Device Management in IoT [Webinar]

Device management in IoT is an essential component for any platform looking to scale, enhance security, and improve operational efficiency. While many standard platforms offer basic monitoring and data collection, large-scale deployments require a more advanced solution. In our recent webinar, we explored the critical role device management plays in optimizing IoT systems and how it can positively impact business outcomes.

Key features of device management include provisioning and authentication, ensuring devices are securely introduced to the network. It also enables configuration and control, allowing centralized updates and adjustments. Monitoring and diagnostics provide real-time insight into device performance, and automatic software updates reduce downtime. These capabilities help streamline device management, making it easier to maintain devices and enhance their longevity.

Beyond operational ease, device management strengthens security by protecting the broader IoT ecosystem. It integrates advanced analytics, offering businesses valuable insights into device and network performance, which can drive informed decision-making. These tools not only reduce costs but also improve the efficiency of IoT infrastructures, allowing businesses to focus on innovation.

In the webinar, we also discussed the benefits of device management, focusing on interoperability testing and the integration of IoT application enablement and cloud platforms. Friendly Technologies’ One-IoT™ Device Management solution was highlighted as a carrier-grade platform designed to manage a wide variety of IoT devices. Supporting multiple protocols such as LwM2M, OMA-DM, and TR-069, it allows businesses to oversee millions of devices on a single, scalable platform, making it a top choice for efficient and reliable device management​​.
