Managing connected devices from concept to retirement is one of the biggest challenges facing IoT product teams. As products move from prototype to mass deployment, maintaining visibility, security, and control across the entire device lifecycle becomes critical. This is where cedarCore and cedarRoot play a vital role in modern device lifecycle management.
Device lifecycle management covers every phase of a connected product’s journey: onboarding, configuration, monitoring, updating, scaling, and eventual decommissioning. Without a unified platform, teams often rely on fragmented tools that increase risk, cost, and operational complexity.
cedarCore provides the centralized intelligence needed to manage devices at scale. It acts as the operational backbone, enabling secure device registration, authentication, telemetry ingestion, and real-time monitoring. From early pilot programs to full production rollouts, cedarCore ensures that devices remain visible and manageable throughout their operational life.
cedarRoot complements this foundation by focusing on secure firmware and software management. Over-the-air (OTA) updates are essential for fixing bugs, deploying new features, and addressing security vulnerabilities without recalling devices. cedarRoot allows teams to push controlled updates, manage versioning, and roll back changes if needed—minimizing downtime and risk.
Together, cedarCore and cedarRoot create a unified approach to lifecycle management that supports:
Secure device onboarding and identity management
Continuous monitoring and performance tracking
Safe, scalable firmware updates
Reduced maintenance and operational costs
Long-term product reliability and compliance
For early-stage companies, this integrated approach accelerates time to market by eliminating the need to build complex infrastructure from scratch. For mature platforms, it provides the stability and scalability required to support thousands—or millions—of connected devices in the field.
As IoT ecosystems grow more complex, lifecycle management can no longer be an afterthought. Platforms that combine operational control with secure update mechanisms enable teams to focus on innovation rather than firefighting.
