Fleet Management Solution by Orchestra Technology

Understanding your customer and product – Testing the Smartphone Case

When was the last time you had tons of customer data and were faced with the challenge of making an implementable business strategy out of it? Did you ever need to perform app analytics or active testing and test automation for a new product? Chances are that if you are either a wireless service provider, device manufacturer, network equipment manufacturer or quite simply an enterprise that manages apps, you are doing that right now. Wouldn’t you prefer a one stop shop for all these rather crucial features? One that provides an end to end solution and enhances your customer experience.

Intelli-Agent, designed by Orchestra Technology, lets you accomplish just that, and more. With cloud based client-server architecture, you can easily mimic the customer behavior, collect data and analyze it to take corrective measures with minimal human intervention, be it device diagnostics, app analytics etc. Let’s try to understand how this works with a live case.

Few months ago Orchestra technology was approached by WavCatcher, a phone accessories company in the DFW area. The client wanted to quality test their new phone case. This phone case was developed to enhance user experiences by boosting Cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth signals, in turn saving battery consumption. With the help of Intelli-Agent, we identified six critical KPIs and four different test scenarios, which consisted a combination of LTE and Wi-Fi both with and without GPS.

To conduct deeper analysis and provide more relevant recommendations, we performed this test using an iPhone 6s as the base phone. The three comparative tests included iPhone 6s with the client’s phone case, iPhone 6s with a competitor’s phone case and another with no phone case. A quick illustration of the tests can be found below:

After running all these complex simulations, we provided the client with detailed reports, which stated that the new phone case designed by the client was indeed outperforming its competitors. All these reports were very user-friendly and were created using Intelli-Agent itself. This tool made the entire process of running the tests very quick, efficient and automated.

Intelli-Agent (IA) is a fully automated, cloud based mobile platform. IA Platform is the foundation for multiple products namely, IA-WiFi Suite, IA-Network Suite, IA-Multi-media Suite and IA-Device Suite. IA platform can compose and orchestrate actions on Mobile devices/Network elements in any Cellular or WiFi network, by measuring, analyzing and reporting metrics related to service, network equipment, device, and applications.

Intelli-Agent can easily execute a wide range of mobile tasks, capture the vast amount of data, and process the data into actionable reports. Helping this phone accessories company evaluate its product’s viability, was just one of the many ways Orchestra Technology is able to serve customers. We strive hard to provide best customizable solutions for any client that we work with, so that they can make their customers happy.

Jairaj Hegde is a Keynote speaker at CIE 27th Annual Convention

As they say, “Anything that can be connected, will be connected”. Internet of Things (IoT) is one promising paradigm that has potential to impact networking larger than life.

Chinese Institute of Engineers (CIE) hosted its 27^th annual convention with a concentrate on Technology, Manufacturing, Operation and Services. Orchestra Technology is one organization that shares the same vision by bringing together best of Talents, Technology and Services in the area of wireless communications and networking.

Very well recognized as a Mobility Expert, Jairaj was invited as one of the key note speakers at CIE 27^th annual convention to share his technical expertise & experience and, serve the very purpose of the symposium “Smart City, SmartLife”.http://www.cie-fw.org/events/2016/convention/symposium.html.

During his discourse, Jairaj talked of the various challenges of Internet of Things and the command and control that can be done with IoT, with a bigger focus on the Security issues that is faced with IoT. Jairaj says, ‘’ IoT is a seamless combination of embedded intelligence, ubiquitous connectivity and deep analytical insights. It is a deep kinetics of things creating unique and disruptive value for businesses, consumers and societies. A Phenomena that can scale high because of falling hardware costs, cloud services and relatively ubiquitous communications.” He discussed the different challenges in deploying IoT services, the value propositions, the scalability that has to be achieved and how to convert the challenges into opportunities by way of scaling services, applications, censors and infrastructure.

With the limitless opportunities that this computing concept brings about, comes along challenge of making it insusceptible. The advent of high scale IoT poses various kind of threats like DDos, Information disclosure, Device Spoof/MIMT, Poor Management etc. He emphasised on how any weak link can bring about device-to-device attack. IoT is comprised of interdependent, complex and cumbersome network where there are many stakeholders and service providers at each point in the architecture. The whole system starting from the gateway to network, to devices, to end point, to data centre, have their own bringing off and any compromise of device at any stage, internally or externally, can corrupt the whole system. He suggests that IoT vulnerabilities is mainly because the devices are very small in size and the constant pressure to bring the cost down.

In his presentation, Jairaj proposed for an IoT security model that can be based on Scalability & better management of devices and; adopting some basic principles like using standards wherever possible, in-depth defence mechanism, all IoT applications to be run in secured containers, all code to be signed & only trusted code to be executed, all communications to be encrypted & authenticated, all access to resources to be authenticated and authorized etc.

He also accentuated the importance of ‘End Point Identity Management’ and put forward the measures for effective End point Identity Management-all end points, including devices and applications, must be enrolled before they participate in the IoT system; the end point must either authenticate itself directly or be vouched for, by a previously enrolled gateway; configurable delegation of trust for different use cases and; a safe end-of-life process for the engaged devices. He suggested the Cooperative Security Fabric in the Enterprise so as to find out the global security threat and finally, the micro segmentation so that the data and information does not propagate.

Under Jairaj’ s leadership, Orchestra Technology is breaking barriers with Enterprise Mobility smart solutions and fostering innovations in the area of Internet of Things. The team aims to build solutions for Mobile Architecture in order to better manage mobile devices, wireless networks and cloud computing for the businesses.

The Sky is No Limit!

Harnessing young brainpower for the sake of technological advancements is one of Orchestra’s core ideals. Taking a step towards this goal, Orchestra participated in a hacka-thon organized by TechM and held at the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD) recently.

“A limitless future” was Orchestra’s motto as the company showcased its Intelli-Agent Platform for students to convert their own dreams into reality.

Tech M i5, a technology event sponsored by Tech Mahindra, provides a platform to encourage innovation; and bring together pioneers of new techniques with tech newbies. OT partnered with Tech Mahindra to sponsor the 3 day hackathon to combine innovative ideas and cutting edge technology to build a road the future, one Application at a time. The objective of OT’s participation was to buoy up young minds and seek new ideas that could challenge the Intelli-Agent (IA) Service Builder GUI System to create solutions to improve quality and safety of life. Orchestra Technology’s patent pending platform IA was the core platform using which students composed their solutions. Its Cloud architecture, advanced and intuitive user interfaces helped students deliver multiple solutions in less than 3 days. A significant leap forward!

CEO Anuj talking about the challenge to the participants

On the very first day, Orchestra Technology’s CEO Anuj kicked off the event by giving an overview of the Intelli-Agent Cloud Platform and how to create new applications using it. He encouraged students to think outside the box as they conceived applications threading Friends, Family and Internet of Things together in a beautiful symphony. Over 100+ students from Computer Science at UTD attended the event and got an in-depth understanding of the platform as Inder and Ajit presented a detailed demo of Intelli-Agent.

Four teams collaborated with Orchestra’s Engineers to finalize their ideas and started the implementation phase. Teams downloaded the IA APP on their phones and started building their solution on top of the existing technology. The simplicity of the architecture, and the ease of its GUIs generated excitement among the students as they implemented their own ideas across a diverse range of real Mobile Apps.

The third and final day was marked with equal buzz. It was judgement day and the judging panel would select their favorite ‘hacks’. Judging criteria were Originality of idea, Ability to clearly articulate what the App does, Difficulty of technical implementation, Completeness of the application and Presentation & demo. The judging Panel consisted of Industry leaders and Academia including Orchestra Technology’s Director of Technology, Sandeep Shrivastava.

What a fruitful synthesis of innovative ideas and intelligent applications! The event ended with a great spirit of learning and erudition. Multiple new Applications were conceived and demonstrated as part of the 3 day event.

Kudos go to Priyank, Dinesh and Abhishek from Tech M and Professor Pete Poorman from UTD for organizing a very successful event. Jeff and Sandeep supported the initiatives and worked closely with organizers and students to make it a great success!.

The OT Symphony:2014

Secret Santa at Orchestra!The Merriment continues…

Leisure is in the air! It’s time for all the gaiety and fun. With Christmas, Team OT observed another occasion of rejoicing. The festive season casting magic on all, filled the entire office with joy and enthusiasm. Christmas tree, Cake, Pizza and all manner of rock ‘n’ roll goodies for the delectation of all, Oh yes! They came with great gusto.

Christmas at Orchestra

The conference room was gaily decorated, all very gay and bright. In the far corner of the room, was a well decorated Christmas tree. Resembling very much holy fir and pine decorated with silver tinsel, miniature crackers and glass balls of many different colors. On the top, looking down on the tree with its myriads of tiny fairy lights is a Christmas star — shining and silvery, gifts underneath for all. Special incense brought the aroma of evergreens and freshness of the Himalayan peaks into the office.

No celebration is complete without a party flavor. At Orchestra Christmas, the team came in happy and excited to have some blithesome moments on the notes of fun, laughter and jokes. The jollification continued with a ‘Black Forest cake’ and ‘Texas Size Pizzas’.

Christmas is the time to have fun and excitement, it’s the time to share love and happiness; it’s the time to rejoice so many wonderful gifts life gives and it’s the time to realize the joy of giving. To add to the merriment, the secret Santa had gifts for all, ensuring smiling faces on Christmas. It was joyous to see the team bonding together. Most enjoyable was when they wore “Sherlock Holmes” hat and tried to guess who their secret Santa was. Someone looked at the handwriting, someone was searching for “finger prints” and some adopted under the table techniques “bribing” Royna. It was delightful to see how everyone was so thoughtful in choosing the gifts and adding to the Christmas Galore.

Team OT is thankful to Jeff, Kathy and Royna for their enthusiasm and endeavour to make this Christmas memorable, beautiful and joyous. Orchestra family sings it’s Carol in the rhythm of team spirit, sharing happiness, mutual respect, coordination and joie de vivre. A time together to cherish for!

Halloween: A Perfect Celebration Moment with “The Orchestra Family”

Oct 31st! Yes, it’s that time of the month that we all get ready for some spooky Halloween celebrations. It’s that time of the month, we have our pumpkins lit up in the dark, bags filled with candy and welcome in the trick or offer the treats to the trick-or-treaters.

At Orchestra, Halloween was celebrated in great splendor by everyone at office. As part of the celebration, everyone was handed a little pumpkin the day before Halloween and was asked to either carve, draw, or embellish the pumpkin, of course, without cooking it. The employees took their respective pumpkins home that evening, spent some quality time with their family or loved ones and came back the next morning with creatively decorated pumpkins.

Some carved the pumpkin. Some drew on the pumpkin. Some carved and beautifully embellished the pumpkin. This pumpkin, with an inkling of high tech, called the “IA Test Robot”, was inspired by Orchestra Technology’s main tool, Cloud Platform, the Intelli-Agent. It was skillfully embellished with paper clips, candy canes and things that made it look like a robot at work. Everyone wished the IA Test Robot would take up all their tasks on the day of Halloween. Amazingly it did! Ask me how……

Royna, who comes with deep interest in art and painting, had her pumpkin carved with such precision that we could clearly see the teeth sticking out of her “pumpkin monster” (#4). Roger took the privilege of having some cute help and had his pumpkin drawn by his little daughter. She had a two faced pumpkin on either ends: one sad face named ‘Sad’ and another happy face named ‘Smiley’ (# 7). In this fun pumpkin parade at Orchestra’s arcade, only one was going to be selected as the winner. Everyone casted votes using colorful M&Ms for their top three pumpkins. The winner was our very own CEO, Anuj Jain. Anuj came up with a brilliantly creative idea of turning his pumpkin into Cinderella’s carriage by using scrap pieces of plastic to make wheels and creatively balanced the pumpkin on all the four sides. It was a perfect, out of the box Cinderella’s carriage.

Everyone congratulated our winner and the day ended with cutting cake and distributing candies. Everyone’s creativity was appreciated as they thought out of the box to come up with something quickly in a day and with minimal resources. This was a great occasion where Orchestra Family came together and bonded so well while sharing their pumpkin carving experience with their family to their co-workers. It was good to see the behind-the-scenes of the little pumpkin turning into a beautifully, embellished end product.

OT is proud of its multi-skilled team which is a blend of technical expertise, art, dexterity, flair and great aptitude. What a creative and a fun day to take a break from work and spend quality time with not only our family/loved ones but also our co-workers!
