About The Customer
VTM Group is a technology-driven organization that provides innovative IT, Telecom, IoT, and cybersecurity solutions to help strengthen businesses and their competitive positions. Based in the Netherlands, the company works with more than 60 professionals in various areas of expertise who translate their professional knowledge into concrete solutions, services, and products that meet its clients’ needs. VTM's customers include mission-critical industries such as fire, ambulance, and environmental safety services, who require continuous, secure, and reliable communication across their IoT devices.
The Challenge
VTM, an IT communications provider, was faced with the challenge of ensuring fast, secure, and reliable communication for the mission-critical industries it serves, including content streaming, water management, energy, and emergency services. The company needed to deliver end-to-end interconnection that accelerates machine-to-machine (M2M) data traffic to its customers without going over the public internet. The challenge was to provide low-latency connectivity, ensuring high-performance, secure communication with no interruptions. The industries served by VTM, such as fire, ambulance, and environmental safety services, require continuous communication across their IoT devices, as any disruption in service could potentially lead to loss of life.
The Solution
To address the challenge, VTM partnered with Equinix and Tele2 IoT to deliver innovative IoT solutions that meet the highest requirements for information security, automatic configuration, and reliable connectivity. Equinix Fabric software-defined interconnection delivers dedicated, virtual connections between the VTM and Tele2 IoT platforms, where data is captured from VTM’s client’s IoT devices. VTM deployed the Tele2 IoT’s state-of-the-art subscription-based connectivity management platform, Cisco IoT Control Center, to keep control of its IoT device connectivity and oversee the cost and availability of its connections. The Tele2 IoT platform delivers LTE-M, a low power wide area network radio technology designed for massive IoT applications. VTM’s IT infrastructure on Platform Equinix® is highly available, enabling the reliable access to communication for VTM’s customers who cannot tolerate any disruption to their IoT services.
Operational Impact
  • The partnership with Equinix and Tele2 IoT has enabled VTM to deliver more secure, reliable connectivity with greater uptime to its customers. The performance of VTM’s solution significantly improved, while reducing the load on its firewalls. The direct and secure, one-to-many virtual connections provide private data exchange between VTM and its mission-critical customers, such as public and environmental safety services, without going over the internet. Accessing Microsoft Azure AI-based data analytics from the Tele2 IoT and Equinix network infrastructure provides VTM with the intelligence it needs to deliver the most accurate information to its customers. The scalable Equinix and Tele2 IoT interconnectivity enables VTM to plan on bigger and better solutions that provide more in-depth data analytics and security services.
Quantitative Benefit
  • Faster IoT interconnectivity with lower latency and faster response times than the IPsec tunnels VTM previously used.
  • Secure, private data exchange between VTM and its mission-critical customers without going over the internet.
  • Access to Microsoft Azure AI-based data analytics from the Tele2 IoT and Equinix network infrastructure.
