AT&T announces partnership with Elemental Machines

Elemental Machines wants to bring the internet of things to the world of scientific research. The company’s sensors monitor critical laboratory and production equipment, as well as invisible environmental variables. The goal is to save customers time and money by synthesizing lab equipment performance into actionable intelligence. The solution uses AT&T’s IoT management platform software and the carrier’s global SIM to monitor assets both on site and remotely. On site Wi-Fi can be used to connect sensors to the network, but if the Wi-Fi connection or power goes down, the cellular network will keep sending data.
