Providing a Global IoT Connectivity Solution | OptConnect's Chris Baird | Internet of Things Podcast

IoT For All Podcast · 2 Oct 2024 · 24m · Episode 360

What this episode covers

Chris Baird, President and CEO of OptConnect, explains how the company provides a fully managed global IoT connectivity solution for unattended devices in industries like security, ATMs, and medical devices. He details OptConnect's strategy of acquiring niche firms in Europe and Latin America to navigate complex regional regulations and spectrum management, rather than relying on a single centralized hub. Baird highlights the value of managed services by contrasting them with the 'unknown unknowns' of DIY IoT, citing their ability to maintain inventory during supply chain crises and resolve outages via proprietary hardware that switches carriers autonomously.

    428: Sprinkling a Little IoT

    Jonathan Beri, CEO of Golioth, categorizes the complex IoT landscape into five distinct 'clouds': device, connectivity, data, application, and development. He argues that hardware companies should start with their chip and OS choice to leverage vendor support, rather than building proprietary infrastructure or locking themselves into a single cloud provider like AWS. Beri highlights the importance of using open standards and modular design to avoid vendor lock-in and reduce the burden of device management, OTA updates, and telemetry.

    Why IoT Is Difficult with Jonathan Beri

    Jonathan Beri, founder of Golioth, discusses the immense difficulty of building end-to-end IoT solutions, drawing on his experience at Nest, Google, Particle, and WeWork. He explains that IoT is a 'system of systems' requiring expertise in embedded firmware, RF, cloud infrastructure, and security, creating a significant 'impedance mismatch' for software companies trying to enter hardware. Beri highlights specific technical challenges such as cellular network instability, legacy hardware integration at scale, and the trade-offs between using vertically integrated platforms like Particle versus building custom solutions with protocols like CoAP and OpenThread.
