What vendor-neutral means
Freedom at every layer of your IoT solution.
Any hardware
Use sensors and gateways from any manufacturer. Missing a device? Create your own device type.
Any network
LoRaWAN, public or private, plus Sigfox, LTE-M, NB-IoT, 5G and private gateways.
Any protocol
HTTP, MQTT, CoAP, Modbus TCP, OPC UA, BACnet, M-Bus and Bluetooth.
Open API
A documented REST API and webhooks give you access to your data at any time.
Your data
You own your data and decide how it is used.
Your deployment
Run it in the cloud, on-premise or as a hybrid, whatever your requirements are.
Locked-in or vendor-neutral?
What changes when the platform is not tied to one supplier.
| A locked-in platform | A vendor-neutral platform | |
|---|---|---|
| Hardware | Tied to one manufacturer’s devices | Sensors from any manufacturer |
| Network | One network or operator | Public, private and cellular networks, mixed as needed |
| Data | Held in a closed format | Open API, and you own the data |
| Changing supplier | Re-platform and rewire | Swap sensors or networks and keep the platform |
Mix, match and grow
Start small and change your mind later.
Ready-made decoders
Hundreds of popular sensors work out of the box, and new decoders are added regularly.
Start small
The Starter Pack gives you pre-selected sensors and gateway connectivity. Contact us for the exact scope and price.

What does vendor-neutral mean?
The platform is not tied to one hardware maker, network or cloud. You choose sensors, networks and deployment, and keep one platform and your data.
Which sensors work with Sensor-Online?
Hundreds of popular sensors have ready-made decoders. If yours is missing, you can create a custom device type and decoder.
Which networks can I use?
LoRaWAN (public or private), Sigfox, LTE-M, NB-IoT, 5G and private gateways.
Do I own my data?
Yes. You own your data and decide how it is used, and the open API lets you access it at any time.
Can I switch hardware later?
Yes. Because the platform is hardware and network agnostic, you can add or change sensors and networks without changing platform.
Is it SaaS or on-premise?
Both. Choose cloud, on-premise or a hybrid, depending on your security requirements.
