industry’s first full-stack Internet of Things (IoT) solutions.
Sierra’s new Octave edge data orchestration solution has been successfully connected with Microsoft’s Azure IoT Central, a software as a service (SaaS) offering that allows customers to build and deploy production-grade IoT applications in hours without any experience in cloud computing or requiring specialised skills. The solution will simplify and speed up the process of getting edge data to the cloud once it gets into production, allowing enterprises to realise the value of IoT for the world of Industry 4.0.
