Visit the Interactive ioBridge Exhibit at the Connected World Conference, June 10-12

June 6, 2013 By Leave a Comment

Connect World LogoFollowing the The Connected World M2M App Challenge, ioBridge will be exhibiting at the Connected World Conference from June 10-12 at the Santa Clara Convention Center. We have prepared an interactive booth displaying our connected products, some of our customer products, and the latest technology that we have to offer. Our booth theme is “Embedded / Cloud / Apps” – we have put together the most complete set of tools for OEMs and professionals to build connected products and services. We believe that connected products should be out-of-the-box and have seamless cloud connectivity. This is the focus of our research, patents, and technology offerings. But, we extend this to cloud by offering APIs and services that are common in many product situations. The last piece of the puzzle is Apps. Apps are how users connect with these products and services. We believe this should be the focus of OEMs development not the connectivity and scale challenges. We have tried to make a compelling solution among the embedded side, cloud connectivity and services, and applications.

Visit the ioBridge exhibit (booth #207) and check out the latest connected products and services! We hope to see you there. Follow hashtag #CWConf13 to see what’s happening via Twitter.

IoT Hackathon Sponsors

ioBridge will also be providing an exclusive hardware development kit that is integrated with our RealTime.io platform. This means that you will be able to make simple RESTful API calls and control physical objects and connect to external web services such as Twilio, Twitter, and ThingSpeak. The M2M Challenge Kit is based on the ioBridge Iota Wi-Fi module. This tiny embedded module contains everything you need to connect products to cloud services. The kit includes buttons, switches, LEDs, relays, light sensor, temperature sensor, and a buzzer. For more detail on ioBridge’s M2M Challenge Kit check out Connected World’s article.

Microchip Names ioBridge Its First Embedded Cloud Design Partner Specialist to Develop Internet of Things Solutions

May 15, 2013 By 1 Comment

We are very proud to announce a design partnership with Microchip, a leading provider of microcontroller, mixed-signal, analog and Flash-IP solutions.

Microchip Embedded Cloud Design Partner

ioBridge, Inc. announced today that Microchip Technology Inc. selected ioBridge to be its first “Embedded Cloud” design partner. Embedded cloud technology allows products based on Microchip’s embedded control solutions to be Internet-connected via ioBridge firmware and protocols, to leverage ioBridge Internet services such as remote firmware upgrades, alerting, remote monitoring, and remote control via mobile apps.

“This design partnership with Microchip brings Internet of Things solutions to low-powered processors and embedded systems at a low-cost,” said Dr. Robert Mawrey, CEO of ioBridge. “Customers and developers looking to get to market quickly will benefit from having a seamless integration between embedded technology and cloud services.”

Since 2008, ioBridge has been selling patented Web gateways that incorporate Microchip’s devices and are used by thousands of customers to connect almost anything to the Internet. Applications are diverse, ranging from smart energy management to agricultural automation and monitoring. In recent years, ioBridge has successfully Internet enabled consumer products using Microchip’s embedded Wi-Fi® technology.

“We are thrilled to name ioBridge as Microchip’s very first Embedded Cloud Design Partner Specialist,” said Cheri Keller, senior manager of Microchip’s Design Partner Program. “The biggest challenge our clients face in cloud-enabling their products is bridging the gap between embedded design and IT professionals. ioBridge’s expertise in building Microchip-based Web gateways enables our clients to eliminate this hurdle and speed their time to market.”

To get started with your product design, contact ioBridge and we will get you to market quickly.

RealTime.io IoT Platform Updates

May 6, 2013 By Leave a Comment

ioBridge updates the RealTime.io Internet of Things platform with many developer friendly enhancements. RealTime.io allows you to write web applications based on HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript and create interactions with devices, social networks, external APIs, and ioBridge web services. We added an in-browser code editor, JavaScript library, app update tracking, device manager, and single sign on with existing ioBridge user accounts. RealTime.io natively works with ioBridge Iota based devices and firmware. Iota’s are tiny embedded modules with either Ethernet or Wi-Fi network connectivity. An ioBridge Iota evaluation kit is available on the ioBridge Store.

ioBridge RealTime.io Platform for the Internet of Things

RealTime.io is a cloud platform for the Internet of Things. Everything is API driven and perfect for hardware developers and web developers. By providing API abstraction, developers are able to create prototype connected projects and transition to production products very quickly.

Adding cloud interactivity to a product is possible with an ioBridge Iota embedded wireless module, embedded firmware on your product, or via an ioBridge Gateway.

For more information about RealTime.io, view RealTime.io Documentation on ioBridge Connect.
