Challenge

An IoT solutions provider needed gateways to collect data from battery-powered sensors in warehouses and vehicles and send it to the cloud.

Off-the-shelf gateways consumed too much power and did not fit its use cases:

High power consumption in existing gateways.
Need for reliable cloud connectivity in challenging environments.
Tight go-to-market deadlines.
Requirement for secure remote updates.

The provider needed custom gateways delivered quickly to meet customer commitments.

Solution

Winklix designed the gateway firmware and cloud connectivity stack.

Low-power firmware

Firmware optimised for sleep modes and efficient radio use extends battery life.

Multi-protocol connectivity

BLE and LoRaWAN support for sensors, with cellular or Wi-Fi backhaul.

Cloud integration

Secure MQTT connectivity to AWS IoT Core with device provisioning.

OTA updates

Secure over-the-air firmware updates for devices in the field.
