Xiamen, China, and Paris, France, September 7th, 2022 - Milesight, the fast-growing AIoT solution provider, and Actility, the world leader in IoT connectivity solutions, announce a strategic partnership in order to facilitate deployment of IoT use cases for indoor air quality (IAQ), smart buildings, smart offices, smart cities, smart agriculture, and many other verticals. The Partners agreed on technical and business cooperation as well as mutual promotion of the integrated Milesight LoRaWAN® Gateway and Actility’s ThingPark IoT platform.
As customers often struggle to select the right technology to deploy their IoT projects, Actility’s goal is to provide the most adapted options for operating their LoRaWAN® networks, while reducing hassle and costs related to integration. Along with Milesight, Actility is enhancing clients’ ability to provide consistent network coverage around the world.
IoT gateways use LoRaWAN® to connect smart devices to the cloud for data processing and management. Now as part of Actility’s portfolio, Milesight LoRaWAN® Gateways allow seamless connection to Actility’s ThingPark® LoRaWAN® network servers. Data collected from LoRa® field sensors is backhauled over secured links into many of the major cloud IoT platforms connected to Actility’s ThingPark, such as Microsoft Azure, AWS IoT Core, PTC Thingworx, and others.
