Huawei and Aichi Tokei Denki Start Technology Verification of NB-IoT Smart Water Meters
Huawei Japan and Aichi Tokei Denki Co., Ltd will expand their efforts in verifying Narrow Band IoT (NB-IoT) technologies for smart water metering. As the Japanese water industry demands greater efficiency, the two companies will utilize NB-IoT, and next generation LPWA, aiming to realize automatic metering, better end-user services with visible water usages, and improved piping management to support sustained and healthy water supply businesses. http://bit.ly/2yMqsH2 #Huawei #BigData #AI
API Developer Account Usage Basics
I’m helping some clients think through their approach to API management. These projects have different needs, as well as different resources available to them, so I’m looking to distill things down to the essential components needed to get the job done. I spent some time thinking through the developer account basics, and now I want to break down the aspects of API consumption and usage around these APIs and developer accounts. I want to think about the moving parts of how we measure, quantify, communicate, and invoice as part of the API management process.
Having a Plan
We have developers signed up, with API keys that they’ll be required to pass in with each API call they make. The next portion of API management I want to map out for my clients is the understanding and management of how API consumers are using resources. One important concept that I find many API providers, and would be API providers don’t fully grasp, is service composition. Something that requires the presence of a variety of access tiers, or API plans, which define the business contract we are making with each API providers. API plans usually have these basic elements: https://goo.gl/JmeFrm #DataIntegration #ML
