Unified IoT Networks for the Retail Enterprise

Edge Connect enables IT-managed device connectivity that runs on existing network infrastructure

Why Do Retailers Need a Unified IoT Network?

Single-purpose IoT “shadow networks” add cost, create data silos and increase network vulnerability

Dedicated gateways for each use case results in …


	Reduced ROI with multiple cloud SaaS fees
	Overlapping network deployments
	Security gaps & inconsistent data
	Increased installation costs & management

Solution:

A shared sensor network that utilizes existing IT network infrastructure


	Eliminates single-purpose gateways
	Faster onboarding for new sensor types
	Unified sensor network health monitoring
	Custom apps and standard cloud integrations
