Software Innovation
"Software is eating the World"
In 2011, Marc Andreesen contributed an essay to The Wall Street Journal about the importance of software to our digital future. Naturally, as a hardware supplier, we took notice. But it wasn't Andreesen's wisdom or IoT technology trends that drove us to expand our software offerings, but customer demands. The goal: to make development, deployment and management of IoT technology solutions as simple as possible.
When it comes to IoT innovation, companies must remain versatile with their offerings to keep up. MultiTech’s long history with this technology gives us the experience to develop powerful and intuitive software for a wide range of applications.
Programmable embedded software provides enhanced security and enables task execution at the edge for reduced latency and cost optimization.
mPower™ Edge Intelligence is a new embedded software offering, building on its popular application enablement platform, to deliver programmability, network flexibility, enhanced security and manageability for scalable Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) solutions.
mPower represents the unification and evolution of well-established MultiTech smart router and gateway firmware platforms. In addition to ongoing support of the current feature-sets, gateway customers can enjoy the additional security features currently available on the MultiConnect® rCell 100 Series.
mPower Edge Intelligence simplifies integration with a variety of popular upstream IoT platforms to streamline edge-to-cloud data management and analytics, while also providing the programmability and processing capability to execute critical tasks at the edge of the network to reduce latency; control network and cloud services costs, and ensure core functionality – even in instances when network connectivity may not be available.
