Leverage Easy APIs With Broad Wireless Support
Blues has easy-to-use APIs for our plug-and-play wireless modules, enabling you to drop connectivity into your product and get data flowing to the cloud in minutes:
- Developer-friendly JSON APIs abstract away fragile and vendor-specific AT commands, ensuring Radio Access Technology-independence and long-term maintainability
- Interchangeable Notecard modules support LTE Cat 1, LTE Cat 1 bis, LTE Cat M, 3G, 2G, NB-IoT, Skylo, LoRaWAN, and WiFi, while Starnote supports Iridium LEO and Skylo GEO satellite connectivity, providing you with both primary and fallback wireless connectivity for any scenario
- Notecards work with your choice of MCU or RTOS and your choice of interface: I2C, UART, or USB
Shape and Route Data Reliably and Securely
Blues simply, quickly and securely gets data from your product to your desired cloud endpoint, bridging device and cloud with a single easy-to-understand system:
- Blues allows you to structure your device’s data in easy-to-use, human-readable JSON and leverages transport-tuned compression methods for sending via cellular sockets or tiny satellite packets
- Notehub dynamically and reliably routes data to the cloud endpoint(s) of your choosing, with optional JSONata transformations and redactions en route, and including the robust retry, tracing, and logging needed to ensure proper handling of your product’s critical data flow
- Notehub routing options include HTTPS, MQTT, AWS, Azure, GCP, Snowflake, and many more
Bypass the Hardest Engineering Challenges

- Notehub supports zero-touch secure device provisioning, without the need for per-device key distribution, without carrier KYC requirements, and without headaches related to temporary roaming
- Notehub provides best-in-class tools for organizing, configuring and managing your fleet of connected products, including secure, scalable over-the-air updates for your host MCU and Notecard
