What is SkywaveIoT?

A platform that offers flexible and reliable architecture supporting all kinds of IoT applications, and combining device-to-device communication with cloud technologies.

The age of the Internet of Things is upon us, and the future is already taking shape. According to the latest research, very soon all the devices used in our daily lives will be able to communicate with each other and connect directly to the internet. “Smart objects” will pave the way for innovations that will make life easier, and will be underpinned by the flexible architecture of the SkywaveIoT platform developed by Innova, a Turk Telekom subsidiary. Innova is integrating SkywaveIoT, a technology and service platform that makes the technology of tomorrow available today, into all its next-generation applications. SkywaveIoT brings greater function to almost any device, acting as the glue between device-to-device connections and cloud technologies. New applications are developed for every sphere of life and all business sectors, and are empowered with the flexible and reliable cloud-based architecture that SkywaveIoT provides.

Platform ready, applications ready

SkywaveIoT platform removes all barriers to the development of IoT applications, as well as making use of applications already developed by Innova. Retail-oriented people counting, indoor analytics applications, smart signboards and smart city applications are some of the first ready-to-use applications to have been integrated into SkywaveIoT.

Smart City and ATM Management

SkywaveIoT contains nearly 20 different smart city applications, and enables a city to offer end-to-end technological solutions for local government and administration. ATM Environment Monitoring and Control System is an example of the new wave of IoT applications, and it enables banks, businesses or organisations that offer self-service access to continue operating without interruption.

SkywaveIoT Architecture

SkywaveIoT platform plays a significant role in bringing product and service providers closer to their clients through Innova technologies. In addition to its modern architecture, SkywaveIoT stands out for its sensor system and communications network, asymmetrical scalability, big data features, and end-to-end security. It can be deployed in client’s own data center or can be offered as a cloud solution.

Smart Cities powered by SkywaveIoT

The current global rate of urbanisation is 50% and is expected to increase to 60% by 2025, and 70% by 2050. Nevertheless, it is not possible to go through such a huge transformation by relying only on traditional instruments and methods of governance. Nowadays, only those, who invest in smart solutions shaped by cutting-edge technology can conquer new challenges in traffic management, transportation, security, energy and health.

Instead of relying on self-contained solutions, cities are increasingly turning to integrated options that improve the effectiveness of each element by sharing knowledge and thus creating more liveable cities and quicker returns on investment.

Imagine a city that can solve problems before they happen

Innova’s SkywaveIoT platform makes it possible to monitor the needs of a city and its residents continuously through an Internet of Things infrastructure. The system can detect problems and take remedial action thanks to analytical processes that work behind the scenes to detect the difficulty even before it arises. Smart cities that embrace to integrate SkywaveIoT, gain access to a technological infrastructure capable of fulfilling various solutions, whether this be in managing traffic, healthcare services, saving energy or in any otherblic services. Everything can be handled by a central system that can make a city more liveable, while bringing significant economic and environmental benefits.

Turkey’s first integrated smart city:Karaman

nnova’s SkywaveIoT platform provides the management and smart communication technologies needed to integrate sensors, kiosks, touchscreens, data centers and support services into an operational solution built for smart city projects.

Meeting all the goals of the digital revolution

Several important goals have been included in the scope of the digital transformation of integrated smart cities, in which Turk Telekom has been involved. These include:

• Security: Reacting more quickly to emergencies, lowering crime and road traffic accidents

• Productivity: Reducing costs by using water, energy and labour resources more efficiently, reducing investment costs by using cloud services and centralising the coordination of different facilities

• Economics: Creating new sources of income with smart city applications, increasing employment, encouraging application developers by focusing attention on the city and bringing local solutions to new markets

• Quality of life and environment: Providing new and innovative services, enhancing the quality of existing services and improving sustainability by reducing CO2 emissions

Smart Stores powered by SkywaveIoT

Evolving consumer habits are forcing the retail industry to change. A younger generation of consumers is facing information overload, and the constant stream of data draws them towards companies that give them better and more detailed information, or offer special offers and promotions tailored to their needs. In short, consumers prefer the companies that understand them best. This situation provides the opportunity for those that are able to collect and analyse data effectively to gain a great advantage. The SkywaveIoT platform helps you to improve profitability and productivity, bolstering the link between retail stores and consumers through the use of new smart store applications.
