20 Dec 2023 CW Team

By capitalising on Cientra's edge as a 5G platform portfolio and Invas' IoT capabilities, the two organisations will engage in a collaborative effort to develop solutions and go-to-market offers that bolster the security and identity of 5G networks. This will enable the expansion of potential applications of IoT systems, particularly in sectors such as agriculture and mining where edge computing and IoT solutions are in increasing demand. Businesses that adopt the IoT face obstacles pertaining to device registration on 5G networks in terms of security and identification. The organisations shall implement 5G security functionalities and 5G standard authentication to conduct real-time data insight monitoring and predictive maintenance, thereby overcoming these challenges and enhancing security.

?Our 5G business initiatives are being expedited in order to provide a robust portfolio of repeatable solutions that can be customised to satisfy the needs of our customers for such solutions. We wholeheartedly concur with our esteemed Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, that India possesses the capacity to actively participate in the advancement and integration of technologies, rather than merely consuming the same. At this moment, the digital revolution in India is at a critical turning point," said Anil Kempanna, CEO, Cientra.

?Our solution's service-based architecture (5G 3GPP) has the potential to transition to 6G and subsequent generations. We?re doubling down on Invas? IoT capabilities to take it one notch higher,? continued Anil. ?What we?re doing is, in pursuit of enhancing our customers' satisfaction and addressing the growing demand for organisations to equip or retrofit with the necessary connectivity and visibility to securely optimise daily business operations, we are leveraging the complete capabilities of Invas to mobilise our collective expertise and knowledge.?

Cientra, an Indian multi-national product solutions company and Invas, a market leader in telecom testing have announced a strategic alliance to develop innovative wireless sensors and actuators for sectors including mining and agriculture. The collaboration aims to seamlessly integrate and optimise the functionalities of Cientra's 5G platform with Invas' cutting-edge Internet of Things (IoT) devices. The principal aim of this initiative is to instigate a paradigm shift in the agricultural and mining industries of the country through the guarantee of optimal IoT device quality while upholding the security and integrity of the 5G network.
