The TiWiConnect Internet of Things (IoT) platform is designed to simplify and accelerate the process of adding wireless/cloud connectivity and smartphone-controlled capabilities to IoT products. The platform is an end-to-end solution that provides three components companies need for their IoT design projects: the embedded wireless module and related software, which together add Wi-Fi capabilities to a product; the cloud server software and hosting services necessary to access and manage the product from anywhere; and mobile app solutions that make the products controllable via smartphones.
