Background

Brick and Byte with the observation that enterprise software severely lagged behind consumer software in affordability and simplicity. We have worked with customers in many industries including smart cities, manufacturing, industrial machinery, and retail. There are still many companies that don’t completely understand how to benefit from the potential advantages of connected products and they are looking for ready-to-use solutions that are quick to implement and bring measurable economic results. Brick and Byte now focus on addressing business needs through end-to-end IoT solutions including an IoT Platform, a suite of IoT software modules, and an IoT Gateway. We began to integrate an IoT Gateway in addition to software to help our customers from start to finish as they build an IoT application that collects data from the edge and brings it to the cloud.

Results

After a long process of looking at several embedded frameworks both commercial and open-source, Brick and chose Eclipse Kura as the standard framework for their IoT Gateway. The IoT Gateway is designed on top of a low-power, ARM-based Freescale processor.
