Nube launches IoT-enabled consumer gas delivery
solution in Mexico, plans to expand into North America and leverage
solution for other smart city applications
Sierra Wireless (NASDAQ: SWIR) (TSX: SW), the leading provider
of fully integrated device-to-cloud solutions for the Internet of
Things (IoT), today announced that Nube has selected Sierra
Wireless’ device-to-cloud IoT solution and Microsoft Azure Cloud
Services to reinvent consumer gas delivery. Nube will launch its
home gas delivery solution in Mexico in Oct. 2017, and is expanding
further into North America [see video].
In Mexico, and many other regions, liquid petroleum gas used by
businesses and residences is commonly stored on building rooftops,
where meter reading is difficult. Consumers don’t know when their
tank will run out and gas companies can’t plan for deliveries or
supply needs. Nube set out to solve this problem, launching a
turnkey, end-to-end IoT solution that includes tank monitoring and
wireless data transmission to the cloud using Sierra Wireless’
device-to-cloud solution, as well as a management platform for gas
companies, and a mobile consumer app for consumers to order gas,
make payments, and manage their accounts, enabled by Microsoft
Azure Cloud Services.
“Sierra Wireless helped us go to market with confidence,
reducing risk in several ways, from rapid execution and delivery,
to reliable connectivity and easy expansion to Microsoft Azure
Cloud Services,” said Chris Gnanakone, Founder and CEO, Nube. “We
were impressed with Sierra Wireless’ AirVantage® IoT platform, and
having the hardware pre-integrated provided us with a significant
time-to-market advantage. Sierra Wireless has been a true partner
in helping us reinvent gas delivery. This successful deployment
allows us to expand our IoT Solution into North America and then
into other smart city applications.”
“Nube is leading disruptive change with its IoT solution, which
is designed around modules from Sierra Wireless that are integrated
with our connectivity services and AirVantage Cloud Platform,” said
Marc Overton, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Cloud and
Connectivity Solutions, Sierra Wireless. “When Nube needed to do
more with their data, we helped by building a Microsoft Azure
connector for AirVantage that allowed Nube to get a reading from a
gas tank to a mobile application in less than three seconds.”
Microsoft Azure is a comprehensive set of cloud services that
developers and IT professionals use to build, deploy, and manage
applications through Microsoft’s global network of datacenters.
Microsoft worked with Sierra Wireless and Nube to provide the
reliability, performance, elasticity and data visualization tools
to deliver a seamless transition from the sensor device to the
software application.
