Atmosphere IoT Corp.

Development platform for connected devices

Atmosphere IoT Corp. offers a development platform and a cloud service for the Internet of Things, the category of connected devices, sensors and the software that links them. The product is built for people who need to take a device from prototype to a deployed system, covering embedded firmware, mobile apps and cloud dashboards. The company says the platform was first released in 2015 and has been used by thousands of developers.

Prototyping in Atmosphere Studio

Atmosphere Studio is a drag-and-drop online development environment. A builder can create device firmware, mobile applications and cloud dashboards there without writing every part by hand, and can move a project from a first prototype into a small commercial pilot. The company presents this route as a low-cost way to test an idea before committing to a large deployment.

Managing devices in the cloud

The Atmosphere Cloud registers devices securely at scale and then manages the devices, their data, their applications and their users from one place. Dashboards, notifications and device and user settings can be customized, and the platform accepts custom data types, so a builder is not limited to a fixed set of sensor readings.

Wireless and partner integrations

The company describes its approach as working with a range of partners across the sector. It has added support for LoRa deployments to make wireless sensor networks quicker to set up. It has also integrated devices from Monnit, including that company's ALTA sensors and gateways, and it describes a joint arrangement with NimbeLink that it says lowers cost and complexity for equipment makers and solution integrators.

White-label and custom projects

Large companies with their own customer bases can license the platform under their own brand, which the company describes as a white-label service. Atmosphere also works directly with businesses and equipment makers to set up cloud-managed systems for particular industries and use cases. The company's stated promise is that a client can start small with a pilot and scale up to a secure, white-labeled service without rebuilding the system.
