The Internet of Things is a concept that’s hovered over the public’s consciousness for some time now and there have been some meaningful developments in the industry pertaining to it. However, these developments are not good enough for cellular carriers like AT&T, which is why the company is releasing an IoT Startup kit to help make the advancements in the industry go faster. It’s also partnering with IBM for the same reason.
During Cisco Live, AT&T announced that they would be releasing a start kit that would help developers build their IoT applications much easier, Tech Republic reports. The announcement was made by AT&T senior vice president for IoT Chris Penrose on Tuesday.
"We are rolling out as of today the new AT&T Starter Kit, and what this has in it is everything you need to go from the edge to the cloud," Penrose said.
The kit supposedly provides developers with a plug-and-play model for their IoT applications so that they wouldn’t have to start from scratch. The kit will cost $99 and will come with a few features such as a SIM card that works in as many as 200 countries and an LTE modem.
Not content with the starter kit, AT&T also partnered with IBM in order to increase the pace at which IoT is developing, according to PC World. The partnership will make use of the Watson and Bluemix analytics of IBM with the connectivity provided by AT&T in order to provide a better platform for the technology to base on.
Considering how complex IoT is, it was only natural the various companies would need to partner with each other in order to provide users with truly interconnected services. This means that the partnership between the two companies is only the beginning, and more deals will be signed in order to deal with issues relating to the cloud, APIs, coding tools and so on.
