Aeris IoT Watchtower™ Monitoring
View real-time insights that help your IoT operations team act faster, spend smarter and perform better — simply by activating Aeris IoT Watchtower Monitoring within the Aeris Connectivity Management Platform.
IoT devices are critical to your operations, but traditional monitoring tools don’t track cellular IoT traffic until it hits the edge of the enterprise, creating dangerous visibility gaps.
That means your operations team is flying blind. Without granular traffic-level insight, you can’t:
Spot performance issues before failures happen
Detect unusual traffic
Confirm uptime or coverage across deployments
Spot over-the-air (OTA) update failures quickly
See when devices can’t reliably reach the cloud applications and APIs
Lack of real-time device visibility drains your resources and slows your response.
You need operational intelligence built specifically for IoT programs and the cloud services that power them.
Simply connecting your IoT devices isn’t enough. You need visibility into your entire IoT deployment to proactively manage operations, optimize resources and drive strategic growth.
That’s where Aeris IoT Watchtower Monitoring steps in, transforming raw data into actionable business intelligence.
Aeris IoT Watchtower Monitoring enhances the Aeris Connectivity Management Platform with real-time, device-level visibility and traffic intelligence, so you get the 360-degree view of your global cellular IoT environment.
This unprecedented visibility empowers you to:
Monitor device behavior across networks and cloud services in real time
Detect anomalies and unusual traffic as they occur
Identify misbehaving devices and protocol deviations quickly
Investigate individual devices to diagnose issues faster
Track device health and performance trends
Expose unexpected data usage before it drives cost or downtime
See how devices communicate with cloud services and pinpoint failing endpoints
Find hidden issues like misconfigured firmware and "phantom" data usage silently drive up costs
Plus, Aeris IoT Watchtower Monitoring integrates directly into the cellular data path to give you granular visibility with zero friction—no agents, no custom SIMs, no rerouting, no new hardware and no disruption to your current deployments.
The result? True operational excellence through smarter resource allocation and faster mean-time-to-resolution.
Traditional IoT platforms provide a high-level view of traffic — how long a device was connected or how much data was used. That’s like knowing there were 1,000 vehicles on the highway at rush hour — it’s interesting but not actionable.
Aeris IoT Watchtower Monitoring gives you the complete picture
With Aeris IoT Watchtower Monitoring, you gain deep, real-time insight into every connection — at the IP, port and protocol levels. That’s like knowing not only the number of vehicles on the road at any given time but also whether they’re cars or trucks, where they entered and exited, and how likely each is to cause an accident.
Only Aeris provides this level of visibility
You’ll know what’s happening, where it’s happening and how to respond — in real time.
Get real-time, traffic-level visibility that goes beyond basic connection and data-usage metrics.
Trace where devices connect, how they communicate and when behavior shifts or cloud services fail.
Identify unusual patterns as they appear so your team can troubleshoot sooner and reduce downtime.
Track what your IoT devices are doing, spot issues faster and streamline operations with ease.
| Feature functionality | Operational value | |
|---|---|---|
| Anomaly Detection identifies abnormal patterns within cellular data traffic such as usage spikes, abnormal roaming, or irregular SIM profile changes. | → | Earlier detection of changes that may signal fraud, security risks, or operational issues. |
| Analyze Device Report examines and interprets the data collected from a specific device. | → | Identify and resolve issues, detect errors and gain actionable insights for operational efficiency, security or troubleshooting. |
| Aggregate Account Statistics provide an overall view of activity and trends. | → | Monitor usage patterns, track performance metrics, and identify unusual behaviors to support reporting, operational insights and strategic decision-making. |
| Search History reviews device search activities within a given period. | → | Analyze recent behaviors, identify patterns, monitor suspicious or unusual queries and support operational insights or security investigations. |
Aeris IoT Watchtower Monitoring gives your operations team real-time visibility into device behavior, empowering you to:
Identify which devices or applications drive unexpected data usage so you can address issues before they increase spend.
Detect unusual behavior and communication patterns early to troubleshoot faster and keep things running smoothly.
Monitor device-to-cloud communication in real time to uncover misconfigurations or connection problems before they escalate.
Use real-time operational insight to enhance SLAs, refine offerings and scale IoT deployments with fewer resource constraints.
Real-time visibility into traffic-level insight is just the beginning. As your operational, security and compliance needs grow, you can extend Aeris IoT Watchtower Monitoring with additional bundles that deliver deeper insight, stronger controls and end-to-end protection across your entire IoT deployment.
