5. Proposed Offerings

5.1 Introduction

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a grid of things (objects/sensors) that contain embedded software to
communicate and interact with their internal states or the external environment. These IoT Sensors have
ability to collect and transfer data over a network without manual intervention. The connecting of assets,
processes and personnel enables individuals/ enterprises in learning the behavior and usage, achieve
predictive analytics and reengineer business processes. The IoT is a foundational capability for the
creation of a digital business.

With dynamically changing requirements on the daily operational activities, it has become evident that
we make use of technology and leverage on the strengths of connected devices for providing operational
managers, back office analytics team with more data points. These data points are available in today’s
world from various channels / medium.

• The IoT offers opportunities for variety of use cases. IoT solutions can be very different,
depending on objectives, technology and infrastructure, but they have a lot in common.
• One of the most important issues to be addressed is how to connect the different
communication technologies used by all sorts of devices to the Internet.
• This makes individual solutions an inefficient option and leads to the adoption of a single
platform to address problems that are shared by all devices and all applications.

Locate365 an IoT platform built on specialized IoT Framework, enabling it to be quickly used and applied
for various use cases. Techno Brain solutions that use this Locate365 Platform are already operating in
several market areas, giving customers the opportunity to benefit from all the savings and control
advantages offered by the IoT.

24 Machine to Machine / Internet of Things Engagement For Ethio Telecom


Proposal for Machine to Machine / Internet of Things Engagement

6. Proposed Solution - Locate365 – Enterprise IoT Platform


Locate365 Internet of Things (IoT) platform is a multi-layer service that enables straightforward
provisioning, management, and automation of connected devices bringing together into the value chain.
IoT platforms typically handle ongoing management tasks and data visualization, which allow users to
automate their environment. You can think of these platforms as the middleman between the data
collected at the edge and the user-facing SaaS or mobile application.

Locate – IOT Platform provides data and management platform which acquires, stores and analyses data
from field gateways or sensors connected to various networks.

MAIN FEATURES

• Connected Platform with various edge hardware - sensors, gateways to single Data Account
• Data platform as middleware
• Multitenant platform with individual access rights
• Multi-Protocol Ready Platform

25 Machine to Machine / Internet of Things Engagement For Ethio Telecom


Proposal for Machine to Machine / Internet of Things Engagement

7. Characteristics of Proposed Platform (Locate365)


IoT Data is different from the data that typical application architectures and platforms have been created
to solve. IoT data, or sensor data, has 3 unique characteristics:

7.1 The Data is Time based Data

IoT is synonymous with time-stamped data, or time series data since the purpose of any sensor is to
measure change over time. To gain insight and act, systems need to evaluate and analyze the data
based on timeframes and ranges. The Modern IoT Data Platform needs to be optimized for time series
data.

7.2 The Data is Streaming Data

IoT is synonymous with streaming data. Data is created by different sensors, and each sensor emits a
relentless stream of data. The Modern IoT Data Platform needs to be optimized for streaming data and
has actionable analytics to find the signal from all the noise

7.3 It is real time Data

Sensors capture and emit data in real time. Greater business value is derived if the data can also be
interpreted and acted upon in real time. The Modern IoT Data Platform is designed to handle real-time
ingestion and real-time streaming analytics.

Having sensors and getting more data is irrelevant to the business if this data cannot be used to gain
real-time insights, accelerate decision-making, perform automated tasks, and create value by enabling
organizations to become data-driven. We see businesses getting value from their IoT data in 3 major
areas:

26 Machine to Machine / Internet of Things Engagement For Ethio Telecom


Proposal for Machine to Machine / Internet of Things Engagement

8. Advanced IoT platforms


An IoT platform plays a pivotal role for smart device vendors
and startups, who can use it to equip their products with
remote control and real-time monitoring functions,
configurable alerts and notifications, pluggable cloud services,
and integration with consumers’ smartphones and other
devices.

Another broad application of the IoT platform is cost


optimization for companies in the industrial, agriculture, and
transportation sectors through remote monitoring of devices
and vehicles, predictive maintenance of equipment, collecting
sensor data for real-time production analytics and ensuring
safety, and end-to-end cargo delivery tracking.

An IoT platform is the essential technology for improving


customer experience in retail, healthcare, hospitality, and
travelling domains. It is used to enable highly personalized
services and ensure stress-free interaction between the customer
and the company. A case in point is remote patient monitoring
and treatment solutions, which are incredibly convenient to use
and save a person much time on regular visits to the hospital.

Finally, Real time Dashboard will provide IoT Dashboards for data
visualization and remote device control in real-time.
