Altron Digital Business has launched Friendly Technologies’ (FT) One IoT Device Management Platform, providing a unified IoT DM solution designed to help businesses deploy, manage, and scale Internet of Things (IoT) devices throughout the full lifecycle.

The platform serves as a centralised hub for handling various aspects of IoT management, including device provisioning, management, monitoring and connectivity as well as providing a data lake for business analytics and reporting.

Altron Digital Business first introduced Friendly Technologies to the South African market in 2019 as a CPE device management platform for Telkom ISP, and the experience proved to be positive. The platform has been tried and tested over the years in the telco/ISP market, and positive customer feedback on its use case was one of the reasons for selecting FT’s One IoT solution.

“We have received excellent support from FT, and they are always willing to walk the extra mile in supporting the local team,” explains Charles Adams, practice lead: smart industrial solutions at Altron Digital Business.

The solution has been deployed in several African countries and worldwide and implemented in over 300 customers. It is a multi-tenant, device-agnostic solution capable of managing millions of devices from a single platform, deployed either on-premise or in the cloud (private or public).

The Friendly Technologies One IoT DM Platform aims to simplify the complexities of IoT deployment and management, providing businesses with a powerful tool to leverage IoT for operational efficiency, innovation, and new business opportunities.
