Securely Get Data to Your Cloud

Notecard to Notehub bi-directional data routing image

The Blues Wireless System

Data encrypted in transit and encryptable at rest using native encryption hardware. All Notecards have a factory-installed ECC P-384 certificate provisioned at chip manufacture.

Notecard supports end-to-end encryption of your data using AES-256 symmetric algorithm based on your RSA public key.

Blues hardware is pre-certified for FCC and PTCRB.

Off-the-internet cellular communications are available in 135+ countries. Avoid the need for IT-managed Wi-Fi networks.

Security features work on both public and private cloud platforms.

Solution Components

Sync data with any cloud application

Native integration with AWS IoT Analytics, Azure, Datacake, Google Cloud Platform, Initial State, ThingSpeak, Ubidots, and your custom (public or private) cloud applications.
Notecard events are JSON and our Notehub.io system will filter and optimize them to your specifications using our routing templates and transformation.

Secure communications by default

From device-to-cloud, your data is secure with Notecard and Notehub.io. Devices are authenticated with secure element keys, and data flows through TLS using encrypted “off the internet” communications and VPN tunnels.

Secure Notecard communications to cloud provider

Cloud-based firmware updates

Eliminate the hassle of remote DFU. Notehub.io allows for both cloud-based MCU host and Notecard firmware updates. Update a single device or an entire fleet with the click of a button.

How to Evaluate Blues Wireless in 30 Minutes or Less

With Blues Wireless, you'll never worry about monthly or consumption fees. Each billing account is refreshed to 5,000 credits each month with the ability to purchase more.

Purchase
You can pick a starter kit based on ESP32, Raspberry Pi, or our own feather-compatible microcontroller Swan.
Unbox
Plug the Notecard into the provided Notecarrier, then connect to your existing hardware.
Start
Follow along with our quickstart. In 30 minutes, you'll have a device connected to the global cellular data network, and data flowing from device to cloud, and back to device again.
Tips
- Feather kit and Swan kit contain MCUs. If you want our Raspberry Pi kit, you'll need your own Pi.
- Swan lets you write code in C/C++, Arduino, and CircuitPython. It's also a powerful MCU and ready to run on edge-based machine learning like Edge Impulse. We have a guide for that.
