Octave lets you securely extract, orchestrate, and act on data from your equipment to your cloud
As the all-in-one edge-to-cloud solution for the Industrial IoT, Octave enables industrial companies to extract, orchestrate, and act on meaningful and useful data from their industrial equipment to their cloud infrastructure. In essence, Octave solves both the complexity and the data orchestration challenge, whilst also offering reliable end-to-end security.
Octave is the all-in-one platform for connecting industrial assets to the cloud. It enables industrial companies securely to extract, orchestrate and act on data from their equipment, prior to forwarding to their cloud infrastructure.
Octave uses IoT infrastructure that Sierra Wireless has built using edge devices, their global connectivity services, and their best-in-class connectivity and device management platform. Octave’s data orchestration engine allows developers to stream, organize and act on data flows, either at the edge (field deployed asset) or in the cloud. Sierra Wireless expertise and integration know-how brings it all together.
Fully integrated, secure communications from field to cloud.
As well as providing high level Octave Connectors for specific Cloud IoT solutions, Octave supports standard API methods such as websockets and REST for connectivity to back-end cloud solutions.

Octave pricing is region based. The information provided below applies to Region A, which includes Europe (including UK), USA, Canada and much of Asia.
For each device, pricing comprises of a solution fee of $1 per month, plus a message fee based on the number of messages transacted per month. Each message is an individual transaction through the Octave Edge to Cloud system, but may comprise of up to 20 datapoints. Each datapoint may consist of up to 25 bytes for string datatypes. Messages are charged at $1 per 1000.
During the development phase, “Developer Mode” can be used, which allows frequent changes and updates to be made to your data model as you develop your prototype. Developer mode is charged at $5 per month and includes up to 20,000 messages.
During 2019, Sierra Wireless commissioned Forrester Research to compile an indpendent study of the commercial benefits of implementing IIoT solutions using Octave. This concluded that using Sierra Wireless Octave can lead to an 88% return on your Industrial IoT investment, over the course of three years.

You set up your Octave edge device to monitor 3 datapoints
You want to log these datapoints every hour but don’t need real-time updates – you’re happy to get the data every 6 hours. With Octave, that will generate 4 messages per day x 30 days x 500 devices = 60,000 messages per month. On top of that, you want to set up an alert to send a message immediately when any of these values changes by more than 20% in an hour. You expect these alerts to generate an additional 100 messages per month for the entire deployment. That makes a total of 60,100 messages per month. Your deployment is in Region A, so your rate is $1 monthly per connected device plus $1 for every 1000 messages. Per the table below, this works out to a monthly total of $560.10 per month, or $1.12 per telemetry system.
