Cities, hospitals, universities, and businesses of all types currently face a decision to either modernize existing infrastructure with an overlay of new IoT equipment or rip and replace existing equipment in its entirety.

In these environments, flexible solutions to remotely monitor and manage remote, unstaffed facilities and a layer of onsite infrastructure sensor intelligence are needed.
