Orange said it is the first operator in Belgium to launch end-to-end mobile IoT services after rolling out Orange's Mobile IoT (Narrow Band IoT and LTE-M) network last year.
Orange Belgium presents a new Rapid Development Kit and IoT Application Enabler, 'Orange Maker' - designed to provide a complete end-to-end service for companies wishing to develop and deploy IoT solutions in an intelligent and secure way.
The Rapid Development Kit includes 6 month free use of the Orange IoT network, an microcontroller, a radio module with an Orange SIM card and plug n' play sensors (that can measure temperature, air quality, geographical position.). After 6 months customers can opt for a prepaid or postpaid 'Connected Things' offer to maintain the connection via Orange's mobile IoT- technologies.
The newly launched 'Orange Maker' IoT Application Enabler makes it possible to simply connect hardware to the Orange IoT network. The 'Orange Maker' organises the access to the connected devices and the collected data, adds automation rules using a wizard to let those connected devices interoperate with other devices and applications through a portal, as well as SIM management and support.
Ingrid Gonnissen, Chief Business Officer, Orange Belgium
Our business customers were delighted to hear we offer Mobile IoT on the entire Belgian territory. Many of them prefer Orange as their connectivity partner, but together with our experts, we now made it possible to develop smart solutions together. With the end-to-end services we launch today, we can help them develop their own IoT solutions further and faster.
