White-Label IoT Cloud

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of physical objects, devices, vehicles, buildings and other items embedded with electronics, software, sensors, and network connectivity, which enable these objects to collect and exchange data (Wikipedia).

Mobile providers are developing diverse IoT projects and services to revolutionize many aspects of daily life and to generate new revenue streams. Funambol's comprehensive IoT strategy includes integration with operator-branded IoT devices optimized for local markets

Support for IoT is a natural extension

At its core, Funambol's Unified Cloud Platform, collects and protects user digital content including photos, videos, music, and documents from various sources and allows users to consume, enrich, and share this content in new innovative ways regardless of the device that they're using.
Support for IoT is a natural extension of this core function by allowing users to go beyond smartphones, tablets, and computers and interact with the cloud through many additional touch points, and by automating various functions that are intrinsic to IoT. Amongst the universe of IoT devices present on the market today, the following stand out in delivering the highest value in the personal cloud space:
  • Voice-activate digital assistants e.g. Amazon Alexa, Google Home, operator-provided devices
  • Entertainment devices such as Smart TVs, Set-top boxes, and game consoles
  • Security cameras for home monitoring, visitor identification and intrusion detection
  • Smart home appliances and devices such as smart fridge and video door bells

Facilitated integration

While providing out-of-the-box support for popular consumer IoT technologies (e.g. Alexa, Chromecast, etc.), Funambol's comprehensive IoT strategy includes integration with operator-branded IoT devices optimized for local markets, such as voice-controlled digital assistants, TV set-top boxes, and security cameras.

Automated functions

Funambol's Unified Cloud Platform automates common functions of IoT projects, including wireless data sync, digital content organization and search, user authentication, provisioning & billing, security and analytics. It eliminates the need to develop these functions from scratch, freeing up teams to focus on value-added capabilities rather than recreating the IoT infrastructure wheel.
