IoT connectivity management software helps businesses monitor and control the network connections utilized within a connected device infrastructure. Internet of things (IoT) networks entail hundreds or thousands of unique connections between embedded objects and dedicated servers, allowing them to share continuous observations, generate valuable data, and trigger actions across the IoT architecture. IoT connectivity management software provides a centralized view of these specified networks, their various subscription plans, and the flow of data between networks and distributed assets.
These tools are primarily used by IT professionals and others involved with IoT network configuration, maintenance, and optimization. Utilization of IoT connectivity management software helps businesses achieve a fully realized IoT strategy with resources that are separate from the company’s primary IT infrastructure. IoT connectivity management tools can be used in conjunction with IoT platforms and IoT device management software to deploy and manage systems of connected devices. These solutions may share features of or integrate with network management software.
To qualify for inclusion in the IoT Connectivity Management category, a product must:
Present real-time information about IoT-related networks and device connections
Collect and analyze streaming data related to connected objects and corresponding networks
Track IoT network data plans, including data limits and term limits
Provide tools for adjusting plans and data flows to optimize usage and lower costs
