Digital technologies will help cities save money, reduce consumption,
earn new revenue, and stimulate new jobs
BRIDGEWATER, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 22, 2018--
Synchronoss Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ:SNCR), a global leader and
innovator of cloud, messaging, digital, and IoT products, today
announced that it has joined the AT&T Smart Cities Strategic Alliance to
help transform cities around the world. Its digital and IoT product
portfolio and expertise will be leveraged by some of the mobile
industry’s biggest names to create productive IoT use cases and clear,
tangible business outcomes for global smart cities.
As part of the AT&T Smart Cities Alliance, Synchronoss will orchestrate
its digital, messaging, cloud, and IoT technologies to innovate across
the vertical segments of a Smart City. By working with K2View, and
leveraging its real-time analytics Fabric platform, Synchronoss will
integrate disparate databases, providing notifications and alerts to
synchronize information across vertical segments. Synchronoss helps
cities enhance the operations of managing their digital nodes and data.
Through the automation orchestration of digital touch points, to cloud
storage and smart messaging, Synchronoss will help cities save money,
reduce consumption, earn new revenue, and stimulate new jobs:
- Synchronoss Digital powers the activation of IoT devices and
the automation of data analysis, workflows, and fulfilment. These
functions will be delivered by the Synchronoss Digital platform which
will ensure that devices are able to be connected and work together
effectively and efficiently.
- Synchronoss Messaging is a smart, automated dialogue interface
that lets people converse with devices, nodes, and partners to better
manage the operation of IoT use cases. This includes the use of Bot
messaging and AI driven notifications and alerts.
- Synchronoss Cloud provides a secure, single point data storage
to allow IoT systems to access data securely and in real-time. The
importance of secure cloud storage is evident in many current IoT and
smart city use cases; for example, the data gathered by drones needs
to be stored in a secure cloud that is accessible in real-time
according to pre-defined permissions.
“We’re delighted that Synchronoss will be joining our Smart Cities
Alliance,” said Mike Zeto, General Manager, AT&T Smart Cities. “As a
prominent early pioneer of IoT within AT&T prior to joining Synchronoss,
we’re pleased that Glenn, and his colleagues, recognize the value in
being part of our industry collaboration and driving the development of
smart cities.”
“Momentum for commercial IoT deployments continues to build, creating
exciting applications and use cases for smart cities,” said Glenn Lurie,
CEO at Synchronoss. “Our technologies and platforms are set to play a
major role in managing the interaction of devices, digital nodes, and
data in complex IoT environments. We help companies use IoT technology
to add to their bottom line, optimize consumption, streamline
operations, and open up lucrative new revenue streams. We’re therefore
excited to be joining an important industry Alliance for the creation
and promotion of next-generation smart cities and IoT services.”
The AT&T Smart Cities Alliance was formed in 2016 to support the launch
of AT&T’s smart city framework initiative. The framework, which aims to
enhance cities’ connectivity, is made up of several key industry players
including major network equipment vendors, IT service providers, chipset
manufacturers and prominent industry consultants.
