Empowering real-time IoT data management for global device connectivity

Our IoT partner wanted to develop an infrastructure and connectivity solution to centralise and monitor their full fleet of IoT devices in real-time, which generated thousands of messages per second in several formats while being able to exploit it from the cloud.

We needed to design an architecture capable of handling such high-frequency message scenarios, with complexities in terms of networking, typology of messages and performance and storage challenges.

We developed an infrastructure able to ingest messages delivered by devices connected to a narrowband network in real-time. Also, a Web API to supply a set of essential device and message operations to network providers. This was a high-performance system, able to collect thousands of messages per second and millions of devices. To achieve that, we used cutting-edge technologies in the cloud and a serverless approach as well.

We also built a dashboard application, where users could monitor, manage and control their own devices. Any user could see the data sent by the device in real-time, as well as send commands to it and view the status and other device metadata.

Our use of cutting-edge technologies and a serverless approach allowed us to collect thousands of messages per second and millions of devices, providing users with real-time data and maximized control.
