Breakfast from Alai
The working breakfast, which took place on Tuesday, April 18, had as its main objective to analyze, together with the staff of the monitoring centers in Mexico who were invited, their pains, challenges and opportunities.
Well, from Alai it is clear that security in communications plays a crucial role when connecting devices -intrusion alarms, technical alarms, video surveillance cameras, POC devices -Push to talk over Cellular-, that is why it is considered essential to go hand in hand with an M2M / IoT operator specialized in telco security, that has the experience implementing this type of communications.
Order of the event
The breakfast space was inaugurated by Mario Mendiguren, marketing manager of Alai Secure. Then it was space for the talk "The challenge of security for monitoring centers in the new era of hyperconnectivity", was presented by Carlos Valenciano, general manager of Alai, with the collaboration of Rafael Escobar, Channel Manager and Sergio Carbajal, Chanel Account Manager, of Alai Secure.
He highlighted, from the intervention of Carlos Valenciano, who began analyzing the Internet of Things market and presented some of the success stories of recent IOT experiences, not related to security, but which intended to show the technological capacity of the company, such as smart watches with geolocation capacity for children and adults, Payment terminals, tracking of school routes, push-to-talk devices over cellular network and base stations for recharging electric vehicles.
He also pointed out the experience in the management of mission-critical communications that the brand has, which for example, in the case of Spain serves sectors such as socio-health, and occupies 40% of all telecare communications in the country, being the "best valued public service of the administration and that of private security" that works with 147 monitoring centers, of a total of 152 approved and registered control panels, managing more than 350,000 security alarms.
Valenciano pointed out, during his speech that "the electronic security industry was the first to participate in the new ecosystem of the Internet of Things by connecting alarm systems, video cameras and sensorization devices with the monitoring center to detect any intrusion attempt. We are specialists in managed connectivity. Telecommunications is our business. We have more than 18 years of experience since the constitution of Alai in Spain in 2005 and with the technological and financial support of more than 26 years of Grupo Ingenium".
What's new in Alai
Valenciano also presented Alai's new Global SIM, which is now available in Mexico. A simcard specially designed for machine-to-machine communications, which has coverage with the two main mobile networks in the country, Telcel and Telefónica Movistar, and is available in all formats, from triple cut die-cutting, to uSIM, for those cases in which the simcard is already welded with the factory device.
Finally, it is worth mentioning that for Alai the technology that will have the most impact is, without a doubt, the 5G network, as it will give way "to the new era of hyperconnectivity and makes it, now more than ever, necessary to ensure security in communications".
