Internet of Things products supplier Telit Communications announced on Wednesday that its deviceWISE Asset Gateway Software had been validated on the Cisco ISR8x9 and Cisco 4000 families of routers.

The AIM-traded company said the software was now available as an “integrated cloud-ready” industrial IoT solution.
