BehrTech

CEO: Albert Behr

BehrTech is taking a software-oriented approach to low-power, wide-area networks for industrial IoT with a solution that has lower interference than the proprietary LoRa long-range protocol.

The Toronto-based startup in May announced that it has received a grant of more than $3 million to develop next-generation wireless connectivity for IoT from a joint funding program through the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada and the Canada Foundation for Innovation.

This year, the company released a massive update for its MYTHINGs Central software platform, which included back-end integration with cloud solutions like Microsoft Azure, Amazon Web Services and Cumulocity. The company also partnered with Andorix to enable multiple IoT solutions in commercial buildings managed by QuadReal Property Group.
