For enterprises that have or are looking to deploy IoT devices with connectivity on a larger scale, the current solutions on the market have not been working in an optimal way. They are often faced with proprietary solutions, having to administer multiple operators and platforms for different regions, including local operators for certain countries with regulatory requirements. tele2 iot

They’ve also faced difficulties in finding cost-efficient solutions for mid and high data use-cases on a global level.

EnCore has been developed to support the growing number of solutions that digitalization and the shift toward servitization require and generate. It gives enterprises an efficient way of deploying and operating their devices. It is a solution to the latency issues, the regulatory compliance situation and the high data cost structure that many customers today are challenged by.

EnCore is composed of a cloud-based IoT Core network that is deployed as a service in the regions and countries required. It has a platform to manage and operate an enterprise’s total IoT deployment. Based on the Nokia WING platform, it also acts as a platform for mobile network operators to cooperate, in order to offer enterprises all the benefits of a local deployment in a global setup.

“As the orchestrator of a smarter world, we aim to launch services that make IoT adoption easier and more efficient and that will improve the customer’s daily business”, says Melissa Jenkins, CTO of Tele2 IoT. “We identified the need for EnCore several years ago and very proud of launching it today”.

“While our other offerings are very suitable for both smaller and larger rollouts, this is an infrastructure service, an IoT as-a-service offering, that will benefit companies with large global deployments or with high data usage and specific quality of service requirements. Our strategy to develop open, enduring, and innovative products continues, and EnCore is really a new paradigm in the world of IoT.” tele2 iot
