Eseye | January 25, 2023
On January 24, 2023, Eseye, a leader in cutting-edge cellular IoT connectivity solutions, announced the launch of its groundbreaking AnyNet SMARTconnect™ software solution for on-device connectivity. The new solution directly embeds intelligent, global IoT connectivity into any device, allowing businesses to bring products to market faster and concentrate on providing value to their consumers.
Furthermore, AnyNet SMARTconnect™ improves resiliency by keeping devices linked and optimized now and in the future. This enables IoT initiatives to scale without the need to hire expensive, hard-to-find connectivity or firmware engineers. AnyNet SMARTconnectTM, which will be on display at the IoT Solutions World Congress in Barcelona beginning January 31, is already in use by some of Eseye's commercial customers.
AnyNet SMARTconnect™, supplied as an independent plug-in software module, codifies Eseye's decades of connectivity expertise into a robust and flexible device software that customers and partners can easily integrate into their IoT or connected device. This ensures "right-first-time" delivery and enables device design flexibility to help future-proof the solution as it navigates present and future supply chain challenges.
It facilitates greater deployments by allowing for a single SKU, including initial bootstrapping and provisioning. In addition, AnyNet SMARTconnect™ enables businesses to bypass software development and embed plug-and-play connectivity intelligence right into their products. This can fasten product launches by up to 9 months, significantly lowering expenses and allowing them to focus on the applications and data that provide value to their clients.
AnyNet SMARTconnect™ utilizes Eseye's AnyNet Federation, a global mobile network alliance spanning 190 countries that provides access to over 700 global networks with more localization options than any other provider, as well as its award-winning Infinity IoT Connectivity Management Platform™.
It includes a set of higher-layer communication protocol extensions such as CoAP, MQTT, and Lightweight Machine to Machine (LWM2M) that benefit from understanding and responding to network state. For example, before performing a Firmware Over the Air (FOTA) update, the LWM2M may wait for higher, more cost-effective bandwidth and increased signal strength.

TOTO | January 20, 2023
The largest plumbing company in the world, TOTO, has announced that it will work with MachineQ, a Comcast Company, to make it easier to install its Internet of Things (IoT) smart bathroom products in high-traffic public restrooms across the U.S. TOTO's partnership with MachineQ will enable the company to expand the installation of its innovative smart restroom products, such as automatic hand-dryers and soap dispensers, into areas that were previously difficult to access due to a lack of resources.
The partnership will allow TOTO's smart restroom products to better solve real-world business issues for facility managers, such as reducing audits, decreasing downtime, increasing employee efficiency, and increasing consumer satisfaction with their public restroom experience. Through this collaboration, TOTO and MachineQ will be able to increase the number of smart restroom product installations in public restrooms across the United States.
Hidemi Ishikawa, CEO of TOTO USA, said, "Utilizing MachineQ's fully integrated device-to-cloud platform enables TOTO to further increase the value our IoT smart restroom products provide to facility managers." He added, "With MachineQ's LoRaWAN® network, which interoperates easily with other networks, TOTO's IoT-enabled products easily integrate with facilities' smart restroom monitoring systems or building automation systems across the U.S." (Source – CISION PR Newswire)
The partnership will also let TOTO connect its Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled products to intelligent restroom monitoring systems in buildings or build automation systems across the U.S. This will let facility managers keep an eye on and manage restrooms in real time. This will give them the ability to plan ahead for problems, deal with them quickly and effectively, and keep a high level of cleanliness all the time.
