Opencode IoT Center – the intelligent solution for IoT connectivity management
What is IoT connectivity management, and how does it benefit Mobile Network Operators (MNOs)?
The IoT connectivity management module, known as the IoT Center, is a core component of Opencode’s comprehensive IoT platform. It serves as an interface for flexible monitoring, control, and management of accounts and the IoT devices connected to them.
Below, we summarize the architecture, key functionalities, modules, and integration principles essential for understanding the IoT Center and its role in IoT ecosystems.
Opencode IoT Center – core functionality
The IoT Center is purpose-built to support MNOs in managing their systems, users, and partner operations efficiently.
Importantly, the IoT Center operates at the web portal level, not as a traditional IoT gateway. Some of its main features include:
- IoT connectivity management
- Device and data management
- Orchestration and integration
- Service creation enablement
These features empower MNOs to enhance user experience, deliver advanced IoT services, manage partner relationships, enable flexible rating and billing, and drive new revenue streams.
An advanced IoT connectivity management module like Opencode’s is increasingly recognized as a growth engine by MNOs, system integrators, investors, and consultants worldwide.
Opencode IoT Center – functional architecture
The functional architecture of the IoT Center is designed for simplicity and scalability, making it accessible even for non-technical stakeholders.
By integrating various IoT applications, the IoT Center enables the creation, execution, and administration of multiple services. Key operational capabilities include:
- Service API exposure – Supports both partner self-care portals and MNO partner/product admin portals.
- Device Management & Diagnostics – Provides fast provisioning and real-time order management.
- Connectivity monitoring, alarms, and reporting – Enables superior subscription management and fault detection.
- SMS Center IoT application – Administers the Home Location Register (HLR) and/or Home Subscriber Server (HSS).
- Device & Data Management – Facilitates rating, billing, and policy control.
The IoT Center integrates seamlessly with external platforms such as CRM systems and financial systems to streamline invoicing and partner collaboration.
Opencode IoT Center – building blocks
Operators can customize the IoT Center by selecting and combining the following building blocks to meet specific business needs:
- Device and Data IoT Connectivity Management
Supports multiple protocols (AMQP, HTTPS, etc.) for device communication and management. It enables configuration updates and registration using templates like LWM2M, UDP, and CoAP.
- Network IoT Connectivity Management
Includes dedicated HSS with optimized licensing, SMS Center functionalities, alarm generation, device communication, and integrated OCS/PCRF for IoT charging and policy enforcement.
- MNO Partner & Product Administration Web Interface
Enables real-time partner subscription management, portal access rights configuration, and SLA monitoring.
Additional optional modules include:
- IoT-dedicated subscription management with SMS/Voice/Data bundles
- Service alarms and reporting with programmable thresholds
- Provisioning and enterprise order request management
- Partner IoT self-care with real-time device statistics
The modular design ensures that the IoT Center can be tailored to each enterprise’s specific operational and business requirements.
Opencode IoT Center – network integration essentials
A typical IoT connectivity management environment ensures multi-channel communication, monitoring, and data exchange between:
- The IoT connectivity management module (Opencode IoT Center)
- IoT-enabled devices (handsets, electronics, vehicles, security systems) and the MNO network
- Partner applications and administrative platforms
- MNO customer care and billing systems
This continuous interaction across the network enables responsive service delivery and operational flexibility for both individual and enterprise users.
