Arkessa is a leading M2M managed services provider, delivering global connectivity services and solutions through unrivaled multi-network connectivity in all regions of the World and true pole-to-pole coverage.

Andoit Technologies believes that in the year 2020, the world will be more connected, wireless networks will connect more machines than people and M2M technology will help us to be more energy and cost efficient, safer and more secure. This is the era of connected intelligence. With over 25 years’ experience in delivering scalable SCADA solutions into industries such as water and waste water, utilities, oil and gas, mining, telecommunications and a host of other industries, Adroit Technologies was placed to leverage its SCADA solution and build the Adroit M2M platform. Adroit’s Agent/Object architecture within the I/O Server offers a lot more built-in functionality such as scripting, transacting data into databases etc. saving users massive development time.

The Internet of Things (IoT) brings countless disruptive opportunities to the Enterprise. Any company can exploit IoT capabilities to optimize the use of resources, business processes, product quality. Moreover, Enterprises can then create innovative business models and competitive ‘pay per use’ or hybrid models for their industrial products, and additional services developed using ‘things information’. By creating its own Internet of Things Enterprises can get full and continuous information from devices, machines and systems, enable control and interactions, and use these features in new or existing business applications. This is why in Alleantia they talk about the Internet Of Own Things (IOOT), that every company must implement for supporting its specific business.

Through expert design, unparalleled systems expertise and proprietary intellectual property (IP), Adesto enables our customers to differentiate their systems where it matters most for IoT: better efficiency, greater reliability and security, integrated intelligence and lower cost.

Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine to Machine (M2M) focus on transforming bits of data collected at the edge of a pervasive distributed system into actionable information and knowledge for business decision makers and end users. These transformations are driving the biggest change in industry since the steam engine! One of the most important aspects of IoT vision is that smart objects communicate effectively with each other and with applications residing in data centers or the cloud. Eurotech develops and offers the technical building blocks required to build distributed systems of devices and sensors to be effectively interconnected with IT infrastructures. Eurotech solutions are a combination of hardware, Firmware, operating systems, programming frameworks and external infrastructure that enable customers focus on their core activities.

RTI is committed to open standards, open community source and open architecture. RTI provides the leading implementation of the Object Management Group Data Distribution Service (DDS) standard. For high-performance integrated systems, DDS is the ideal communications protocol. DDS is the technology that delivers the flexibility, reliability and speed necessary to build complex real-time applications. RTI Connext DDS has already delivered proven infrastructures for mission-critical military systems, advanced medical systems, wind turbine farms, air traffic control, robotics and factory automation.

Arkessa enables Internet of Things (IoT) devices to connect with each other regardless of geography, network operator or wireless technology. They provide Enterprises with a secure and future-proof M2M connectivity service that is easy to adopt, integrate and scale. They enable connections to personnel and assets no matter where they are in the world. Arkessa also provide tools and management services which simplify the deployment process and enhance the manageability and security of your M2M portfolio. Their Connectivity Management Platform, EMPort, enables their clients to retrieve and process information quickly and make smart decisions.
