BehrTech
CEO: Albert Behr
BehrTech claims to have a better solution for low-power, wide-area networks in industrial Internet of Things deployments with its recently launched MyThings software platform.
The new platform uses a new LPWAN protocol licensed from the Fraunhofer Institute called MIOTY that BehrTech says has much lower interference than LoRa, the proprietary long-range wireless protocol that has been popular in IoT. Because MyThings is a software overlay, the company says it can work with standard gateways and sensors, allowing for easy integration into legacy environments.
Most recently, the Toronto-based company said that Advantech will provide a MyThings module for the M2.Com sensor platform. Other ecosystem partners include Intel, Hitachi Solutions, Microsoft, Axonize and Synaptic Technologies.
