WHY MAINFLUX

DEVELOPER AND USER FRIENDLY
SIMPLE AND FAST DEPLOYMENT

Exclude demanding development and maintenance of software technology and server infrastructure. Minimize deployment risks, costs, time and requirements.

With SDKs and pre-built client libraries, setup is quick and easy, enabling developers to save implementation time.

Mainflux’s back-end cloud platform configuration and open APIs provide the ability to easily connect any device or sensor without modification or adjustment, saving customers and end-users valuable time by simplifying the entire configuration process. With built-in platform graphic elements (integrated visualization and analytical tools) customers can quickly create screens, dashboards and analytics ready for use.

SCALABILITY AND SPEED
LARGE SCALE DEPLOYMENTS AND HUGE TRANSACTIONS

Our platform has the capacity to manage large-scale device deployments and extreme volume transaction.

Mainflux architecture ensures indispensable performance required in large Internet of Things project deployments such as cloud scale data reads per day, concurrent user applications and very large device networks.

PROTOCOL FLEXIBILITY
KEY IOT PROTOCOLS SUPPORTED

Mainflux platform supports many Internet of Things protocols including MQTT, Websockets, CoAP, and restAPI.

This allows fast data integration and communication between the wide range of different connected assets, entities and systems, such as machines, enterprise applications, networking devices, systems (3rd party device clouds, hubs, routers, servers, gateways, peripheral and user interfaces).

Customers are freed from typical barriers and project delays so they can shorten the IoT project to market time without additional costs and expenses.

HARDWARE AND DEVICE AGNOSTIC
COMPATIBLITY WITH ANY NETWORKING HARDWARE AND SMART DEVICE

Mainflux platform is compatible with any networking hardware and an intelligent device.

With pre-built client libraries, we offer customers the ability to select the solution that responds to their business needs and operational requirements in the best possible manner.

You can easily enable web connectivity to any of your assets whether they are machines, devices, objects, users or physical environment.

DATA SECURITY - FAULT TOLERANT
COMPREHENSIVE CYBERSECURITY SYSTEM

With our comprehensive cybersecurity system, customer data is safe and secure – first by persisting data in multiple fault-tolerant scalable storage locations and second through the hierarchical administration of users, user group asset and asset group profiles and thirdly by encrypting all communication between end-user clients, networked devices and the Mainflux cloud.

This ensures that Mainflux’s security system is protected and safe from any single point of failure while providing full control and API access to the underlying data.

HARDWARE EXPERTISE
FOR BEST COST-QUALITY RELATED SOLUTIONS

With extensive practical experience and deep knowledge of hardware and intelligent devices, our team can provide operational expertise for the optimal cost-quality related solutions and support needed for any IoT project. This expertise includes all functional aspects of the networking technology required for connecting assets from the vast market place of manufacturers.

Additionally, we have developed the open source hardware platform WeIO. Awarded as the best open source project by Postscapes and presented at multiple conferences such as; Linux.com, OSCON Portland, New York Makefaire,Techcrunch Disrupt London and others.

OPEN SOURCE AND PATENT FREE
PUBLISHED UNDER LIBERAL APACHE v2.0 LICENSE

The Mainflux cloud platform is an actilvely participated community initiative guided and driven by the Mainflux project team experts.

The core cloud software is open sourced so that industry participants can inspect, change and adapt the software to their own needs while still obtaining industry leading support. We strongly believe that open source provides high-quality, verified bug-free code and increases cybersecurity which is a threat in all industries.

Mainflux cloud is published under the very permissive Apache v2.0 license which guarantees patent-free software usable by the industry in proprietary and commercial products. All the Mainflux source code, product and development information can be found on project’s official GitHub page.

LoRa INTEGRATION
FOR BEST COST-QUALITY RELATED SOLUTIONS

The LoRaWAN (Low Power Wide Area Network LPWAN) technology is ideal for use in battery operated sensors and low power applications providing an alternative energy efficient option to M2M cellular connectivity.

LoRaWAN provides the ability to cover entire cities or states with a few base stations. This removes the need for large upfront rollouts and maintenance of thousands of network nodes typical in traditional cellular networking. This has made the deployment of IoT solutions a reality now with minimal infrastructure investment.
