IoT deployments can mean many things to differing business sectors. At Aeris, we try to make the entire IoT deployment and maintenance process as simple and cost-effective as possible. Staying ahead of the curve, we provide multi-carrier, multi-technology solutions. That means regardless of your chosen carrier, and regardless of the underlying technology, Aeris solutions can connect and provide numerous advantages.
The Aeris Connectivity Platform (ACP) is purpose-built to provide a better global IoT solution across multiple carriers and multiple technologies. ACP reduces operational complexities while improving coverage and cost optimization by moving deployments away from connectivity silos to multi-channel implementations. And it does so by using a single dashboard for all carriers, technologies, and deployments.
The Aeris Mobility Platform (AMP) is an end-to-end IoT technology stack from infrastructure to application that is modular down to the component level. Every micro-service in AMP includes a well-defined API, such that companies can leverage the entire stack, or pick and choose just the components they want, and then integrate them into existing or third-party systems.
The Aeris Connectivity Platform (ACP) provides complete control over an IoT program’s entire device lifecycle. Provision, activate, troubleshoot and bill devices with speed and confidence.
ACP is a single platform to seamlessly manage deployments across multiple carrier networks and multiple technologies. This allows customers to reduce operational complexities and shorten time-to-market by up to 50% for launching next-gen products and global expansion.
Aeris global connectivity gives you better reliability, performance, visibility, and control. Choose the connectivity option that works best for your company’s specific business needs.

The Aeris Mobility Platform (AMP) is a modular software platform offering technical and functional building blocks for IoT solutions related to motorized moving things, such as cars, trucks, and motorcycles.
AMP is modular down to the component level. Every micro-service in AMP includes a well-defined API so that OEMs can leverage the entire stack, or “pick and choose” just the components they want, and then integrate them into existing or third-party systems. AMP consists of the following:
The Services Platform provides tools to create and centrally administer connected services and deliver those services to the right devices, to the right users, at the right time.
It includes a robust library of pre-built Business Services related to things that move and have a motor; a Services Factory to create or enable new services; a Product Catalog to package those services into a wide variety of products (for regions, brands, models, etc.); Lifecycle Management to correctly deliver services across the entire user and device lifecycles (including vehicle/thing registration, customer enrollment, mobile device pairing, transfer of ownership, TCU swap, etc.); Billing, Payments, and Taxation services; User Relationship Management (URM); as well as campaign management capabilities to remotely update device software over-the-air.
The Device Platform connects and controls information flow between each device and all other endpoints in your system.
Architecturally separated from the Services Platform, the Device Platform automates device configuration as services evolve, improving operational efficiency and enabling advanced business models where users can carry seamlessly connected services from machine to machine. It includes a smart edge client that enables maximum service flexibility while reducing both connectivity and cloud computing costs.
Infrastructure Services provide the tools and analytics to help OEMs manage and monitor their entire system — from infrastructure to applications — at any scale. Infrastructure Services integrate advanced tools, including a container deployment orchestrator, rules-based anomaly detection, trend analysis, and a full audit trail to detect security threats.

Aeris understands that there must be an entire company backing up the promise of a better solution. To that end, we highlight three critical elements that differentiate Aeris solutions from the marketplace.
Services
Providing exceptional solutions starts with the ability to provide superior creation velocity while delivering product flexibility. Micro-services architecture enables plug-and play agility with the fastest time to market. The modular design enables easy customization. Or, if ready to go, then our off-the shelf solutions provide a ready-to-launch service.
Operations
The Aeris solution has a scalable and flexible global architecture providing regional autonomy (think regional rules, currency, compliance) to deployments. Aeris’ container-based architecture enables seamless migration, expansion, and risk mitigation. It was designed to enable the rapid deployment, modification, or removal of applications while maintaining security and overall functionality.
A company can enamor itself to customers by providing a world-class business experience. This is initiated with best-in-class service responsiveness. Add to this a rules-based policy with smart data compression to optimize performance and cost. Then add native network-level data segregation for improved security and the end experience becomes an easy-to-deploy and easy-to-maintain IoT business solution.
Aeris simplifies the complexity of your IoT deployments and enables you to stay ahead of the competition. Our goal is to provide cost-effective, flexible, high-capacity, and low-complexity cellular solutions for IoT communications. We will work closely with your IT team to identify the type of network that best fits your needs, as well as identifying the specific technologies needed for your project.
