How Blues Wireless Provides The Best Time-To-Market
There are many ways to build IoT projects. The Blues Wireless way contains everything you need for Cellular or WiFi connectivity out of the box. You can go from unboxing our product to sending arbitrary sensor data over the cellular network right to your cloud application in 30 minutes or less.
The Blues Wireless integrated approach gives you stability with flexibility. All Blues Wireless hardware is precertified for PTCRB and FCC. Our integrated approach is repeatable and scalable to millions of devices while giving you the flexibility to bring your own MCU or hardware architecture. Take your end product to market in less than 6 months.
Blues Wireless Alternatives - Quectel or Ublox
Some customers choose to build their product from the ground up with a cellular modem or module from Quectel or UBlox. This approach often requires more custom development upfront, and more production support over time, simply because the onus is on your team to solve a larger quantity of problems.
Because Blues Wireless provides a fully integrated package, you'll have a bi-directional connection over the cellular network from your device to your chosen cloud apps by integrating our Notecard onto your device, then configuring the route to your cloud app with our Notehub application.
Blues Wireless Alternatives - Hologram or Kore Wireless
If you choose the build-it-yourself path, you'll need to procure a SIM for each device you want to be connected to the cellular network. Popular SIM vendors include Hologram or Kore Wireless. Additionally, you'll also need to procure a cellular module containing a cellular modem.
Blues Wireless provides an out-of-the-box module with a cellular modem, SIM, cryptography, accelerometer, and GPS/GNSS components integrated. This means you can avoid selecting, procuring, integrating, and supporting the lower-level components, giving you more time back in your design cycles.
Blues Wireless Alternatives - Particle
Some customers prefer to use more integrated cellular IoT solutions like those provided by Particle.io. Particle provides a full solution but some customers prefer to purchase IoT connectivity without contracts, subscription prices, or even per-device monthly fees.
The Blues Wireless model provides full capability, including prepaid cellular data, without needing to sign a contract or pay either subscription or per-device monthly fees. Our approach is often easier for customers to adopt and sustain.
