Project Description

Design, build, and deploy an enterprise class, highly scalable and secure Internet of Things (IoT) platform.

Details

The client required the development of core technologies (hardware + software) to create an enterprise class collection of Internet of Things (IoT) products that are easy to use, cost-effective, scalable, and secure.

The solution involved the development of software and two hardware devices. The software runs in a secure data center and on each hardware device. One hardware device would function as a Secure Access Point. The second hardware device controls and interacts with various devices. The software and hardware were developed using Red Rake’s Real Obvious technologies.
