Build your way
Use what you already know and trust, change when needed
Compatible with your Preferred Ecosystem
Blues integrates seamlessly with your preferred development tools and technologies, cloud platform and enterprise systems, all without custom integration work:
- Write firmware in your preferred development language and pick any Real-Time Operating System and know that it will work with your Notecard
- Choose any host MCU or single-board computer and be confident that all of them will work with your Notecard
- Use Notehub as your "mission control" to determine what data goes where, dynamically and securely routing your product data to your existing cloud service, or fanning your data out to multiple services
Use The Technologies Right For Your Product
Blues was designed from the outset to give you freedom of choice and freedom to change, letting you easily replace part or all of your system as you grow:
- Notecard supports 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 networks, providing you with simple primary and fallback wireless connectivity for any scenario
- Notecards share standard APIs, making it easy to update your wireless connectivity decisions without incurring significant code or hardware changes
- Notehub lets you route data to most any cloud endpoint you want, using either dedicated integrations or simple standards-based protocols
Change as Needed, When Needed
Blues supports fleet-wide updates, from simple configuration changes through complete “brain transplants”, in active connected products deployed in the field:
- Our secure, scalable support for firmware updates for Notecard and your product’s own MCU let you keep your application code current and stay compliant with evolving regulatory requirements
- Notecard provides a secure, brickless hardware-based OTA update mechanism that enables your host MCU firmware (and even its RTOS) to be safely and reliably updated at any time, allowing you to keep your application code current, address issues in the field, and recover unresponsive devices
- When migrating between cloud service endpoints, Notehub's managed data routing makes it easy to run "before" and "after" systems in parallel while maintaining continuous availability of your running service
