Lantronix Launches True Zero-Touch Automation for Remote Device
July 2021 by Marc Jacob
Lantronix Inc. announces true zero-touch automation enhancements for provisioning remotely deployed IoT devices. Now included in Lantronix ConsoleFlow™ cloud-based Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform, True Zero-Touch simplifies onboarding logistics of new devices, virtually eliminating on-site visits, reducing operational costs for our customers.
True Zero-Touch Deployment
With True Zero-Touch Automation, Lantronix IoT devices and software services provide the following:
• Lantronix devices come cloud-enabled and connect to ConsoleFlow on power-up.
• Devices will check for updates and will initiate firmware and configuration downloads.
• Updates can be available for a single device deployment or for many devices across several geographic locations globally, reducing the potential for human errors.
• Updates from the cloud use secure industry standard protocols and encryption, so there is no need for setting up complex VPN software or using unsecure DHCP servers.
• True Zero-Touch automation features device import, which allows ConsoleFlow to automatically import purchased devices directly into the customer’s ConsoleFlow account, eliminating repetitive and time-consuming efforts to add devices one at a time.
• Lantronix cellular devices come with a pre-installed SIM card that is pre-activated to connect to ConsoleFlow, speeding up deployments and increasing operational efficiency.
