Help needed: IoT / OSS cross-over use cases

Hi PAOSS community.

I’d like to call in a favour today if I may. I’m on the hunt for any existing use-cases and / or project sites that have integrated a significant sensor network into their OSS and existing operational processes. I’m trying to better understand the opportunities at the cross-over point of use-cases / functionality / products / data / process between IoT platforms and OSS

That includes a strategy for handling IoT-scale integration of data collection, event / alarm processing, device management, data contextualization, data analytics, end-to-end security and applications management / enablement within existing OSS tools.

I’m looking for examples where an OSS had previously managed thousands of (network) devices and is now managing hundreds of thousands of (IoT) devices. Not necessarily IoT devices of customers as services but within an operator’s own network.

Obviously that’s an unprecedented change in scale in traditional OSS terms, but will be commonplace if our OSS are to play a part in the management of large sensor networks in the future.

There’s an element of mutual exclusivity between what an IoT management platform and OSS needs to do, but there are also some similarities. I’d love to speak with anyone who has actually bridged the gap.
