Connected
Devices
Cloud
Intelligence
(AI, Big data)

10. But … devices don’t live inside
the cloud. They’re out in the wild.
How can we connect devices securely
to the cloud?

11. SORACOM’s answer:
2G/3G/LTE/++ Core Network
implemented on the Cloud
Already encrypted channel on
top of secure cloud technology

12. InternetDevices Base Stations

13. SORACOM provides all the benefits of the cloud.
But also…
Scalability
High Durability
Security
Controllability Pay-as-you-go
No long term contract

14. SORACOM enables customers to become
a network operator.

15. Simple to Use APIs
Build private network dedicated for your
devices and your servers.
Change data collection endpoint from one
server to another w/o touching devices.
Connect/Disconnect remote device.
And more…

18. IoT in Action

19. No Wi-Fi Available
Safecast: Geiger counter for Fukushima Tokachi Bus: Real time Bus locator
This device gave insights into
where exactly the city Gov
shouldevacuate people to.
Reducedthe amount of time
people neededtowait at the
outdoor bus stops ina very
cold place in northernpart of
Japan.

20. Unreliable or insecure Wi-Fi
Photosynth: Smart Locks FullTime System: Smart Delivery Locker
Can complement home Wi-Fi that can sometimes
be unstable and give stable connectivity to make
sure the device is always available
Does not want to
connect to customer’s
network, in tis case
the building’s
community Wi-Fi

21. Edge Computing + Cloud AI/Analytics
Time
Parco: AI instore camera and
analytics on Cloud
Preferred Networks: Edge AI and
Cloud intelligence
Streaming the entire video data is costly and often times
you do not need the entire video data. Doing the basic
inference on the device and only sending the meta data is
a good practice for AI use case.
The camera as a basic inference capability to capture
gender, age group and their face either being happy or
not. Only the results are uploaded for further analytics.

22. SDK/Cloud API on the Device?

23. Dydo Smart Vending Machine
With the network of 280,000 vending
machines throughout Japan, DyDo DRINCO,
Inc. offers exceptionally convenient retail
experience.
Each "Smile STAND" vending machine is
equipped with a Soracom SIM for cellular
connectivity. And through SORACOM Funnel
cloud adapter service, the vending machines
send data directly to AWS cloud. This does not
require DyDo to place an individual certificate
or SDK on each device to send data to cloud.
