In today’s digital economy, It is more important to be very accurate about measuring service quality. Especially for enterprises, they will likely require increasingly strict performance for real-time and ultra-reliable applications.

 

Developing and assurance to meet new quality in service requirements are critical to leadership in the IoT era. The accuracy of measuring service quality is of greater importance than ever before. Monitoring requires highly granular and proactive measurements to detect problems as they arise and before they will affect customer service.

 

Software and Automation are essential for driving customer satisfaction and simplifying operations. Service operations need to be able to identify, understand, eliminate and resolve the issues before they impact your service and customer experience.

 

Ericsson IoT Accelerator enables enterprises to easily deploy, manage and scale their global IoT business from a unified IoT platform. In order to achieve more together. M5 working together with Ericsson on an application, offering active assurance and works by measuring end-to-end service quality through reading data from embedded sensors and showing them on a dashboard, managing connectivity on a subscription and network-level through IoT Accelerator APIs.

Whether you have an established modern service assurance framework or not. Learn more about how to use proactive assurance to optimize cost predictability and increase service security that enable a proactive, service-centric operating model.

Automated Covid-19 prevention station at libraries

This project aims to combat COVID-19. The team aim to install a station in libraries. Visitors would have to pass through it before proceeding. The station would have the ability to control crowd, sanitize visitors, and display number of current visitors. This device is fully automated, where the number of people in the library would be controlled without the need of human interference. By limiting number of people and sanitizing them, the risk of COVID-19 transmission would drastically reduce.
