Telit has announced the establishment of its new partnership with Florida Atlantic University. Under the new agreement, Telit grants FAU’s Institute for Sensing and Embedded Network Systems Engineering (I-SENSE) technical support, training and an unlimited license to the deviceWISE IoT Platform which is aimed at accelerating breakthrough research projects and technology solutions for the Internet of Things. deviceWISE has already been integrated into several I-SENSE projects, with more on the horizon. With the deviceWISE foundation, I-SENSE researchers will lend their expertise to several of Telit’s upcoming initiatives.
I-SENSE was established to coordinate FAU's activities in the Sensing and Smart Systems pillar of its Strategic Plan for the Race to Excellence. The institute serves as a technology clearinghouse for sensing, communication, and data management technologies, providing relevant expertise and engineering support. Equally important, it serves as an interdisciplinary hub, cultivating research, education, and service initiatives that cut across disciplines, academia, and industry.
The Cloud-based Telit deviceWISE IoT Platform is an end-to-end solution that makes it easy to connect and manage “things-to-apps” – seamlessly integrating remote sensors, devices, and production assets with web-based, mobile apps, and enterprise systems, across any wireless network. The comprehensive platform is supported by extensive developer resources and a thriving ecosystem. deviceWISE allows students and makers to rapidly create IoT prototypes, while offering the flexibility necessary to scale to robust research initiatives.
Telit has been engaged in comprehensive and rewarding relationships with a number of prominent universities and educational institutions for many years. Through a combination of internships, special project grants, memberships in their respective research centers, and sponsored studies, the company gains exposure to relevant leading-edge academic research and tomorrow’s top engineering talent. In 2010, Telit, then known as ILS Technology, collaborated with FAU on the “Living Learning Laboratory” in the newly constructed Platinum-Level LEED-Certified Engineering building. The following year, ILS became a technology partner of FAU’s Center for Advanced Knowledge Enablement (CAKE).
