Efficient management of cellular subscribers in IOT projects.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Cisco Jasper to manage thousands of cellular SIMs used in IOT electronic equipment. With Cisco Jasper we manage the registration and cancellation of new users as well as the complete control of the data network. With the use of automatic rules we can change the status of a subscriber depending on, for example, the amount of data consumed in the period.

Pros

  • Manage the life states of a cellular SIM.
  • Automatic rules action.

Cons

  • Improve the user interface.
  • Smart search using wildcards.

Most Important Features

  • Efficient management of the GPRS data quota assigned to each subscriber.
  • Registration and cancellation of subscribers.
  • Alerts for excess data.

Return on Investment

  • With the automatic rules, for example when blocking a subscriber who is abusing his GPRS data quota, we have avoided unnecessary expenses.
  • Being a system that is accessed from the cloud allows us to manage our fleet of subscribers from any place and time, which was great in the confinements due to COVID 19.
  • Although we have not currently implemented it, Cisco Jasper does have an integration API that we will explore in the near future.

"Incredible solution for a great way to stay connected."

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

GUI interface is the best part of dealing with Cisco Jabber for both myself and other users at our organization. We required it to manage our department's resources because many people worked on various outlines. This application solved the issue. We replace every piece of equipment when it reaches the end of its useful life at our company. Control over one's devices is in the hands of the user. Using it, users can completely control their Internet connection, messages, and remote telephone services. It will allow us to connect with customers, one of the most important things you can do as a business owner or manager. The Cisco Jasper Control Center gives us the ability to troubleshoot and manage IoT deployments quickly and effectively.

Pros

  • Different web interfaces and technologies, including the particle, are easy to use and connect for any user.
  • The data is analyzed easily through the interface, and servers in the data center allow us to respond quickly.

Cons

  • Occasionally, it takes a long time for things to load, but that is just a feature.
  • There are a few minor glitches, but nothing that affects usage.
  • It was assuring security as a vendor-based solution.

Most Important Features

  • It allows us to connect with our customers, which is a great business strategy.
  • Its Control Center allows us to efficiently configure, manage, and troubleshoot IoT deployments via API or web interface.
  • It enables us to manage IoT deployments and trust Cisco's superior customer service.

Return on Investment

  • It allows us to reduce costs, improve reliability, and quickly recoup our investment and achieve excellent results.
  • It has complete control over its connection, messages, and remote phone services.
  • Cisco Jasper 5G connectivity connects all devices well. It's a good choice for protecting sensitive data.

Pros

  • Device integration
  • Connectivity management
  • Enterprise-grade solution

Cons

  • Simplify interface for users that need the least amount of features
  • Improve connectivity speed and device recognition

Most Important Features

  • Security
  • Versatility
  • Uptime of servers

Return on Investment

  • We saved an average of 14% on device connectivity costs
  • We have an almost 99% uptime thanks to CJ.
