Enabling IOT
Information
Automatic and secure onboarding of your Wi-Fi-based IoT devices. Aptilo Zero-touch Wi-Fi IoT Connectivity™ opens up a mass market for IoT running on Wi-Fi networks.
The Aptilo Zero-touch Wi-Fi IoT Connectivity (Aptilo Zero-touch) service leverages Hotspot 2.0 and Passpoint, while also supporting legacy Wi-Fi equipment and devices.
Existing solutions require endless manual labor to onboard every device. And you must repeat this when, for instance, you change the Wi-Fi network’s security key.
With our connectivity service on Amazon Web Services (AWS), the device will just securely fly on to the Wi-Fi network when it is switched on for the first time, and continue to do so for every connection. We use device identities, in the form of x.509 certificates that already exist in IoT platforms such as AWS IoT Core, to verify the device. Through the integration with the IoT platform, we can also verify if the device is active and collect input to form connectivity policies. The enterprise remains in control, but the service is seamless and secure. Security is granted through EAP-TLS authentication with the Wi-Fi network encrypted over the air using 802.1x.
Aptilo Zero-touch is all standards-based, no software is required in the device. All device manufacturers need to do, is to make sure that their devices tries to connect to the ZeroTouch SSID or Hotspot 2.0 service.
