New Boundary Technologies – Octave makes the cost of cellular connectivity very, very predictable

New Boundary Technologies provides IoT cloud applications for equipment manufacturers, distributors and system integrators in water and energy, oil and gas, environmental monitoring, agriculture, and smart equipment and industrial processes.

We began working with Sierra Wireless back in February. We chose to start working with them because of Octave and how it’s going make connecting devices from the edge to the internet so much easier than is typical today. Companies don’t typically have the technical expertise to be able to get the programming done on edge devices to get information to the internet. Octave made collecting the data from the devices very easy in our lab when we hooked up a number sensors, getting the information up to the internet was just two hours. A key part of Octave is being able to reduce what the cost of development is in IoT products it will be a hundred thousand to quarter of a million dollars or Euros. With Octave on the off-the-shelf devices, when you can do it in a day the cost is negligible. The other key part that Octave is providing is the connectivity plans across carriers around the world at a predictable cost. So with a cost per message structure that makes the cost of what the cellular connectivity is very predictable.   

We’re very excited with Octave to recommend to our customers to be able to remove that pain point that we know they experience.
