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.

Ordr, the leader in connected device security, today announced it has joined the ServiceNow® Service Graph Connector Program by integrating its ServiceNow Connector for Ordr with Service Graph, helping customers to quickly, easily, and reliably load third-party data into the system, enabling data quality, timeliness and scalability.
Connectors validated by ServiceNow's Service Graph Connector Program integrate the expertise of the ServiceNow partner ecosystem into Service Graph.
"The Service Graph Connector for Ordr enables tighter integration between two essential solutions that multiple teams and tools depend on to manage and secure connected device deployments," said Jim Brady, Vice President, Cybersecurity & Risk Management and CISO at Fairview Health Services. "With this new integration, security and HTM teams can operate with high confidence that the asset data they are working with is accurate and complete, so they can operate efficiently, react quickly, and more effectively manage risk at the hospital."
"The ServiceNow CMDB is a critical component in our connected device strategy," said Shawn Fletcher, Sr. Enterprise Architect, Cybersecurity and Digital Solutions, St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton. "ServiceNow integration with Ordr lets us leverage Ordr's automatic asset discovery and rich device insights to streamline our asset inventory efforts. This has a direct impact on the ability to manage and secure our devices at scale and support the hospital's goals to deliver outstanding patient care and innovative treatments."
"Asset inventory is often step one and is at the core of so much that we do with our customers. Without an accurate inventory, helping our customers meet their goals can be challenging, especially when it comes to security," said Matt Leclair, CEO, Advanced Cybersecurity Experts LLC. "The ServiceNow Connector for Ordr will help us accelerate that first step of achieving accuracy in the ServiceNow CMDB, so we can deliver value faster and ultimately help put them on a path to improve how they manage and reduce risk for their connected devices."
ServiceNow Service Graph, the next-generation system of record for digital products and services, evolves the ServiceNow Configuration Management Database (CMDB) beyond inventory and asset management. By using ServiceNow Service Graph, IT organizations are empowered with a broad and deep data foundation for managing the entire lifecycle of digital products and services. Service Graph underpins all ServiceNow products, allowing customers to tie together technology, people, and processes into a service-oriented view. This connected approach enables customers to leverage their existing CMDB investment to rationalize portfolios, automate development and cloud operations, manage risk, and understand ROI, driving high-value business outcomes.
"ServiceNow is leading the future of work by creating great experiences for businesses," said Brian Emerson, VP & GM, IT Operations Management Business at ServiceNow. "We are pleased to have Ordr integrate its ServiceNow Connector for Ordr to help further enhance satisfaction, build trust, accelerate time to value, and reduce risk for our joint customers."
"Maintaining a comprehensive and accurate asset inventory is critical for all organizations. This can be a challenge in environments with a large number of unmanaged devices like IoT, IoMT, and OT," said Gnanaprakasam Pandian, Chief Product Officer and Co-Founder of Ordr. "Organizations depend on a comprehensive and accurate view of their environment for everything from device management, incident response, and risk reduction efforts to meeting stringent requirements for compliance and cyber insurance. We're proud to offer the Service Graph Connector for Ordr to help customers achieve the comprehensive and accurate asset inventory they need to simplify workflows, improve security, and accelerate incident response."
