Platform
Enabling the Internet of Things in Your Mobile World
By the end of 2014, there will be 16 billion Internet of Things (IoT)
devices, or slightly more than 2 devices for every human being on the
planet. Look ahead to 2020, and the number of connected devices is
forecast to be 50 billion.
This exponential increase in connected devices is producing a
deluge of mobile data traffic, management, and applications - all
leading to opportunity. You need an expanded, adaptable, and secure
infrastructure to win new business and stay competitive.
Harness the IoT Opportunity
Cisco® IoT Cloud Connect is a hosted managed cloud IoT platform
that manages and automates IoT service delivery for mobile network

The Cisco IoT Cloud Connect hosted offering is a holistic approach to
help you address IoT and machine-to-machine (M2M) go-to-market
needs. It combines the power of Cisco’s innovative packet core portfolio
and M2M services delivery platform with the technologies of Cisco’s IoT
ecosystem partners across the M2M value chain.

At the Center of the Solution: Cisco Virtualized Packet Core
As the industry’s most complete, fully virtualized packet core, the new
Cisco Virtualized Packet Core solution redefines agility for service
providers. Now capture untapped revenue opportunities, particularly with
the proliferation of Internet of Everything (IoE) and M2M connections.
The Cisco Virtualized Packet Core solution combines all packet core
services - for 4G, 3G, 2G, Wi-Fi, and small cell networks - into a single
solution. Because those services are virtualized, you can scale capacity
and introduce new services much more quickly and cost effectively.
The Cisco Virtualized Packet Core solution is based on the same proven
StarOS software used in the Cisco ASR 5000 Series platform, which
is deployed by more than 350 mobile operators globally. Designed to
distribute and manage packet core functions across physical and virtual
resources, the Cisco Virtualized Packet Core solution lets you easily
transition between resources, or use both simultaneously.
