Qualcomm has announced a new provisioning platform to support “zero touch” deployment and management of edge devices at scale. The wireless edge services platform supports plug-and-play onboarding, on-demand, over-the-air feature activation, emergency and routine upgrades as well as third party service enablement throughout the device life-cycle, Qualcomm says.
That will be valuable if the number of internet of things devices reaches levels now predicted, possibly 30 billion to 50 billion devices by 2020.
The provisioning platform initially will be offered on Qualcomm’s MDM9206 LTE Modem for Industrial IoT products, MDM9628 LTE Modem for Automotive products and QCA4020 for Home IoT products, available in the second half of 2018.
Qualcomm wireless edge services is designed to assist large enterprise, industrial cloud providers and users in provisioning and managing massive amounts of connected 4G and 5G devices.
The platform also is engineered to support a new Chipsets as a Service (CaaS) business model.
Qualcomm wireless edge services software is expected to be exposed through new APIs and available on select Qualcomm Technologies’ chipsets, initially the MDM9206, MDM9628 and QCA4020. The feature will be added later on some Qualcomm Snapdragon platforms as well.
