Our Expertise
It is unusual for an electronic device to not include some IoT functionality: WiFi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, LoRa, and many other communications protocols allow a product to download updates, upload telemetry, or stay in contact with a cloud service such as AWS or Google Cloud. Porticos engineers are familiar with nearly every standard and use-case imaginable; even satellite communications!
Most devices incorporate more than one mode of wireless connectivity. Consider your smartphone. It probably incorporates:
- Bluetooth
- WiFi
- LTE
- GPS
- NFC
The Porticos-designed DropBlock is both an IoT device and an IoT gateway for other nearby devices. It even incorporates satellite communications.
