Monitor Business Locations, Assets & Physical Environments
AT&T Connected Spaces uses IoT sensors, gateways, dashboards and alerts to help businesses monitor conditions inside physical locations and respond earlier when something changes.
The current portfolio includes Connected Spaces Essentials for straightforward sensor monitoring and Connected Spaces for Enterprise for larger organizations that need a more advanced edge, data and AI architecture.
Updated September 19, 2026. Hardware, service-plan charges, sensor requirements and enterprise design vary by deployment.
Connected Spaces Essentials vs. Connected Spaces for Enterprise
| Solution | Best Starting Point For | What It Does |
|---|---|---|
| Connected Spaces Essentials | Restaurants, retail, property management, warehouses, clinics, hospitality and similar locations | Plug-and-play sensors, a gateway, dashboards and alerts for conditions such as leaks, temperature, motion, entry and customer feedback. |
| Connected Spaces for Enterprise | Larger, multi-location organizations with more complex operational data and automation needs | Brings equipment, sensors, cameras and other devices into a broader edge and cloud architecture for near-real-time operational insights and AI-enabled use cases. |
AT&T Connected Spaces Essentials
Connected Spaces Essentials is designed to make physical-environment monitoring relatively simple. Sensors communicate with a gateway, the gateway sends information to a secure cloud platform, and the dashboard provides current and historical data, alerts and operational visibility.
Sensors Watch the Space
Sensors can monitor conditions such as temperature, humidity, leaks, doors, motion, customer feedback and other physical events.
Gateway Collects the Data
An IoT gateway receives the sensor information and sends it to the Connected Spaces platform.
Dashboard Shows What Is Happening
The dashboard provides current and historical information so managers can monitor locations and assets remotely.
Rules Trigger Notifications
Businesses can configure rules and receive alerts when monitored conditions cross thresholds or when specific events occur.
What Connected Spaces Can Monitor
Leak Detection
Receive alerts when leaks are detected around equipment, storage areas, server rooms, kitchens and other monitored spaces.
Temperature & Humidity
Monitor refrigerated areas and other environments where temperature or humidity changes can affect products, equipment or operations.
Entry & Motion Detection
Track doors, windows, movement and activity so managers can receive alerts based on defined rules.
Call Buttons
Allow employees, guests, patients or residents to request assistance and trigger notifications.
Satisfaction Feedback
Collect near-real-time guest or customer feedback through simple satisfaction-input devices.
Energy & Condition Awareness
Use environmental data and alerts to identify abnormal conditions, inefficiencies or operational issues earlier.
Current Connected Spaces Essentials Pricing
Current hardware kits start at $730. AT&T states that the starting price includes multiple sensors and a gateway.
That starting amount is hardware only. Applicable service-plan charges, taxes, fees and other charges are separate. Additional sensors can also be purchased at then-current pricing.
Where Connected Spaces Essentials Fits
Cold Storage, Leaks & Service
Monitor refrigeration conditions, doors, leaks, customer feedback and assistance requests.
Remote Building Awareness
Monitor leaks, temperature, activity and other conditions across properties without requiring someone to be physically present.
Store Operations & Customer Experience
Monitor entrances, activity, environmental conditions and customer feedback across business locations.
Environmental & Asset Protection
Monitor conditions that can affect safety, inventory, productivity and equipment.
Operational Monitoring
Use sensors and alerts to support temperature monitoring, assistance workflows and other clinic operations.
Guest & Property Awareness
Monitor environmental conditions, leaks, entry activity and guest-service signals across properties.
Connected Spaces for Enterprise
In 2026, AT&T expanded Connected Spaces with an enterprise offering developed in collaboration with Microsoft Azure. Connected Spaces for Enterprise is designed to bring information from equipment, sensors, cameras and other devices into a common edge and cloud architecture.
The goal is broader than basic sensor alerts. Enterprise organizations can use near-real-time physical-environment data to improve operations, safety and security, customer experience, space utilization, energy management and other large-scale use cases.
Scale Across Many Sites
Better suited to organizations managing larger portfolios of stores, facilities, restaurants, hospitality locations or other distributed physical environments.
More Than Individual Sensors
Can incorporate multiple types of physical equipment, sensors, cameras and data sources into a broader operational architecture.
Advanced Analysis & Automation
Uses Microsoft Azure and Azure AI capabilities to help turn physical-environment data into operational insights and automated responses.
Specialist-Led Solution
Enterprise deployments require discovery, architecture and integration work rather than simply ordering a sensor kit.
Connected Spaces Is Part of the Larger IoT Picture
Connected Spaces is a specific IoT solution for monitoring physical environments. It is not the same as a general IoT connectivity deployment using embedded SIMs, LTE-M, Global SIM, Control Center or private cellular networking.
If your project involves connected vehicles, embedded devices, sensors manufactured into equipment, global SIMs or thousands of cellular endpoints, start with the broader AT&T IoT Solutions for Business page.
