The challenge

You can’t optimize what you can’t observe

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 and potential vulnerabilities to cyberattack

  • Confirm uptime or coverage across deployments

  • Track compliance-critical behaviors like encrypted communications across global devices

  • Identify and take action on over-the-air (OTA) update failures

Lack of real-time device visibility drains your resources and slows your response.

You need operational intelligence built specifically for IoT.

Our solution

Operational visibility without operational overhead

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 Visibility steps in, transforming raw data into actionable business intelligence.

Aeris IoT Watchtower Visibility enhances the Aeris Connectivity Management Platform with real-time, device-level visibility and traffic intelligence, so you get the 360-degree view of your cellular IoT environment.

This unprecedented visibility empowers you to:

  • Monitor real-time asset behavior

  • Analyze traffic patterns and detect anomalies

  • Identify threats early

  • Track performance trends and device health

Plus, Aeris IoT Watchtower Visibility integrates directly into the cellular data path to give you 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, faster mean-time-to-resolution and simplified compliance reporting.

Our approach

See what’s really happening on your network

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 Visibility gives you the complete picture
With Aeris IoT Watchtower Visibility, 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.

See more. Know more. Act faster.

Finally, see what you’re missing with Aeris IoT Watchtower Visibility.
