• Multiple business relevant tasks are
addressed and technically consolidated
• Data delivery using a common protocol
effectively decoupling data providers
and data consumers
• IT centric application development to
implement business logic in smart edge
devices / service gateways
• More efficient bandwidth utilization –
carrier cost optimization
• Of the shelf purpose built devices
designed to meet vertical market value
