The collaboration marks a significant step forward in the development of integrated IoT solutions and combines ByteSnap Design’s expertise in embedded systems development with Particle’s robust IoT infrastructure to deliver enhanced connectivity solutions to industries ranging from automotive to healthcare and smart cities.
Working together, ByteSnap Design and Particle said that they want to simplify the IoT development process with embeddable modules and off-the-shelf gateways, all integrated into the Particle IoT Platform-as-a-Service. This will allow for the faster deployment of smart, connected products.
At this year’s EDS event, running from 9-10 October 2024, ByteSnap will showcase a demo that combines mmWave technology with Particle's IoT platform for advanced remote sensor management. The centrepiece will be a "spinning head" mechanism, tuned to track movement across a wide field of view in real time, highlighting its ability to monitor people and occupancy.
With Particle's Photon 2 Wi-Fi development board and the IoT Platform-as-a-Service, sensor data can be sent to the cloud for instant analytics, remote management, and diagnostics. Using mmWave technology, the system discreetly tracks individuals without cameras, ensuring privacy by never storing personal data.
The partnership is set to kick off with a series of joint development projects, including an IoT module that provides enterprise-grade security and easy integration across various platforms and devices.
ByteSnap has developed IoT solutions for diverse sectors, including software for electric vehicle charging for major brands, smart home systems, environmental monitoring tools, healthcare monitoring devices, and agricultural technologies, though specific large brand names they've worked with on these projects are not publicly disclosed.
"By combining our deep knowledge of embedded systems with Particle’s cutting-edge IoT technology, we are poised to offer our clients unparalleled integrated solutions," said Graeme Wintle, Director at ByteSnap Design. "This partnership underscores our commitment to remaining at the forefront of the development of connected devices that meet the evolving needs of our customers."
