Streamline Deployment, Unlock Value

Global IoT hardware leader Bivocom and premier open-source IoT platform ThingsBoard have announced a strategic partnership. This collaboration seamlessly integrates Bivocom’s rugged, reliable industrial gateways with ThingsBoard’s flexible, powerful data platform. It delivers a highly integrated IIoT solution that streamlines the full workflow from device connectivity to data visualization. It lowers technical barriers, enabling businesses across diverse industries to deploy IIoT applications quickly and efficiently.

1+1>2 Synergy: Supercharge IIoT Efficiency

This partnership delivers deep integration of Bivocom’s hardware expertise with ThingsBoard’s platform intelligence. It addresses two core pain points in industrial IoT: complex system integration and inefficient data transmission. Together, they build a clear, scalable synergy architecture.

Bivocom: Rugged Hardware

Bivocom’s industrial-grade hardware (GNSS/LoRa/5G routers, gateways, and RTUs) deliver the reliability and flexibility needed for demanding IoT environments. Built to operate in -35°C to +75°C temperatures with IP30/IP67 protection and dual SIM redundancy, they thrive in factories, remote sites, and harsh outdoor conditions. The devices natively support MQTT, Modbus RTU/TCP, and HTTP. They connect seamlessly to legacy machines, smart sensors, and controllers via rich interfaces (RS232, RS485, RJ45, Wi-Fi, GPS, DI/DO). Edge gateways provide robust computing and flexible development environments. They support multiple operating systems—including OpenWrt, Ubuntu, and Bivocom OS—with built-in support for Python, C/C++, and Docker containers. This enables seamless customization and local intelligence at the edge. Our devices adhere to mainstream international certifications like EN 18031, FCC, NGS, and CE, ensuring operational security and regulatory alignment.

ThingsBoard: Open-Source Platform

The ThingsBoard open-source IoT platform brings scalable data management and actionable insights. Its intuitive web interface simplifies device onboarding, configuration, and monitoring. Users can centrally manage thousands of devices from a single dashboard. With 30+ customizable widgets (charts, maps, alarm tables), it transforms raw data into clear visualizations. Its drag-and-drop rule engine enables precise, automated alerting. The platform supports cloud, on-premise, and hybrid deployments. It features multi-tenancy and horizontal scaling, allowing growth from pilot projects to million-device networks without heavy coding or prohibitive costs.

Together, they form an integrated ecosystem that outperforms standalone solutions:

• Unified Connectivity & Integration: Bivocom gateways resolve field-level fragmentation, connecting diverse devices via native industrial protocols and standardizing data flow into ThingsBoard. This eliminates custom middleware, cutting integration time and providing a true plug-and-play experience.
• Optimized Data Flow: Leveraging Bivocom’s edge computing power, data is filtered, aggregated, and analyzed locally. This reduces bandwidth and cloud storage costs by 30-50%, while enabling low-latency control. ThingsBoard’s cloud platform then focuses on cross-asset analytics, advanced rule engines, and global visualization, creating a responsive and cost-effective layered architecture.
• Mission-Critical Reliability: The combination of Bivocom’s hardware robustness—featuring wide voltage input, communication redundancy, and failover mechanisms—with ThingsBoard’s high-availability cluster deployment ensures system uptime. Data integrity is maintained through network outages, supporting the most demanding applications in mission-critical use cases.
• Simplified Management: Centralized device oversight, remote configuration, and proactive alerts eliminate on-site maintenance headaches, slashing operational costs.

Strategic Vision for a Unified IoT Ecosystem

Bivocom is committed to expanding its global IIoT ecosystem through strategic partnerships with leading platforms like ThingsBoard. This collaboration underscores Bivocom’s dedication to delivering integrated hardware-software turnkey solutions, accelerating customer time-to-value and making IoT accessible to businesses of all sizes.

ThingsBoard’s mission to democratize powerful, open-source IoT technology aligns seamlessly with the demand for accessible industrial digitalization. By combining strengths, the two parties deliver a robust, integrated stack that simplifies the path from sensor to insight for global users. This synergy also extends the platform’s reach to harsh industrial environments, enabling more businesses to unlock IoT data value without prohibitive upfront costs.
