Data Driven Quadrant and
Industry Applications
We lead with Aeris for connectivity because the facts support it: platform scale from Ericsson’s IoT stack, multi MNO eSIM, deep security, and a carrier agnostic approach tailored to each use case. For industrial operations, Siemens is our leader: Industrial Edge for on-line inference, Insights Hub for data, and native SCADA integration. Everyone has a niche. I can help clear the air.
AIoT Landscape — Intelligence vs. Industrial Hardening
Featured Micro White Paper: Industrial Manufacturing (The Siemens Edge)
Measurable Impact (KPI Metrics)
Ideal Client Profile (ICP)
Multi-site plants, PLC heavy, downtime sensitivity, readiness for Private 5G or robust Wi-Fi plus cellular backup.
Plays and Solutions
Plays: Machine telemetry → lakehouse, predictive maintenance, vision QA at edge, worker safety wearables, AMR/AGV control.
Pattern: eSIM modules → secure APN → CMP → cloud feature store → model serving at line-side gateway.
Infrastructure Modernization — Critical Comms
The "unsexy" but critical layer. Replacing aging copper POTS lines for life-safety systems before carriers decommission them.
POTS Replacement (Fire, Elevator, Fax)
Compliant LTE/5G POTS Replacement
Carriers are killing copper lines. The cost to maintain them is skyrocketing. We deploy a "One Box" solution that converts analog signals (Fire Panels, Elevator Phones, Blue Light Towers) to reliable LTE/5G connectivity.
Why this matters now
- Compliance: NFPA 72, UL 864, and ASME A17.1 certified for life safety.
- Reliability: 24-hour battery backup included (works when power fails).
- Cost: Immediate 20-50% savings vs. legacy carrier copper bills.
Key Certifications
- ✅ Fire Marshal Approved: 50 States
- ✅ Elevator Code: ASME A17.1
- ✅ Healthcare: HIPAA Compliant Fax
- ✅ Failover: Dual SIM + WAN backup
IIoT — Industrial Internet of Things
Specialized branch focusing on industrial machines, systems, and operations. High availability, legacy OT integration, and heavy duty automation.
Utilities and Grid (Aeris)
Utilities & Grid — Aeris Intelligent Connectivity
Remote grid assets don't just need connection; they need intelligence. Aeris provides a unified connectivity layer that optimizes signal across carriers, reducing blind spots and maintenance costs for AMI, reclosers, and renewables.
What we actually measure
- SAIDI (System Average Interruption Duration Index)
- SAIFI (System Average Interruption Frequency Index)
- Truck rolls and field maintenance costs

Logistics & Warehousing (Samsara)
Logistics & Warehousing — Samsara Connected Operations
Stop guessing where your assets are. Samsara merges telematics, asset tracking, and AI cameras into a single pane of glass. From the warehouse floor to the last mile, get real-time visibility that actually connects your physical operations.
What we actually measure
- Asset utilization and dwell time
- Fleet safety and driver behavior (AI dash cams)
- Cold chain temperature compliance
Samsara: Operate Smarter
AIoT — Artificial Intelligence of Things
The fusion of IoT with AI. Enabling devices to analyze data, make decisions, and act autonomously at the edge without round-tripping to the cloud. Powered by EPIC iO.
Smart City (EPIC iO)
Smart City — EPIC iO DeepInsights
Safer parks, smarter intersections, and zero-trust connectivity. EPIC iO brings AI intelligence to the edge, processing video and sensor data locally to detect illegal dumping, monitor air quality, and improve public safety without sending streams to the cloud.
What we actually measure
- Incident response time (automated alerts)
- Public space utilization and safety
- Environmental compliance (Air/Water quality)
The Power of EPIC iO
Intel Partner Demo: EPIC iO
Healthcare — Connected Care & Patient Safety
Intelligent Patient Safety & Asset Tracking
Modern hospitals run on data, but they are often blind to physical risks. We deploy edge-based computer vision to detect slip-and-fall incidents, monitor patient wandering (elopement), and track critical assets like IV pumps in real-time.
All processing happens locally on the edge appliance—ensuring HIPAA compliance by design because sensitive video streams never leave the facility.
What we actually measure
- Patient safety events (Falls, Wandering)
- Cold chain temperature (Vaccines/Labs)
- Asset utilization and location history
Patient Safety & Fall Detection
Secure Medical Connectivity
Retail & CPG (EPIC iO)
Retail — EPIC iO Store Intelligence
Every second counts. Improve visitor flow, reduce wait times, and instantly detect security threats like loitering or aggression. We turn video feeds into actionable data for Loss Prevention and Operations teams.
What we actually measure
- Customer dwell time and heatmap
- Queue length and service speed
- Known threat detection (Watchlists)

Smart Farming & Agnostic Intelligence
Smart Farming — Agnostic Intelligence
Precision agriculture isn't about buying new tractors; it's about unlocking the data in the fleet you already own. Whether you run John Deere, Case IH, or a mixed fleet, we overlay edge intelligence to monitor crop health, soil moisture, and equipment telemetry in real-time. No rip and replace required—just turn on the insights and make smarter decisions.
What we actually measure
- Crop health & disease detection (Computer Vision)
- Soil moisture & nutrient levels (IoT Sensors)
- Livestock counting & health monitoring

Fleet and Mobility (Aeris)
Fleet & Mobility — Aeris Intelligent Fleet
Connectivity that moves with you. Aeris provides the global "system of systems" to keep fleets connected across borders. With multi-carrier eSIM and a unified control plane, you eliminate roaming shock and dead zones.
What we actually measure
- Data cost per vehicle/asset
- Connection success rate across borders
- Security compliance (Zero Trust cellular)

Common Questions & Architectural Philosophy
"Do we need to rip and replace our legacy machines?"
Rarely. The goal of Industrial Edge (Siemens) and AIoT overlay (EPIC iO) is to extract intelligence from existing assets. We use non-intrusive sensors (vibration, temperature, optical) and edge gateways that clamp onto your existing brownfield environment. We modernize the data stream, not the metal.
"Why shouldn't I just go direct to Verizon or AT&T?"
Carriers sell coverage maps; we sell connection success rates. If you go direct, you are locked into one network's dead zones. By using Aeris or Peplink through Industry5, we build a multi-carrier fabric. Your devices automatically switch to whichever signal is strongest, and you get a single pane of glass for billing and management.
"How does the engagement model work?"
We are paid by the suppliers (Siemens, Aeris, etc.) to be your architect. You pay the same (or often less due to our volume contracts) than you would going direct, but you get an unbiased architecture that aligns the right tech to your P&L, not a sales quota.
