- This sample is part of the IKERLAN KONNEKT personalisation solutions family, which accumulates the knowledge of the centre in the digitalisation of industrial products and services.
- The solution developed in collaboration with Amazon and Telefónica allows the smart card (SIM) to act as a key for the mass distribution of certificates, in order to provide security to the cloud a simplified connection to the cloud.
The general director of IK4-IKERLAN, Marcelino Caballero, and the director of Technologies of Electronics, Information and Communication, Ion Etxeberria, have attended the most relevant European trade fair for the industrial sector, Hannover Messe, to present with Amazon and Telefónica a solution that allows connecting massive numbers of IoT devices to Amazon Web through secure cellular connections. This solution is part of the IKERLAN KONNEKT personalisation solutions family, which accumulates the knowledge of the centre in the digitalisation of industrial products and services.
The development, carried out in collaboration with Telefónica and Amazon Web Services, allows the cybersecure connection of the Internet of Things (IoT) devices to Amazon Web Services IoT (AWS IoT). This solution simplifies the management of IoT devices safety connection to the cloud, and allows remote distribution of great scale credentials, facilitating and protecting IoT devices cloud connectivity.
The sample, which has been installed in the fair of the German city and can be visited in Hall 6, stand D46 between April 23 and 27, shows this development applied to a use case associated with the smart city. The connectivity solution developed by IK4-IKERLAN allows the monitoring of power consumption using a ZIV smart meter, IK4-IKERLAN client, and a smart modem allowing cyber security cloud connectivity.
