Opengear will be demonstrating to an audience comprised of judges and businesses interested in understanding how to develop, integrate, and deploy IoT strategies.

Opengear’s solutions aid IoT deployments by providing always-available infrastructure, including intelligent devices designed for the network edge. Opengear ensures resilience through its Smart OOB™ out-of-band management of power supply, network, server and environmental conditions, as well as through Failover-to-Cellular™ technology that provides automatic failover to a 4G LTE or 3G cellular connection if a primary connection fails. Additionally, Opengear’s Lighthouse solution provides centralized management of all edge devices, and the platform features easy integration with enterprise systems via extensible APIs.

Opengear is also well-represented on the IoT Evolution Expo agenda, with Shirish Nilekar, Director of Product Management at Opengear, participating in a session on architectural ideology (part of the Expo’s Fog Computing Analytics and Data track).
