NeXTnet is reimagining how businesses will build, deploy, and manage edge networks in the Autonomous Era where there are a variety of things to manage. For example:
Tasking Robots
Autonomous Vehicles
IoT Devices
Audio and Video Equipment
Surveillance Cameras
Power Management
And many more devices will form part of an edge network performing critical tasks.
Critical Task Networks will have unprecedented requirements with respect to scale, uptime, security, openness, and management automation.
Edge network offerings from today’s incumbents are limited in their ability to scale and self-heal. They are proprietary, expensive, and not secure enough for the Autonomous Era, while being challenged in their ability to provide hardware agnostic single-pane-of-glass configuration and management. Furthermore, management of such networks is manual, tedious, and therefore error prone.
While such offerings served well in yesterday’s world, they were never designed for the autonomous era that is now upon us.
NeXTnet is a Silicon Valley based software startup, founded by Bill & Vikram, both with a successful track record in the networking sector. We are on a mission to enable Network Administrators to succeed in the autonomous era.
Our offerings are based on open-source technologies enabling us to mix & match hardware from multiple sources and easily bring devices together under the NeXTnet Cloud Management System.
Stay tuned for more from us.
