Poland-based IoT device management firm AVSystem has announced the integration of its Coiote IoT DM device management service with Microsoft Azure IoT Hub and AWS IoT Core via Lightweight M2M (LwM2M).

Coiote is an IoT device management platform that provides support for constrained IoT devices at scale for both cloud providers.

The integrations enable direct connection of resource-constrained IoT devices to Azure and AWS cloud platforms for data readings, telemetry and key device management operations. This opens opportunities for creating IoT services over low-power wide area network (LPWAN) within Azure and AWS. By combining device energy savings and lower data consumption with existing cloud services, enterprises can reduce time to market and decrease costs for deploying IoT and managing its operations.

“Seamless integration with leading cloud providers plays an increasingly important role in empowering digitised business models,” said Slawomir Wolf, CEO at AVSystem. “By being the first platform to offer integration with both Azure IoT Hub and AWS IoT Core via the LwM2M standard in version 1.1, AVSystem is allowing companies to build their applications and services with an industry standard better suited for constrained devices than the MQTT or HTTP protocols.”

Used by the likes of AT&T and Bell Canada, Coiote IoT DM is an IoT device management platform available globally for any enterprise that needs to manage its population of IoT devices. Secure device onboarding, complete device lifecycle management and firmware over-the-air (FOTA) updates are supported and natively integrated with Azure IoT Hub, Azure IoT Central and AWS IoT Core. The platform also provides users with a low or no-code environment, which speeds up deployment of IoT services.

LPWAN devices are ramping up in different sectors using LPWAN connectivity such as cellular IoT networks, NB-IoT or LTE Cat-M1, which are designed for battery-operated, resource-constrained devices. As the cost of cellular IoT connectivity might be a hindrance in some verticals, AVSystem helps enterprises overcome such limitations by providing a scalable and efficient device management service.

Thanks to its standards-based approach, Coiote IoT DM can manage any off-the-shelf hardware. In addition, it lets manufacturers remotely and seamlessly issue FOTA upgrades to keep their devices secure, add features or fix bugs. With support of more than 1000 cellular modules, development kits and IoT devices, AVSystem is creating an ecosystem of hardware makers to shorten the time needed to build, deploy and maintain any fleet of IoT devices.

AVSystem is a vendor of IoT and device management software and has been on the market since 2006. Its mission is to help enterprises create and manage ecosystems of connected devices. It offers platforms for device and network management, IoT application enablement, wifi marketing, and indoor location, as well as embedded tools.
