Smart things, AI and Edge Intelligence

These types of use cases can use a lot of data, and need a high speed, reliable connection in order to function properly.

Smart hardware: many industrial companies are creating profitable recurring revenue streams by providing asset intelligence services on top of their machinery. Enabling services like predictive analytics and predictive maintenance requires a stable and tamperproof connection.
Smart consumer devices: many smart home and wearable device manufacturers are embedding a cellular connection in the next generation of products. By managing the connection rather than relying on the consumer’s network, you have more control over service termination and create upsell opportunities for smart services.
AI platforms: if you are a technology platform provider that uses real-time data input from connected hardware, high availability cellular networking allows you to tap into vast amounts of information in real-time. By constantly harvesting and processing information, you can unlock AI-powered automation and insights.
Edge intelligence: if you’ve made the decision to process intelligence as close to your data sources as possible, a robust gateway connectivity solution is required to funnel all the data in from your network of servers.

Facewatch empowers security cameras with advanced facial recognition

Facewatch works by installing a dedicated CCTV camera in retail stores, connected to an edge device which detects all faces and transmits their images securely via a mobile 4G router using Pelion’s resilient IoT connectivity to their secure cloud.
