Zurich - The North American telecommunications giant AT&T has awarded the IoT specialists qiio the world’s first Network Optimized certification. This covers qiio devices that have been developed on the basis of the Azure Sphere from Microsoft, which control IoT deployments via cellular technology.

AT&T has awarded an AT&T Network Optimized certificate to a solution developed by qiio in the area of the Internet of Things (IoT), further details of which can be found in a press release. According to information from qiio, this is the first-ever certification of its kind from the world’s largest telecommunications provider. The certification relates to the q200 Guardian and Concentrator XN from qiio in addition to the Development Kit.
