Life Cycle Full of Challenges

Different phases of the product development and installation process require specialized tools and services

It is extremely difficult to develop, deploy, and manage scalable, secure IoT systems all the way to the wireless device…

13

First CONNECT the end-devices in the edge network to each other & edge gateways. This is where the customer makes their technology decision.

Connect

Distributed Intelligence

15

The next step is to DEVELOP the intended application on top of the connected infrastructure. This gives purpose to each thing by distributing the intelligence across the edge network

Develop

16

Once the application is complete, specialty tools are required to DEPLOY the solution into the final environment (at scale and without the need for experts at every step).

Deploy

17

The final piece is to MANAGE the devices and their associated networks. This includes updating software remotely to provide the latest in security and functional improvements

Manage

“Thing” Services

Things Services are pre-built configurable software services added to the gateway that address common patterns developers once had to create themselves.

19

Thing Services Details

Blend configurable network with custom distributed event-

driven business logic

Configurable via GUIs or APIs

Uses standard interfaces

20

Data Collector – Thing Service

Configurable & automated collection

& presentation of polled or async data from remote SNAP

devices

Optional “Actuation” where devices receive commands to execute

21

Site Doctor - Thing Service

Diagnostic views into network health

Quickly identify complex network issues such as stranded nodes, single points of failure, and low signal strength via GUI or REST API.

22

Site Director – Thing Service

Node-level software management

Ensure remote device are secure & up-to-date by managing firmware

and user application scripts

23

Cloud Flexibility

Synapse has integrated with a growing list of cloud platforms and providers:

Your customers can find a number of easy-to-implement examples online…
