Advantech, Behr Technologies, Hitachi Solutions, and Microsoft partner to develop IIoT connectivity solutions
研华、BTI、日立以及微软联手开发工业物联网连接方案

July 18, 2018–Advantech, Behr Technologies (BTI), Hitachi Solutions America, and Microsoft announced that the companies are collaborating to deliver wireless communications solutions with scalability, and security for private industrial internet of things (IIoT) networks. Since no single technology provider can enable IIoT alone, this joint effort will provide a mass-market, end-to-end wireless gateway solution to ensure connectivity with sensors for production-level industrial and commercial applications. The solution will deliver scalability, building penetration, integration and interoperability with legacy systems.

7月18日——研华、贝洱技术（BTI）、美国日立解决方案和微软共同宣布，四家公司正联手合作，为专用工业物联网（IIoT）网络提供可扩展性和安全性的无线通信解决方案。由于没有任何一家技术提供商可以独立实现IIoT，该合作将提供一种面向大众市场的端到端无线网关解决方案，确保与生产级工业和商业应用的传感器连接。该解决方案将为遗留系统提供可扩展性，增加穿透力、集成度和互操作性。

This collaboration aims to meet demand in the marketplace for out-of-the-box wireless IIoT communications solutions to connect the various sensors used by industrial and commercial customers in their business intelligence efforts. The foundation for the joint effort is BTI MIOTY, a low-power, wide-area network (LPWAN) communications solution that uses the ETSI standard telegram splitting ultra-narrow band (TS-UNB) technical specification for throughput networks, enabling organizations to deploy private IoT sensor networks. Using industry-standard Advantech gateways, BTI MIOTY will transmit up to 1.5 million messages per day within a radius of five to 15 kilometers, with no carrier requirements. Layered atop this infrastructure, Hitachi Solutions’ IoT Service Hub will enable organizations to connect and monitor devices and analyze the data in real time to improve operational efficiencies.

此次合作旨在满足市场对开箱即用的无线工业物联网通信解决方案的需求，以便将工业和商业客户使用的各种传感器连接到商业智能工作中。共同努力的基础是BTI MIOTY，一种低功耗广域网（LPWAN）通信解决方案，使用ETSI标准电报分割超窄带( TS - UNB )吞吐量网络技术规范，使组织能够部署专用物联网传感器网络。BTI MIOTY使用行业标准的研华网关，在不需要运营商的情况下，在5到15公里范围内每天传输信息多达150万条。基于此基础架构的日立解决方案物联网服务中心，帮助机构能够实时连接和监控设备并分析数据，从而提高运营效率。

The first application resulting from this collaboration is an approach to workforce safety using the BTI MIOTY LPWAN wireless solution on an industry-standard gateway. Using a wearable device to monitor the heart rate of workers in industrial high-risk environments, data on the health of hundreds of workers is transmitted over unlicensed, sub-gigahertz frequencies via BTI MIOTY to a single Advantech base station. From there, it is communicated to the Microsoft Cloud, where Hitachi Solutions’ IoT Service Hub can provide actionable insights on workers’ health and send alerts when workers are in danger. 

此次合作产生的第一个应用是在行业标准网关上使用BTI MIOTY LPWAN无线解决方案来实现员工安全。使用可穿戴设备监测工业高风险环境中工人的心率，通过BTI MIOTY将数百名工人的健康状况数据通过未经许可的亚千兆赫频率传输到单个研华基站。从那里，它被传达到微软云，在那里日立解决方案的物联网服务中心可以提供有关工人健康的可操作的见解，并在工人处于危险时发出警报。
