IoT connectivity that holds up in the field.
Secure gateway nodes, MQTT / CoAP / WebSockets under lossy networks, edge store-and-forward, and device identity at scale. For teams shipping connected hardware and tired of their own demo dropping out.
Rate $70 – $90 USD / hour · fixed-fee and retainer available
What you get
- Edge gateway stack
- BalenaOS or K3s, with your broker, your config, and over-the-air updates.
- Device identity
- X.509 / EST enrollment, hardware-backed keys (TPM / SE), short-lived certificates.
- Resilient messaging
- MQTT 5, store-and-forward, QoS policies, dead-letter handling.
- Power profile
- sleep schedules, batching, delta encoding, so your battery math actually works.
- Fleet observability
- per-device health, OTA success rate, last-seen, command latency.
How we engage
- 01
Field audit (1 week)
We instrument a real device, run it on a real network, and write a one-page “where you’ll lose data” report.
- 02
Reference firmware + cloud pipeline
Production-grade, written in your stack, with a test harness.
- 03
Pilot support
On-call for the first 1,000 devices in the field.
