Avoid Needless Infrastructure Development
Blues' device-to-cloud system saves you money by focusing your team on creating business value, not reinventing product connectivity and device management:
- Wireless connectivity, enterprise-grade security, reliable cloud data routing, and powerful and flexible device and fleet management tools are all provided as part of the Blues device-to-cloud system, so you don’t need to develop these capabilities or integrate different platforms to use them
- Blues enables you to deploy secure, robust connectivity across a broad range of wireless technologies without needing to hire engineers specialized in cellular, satellite, or LoRa device certification, or IoT-focused networking and security
- Blues invests in keeping up with emerging cellular and satellite technologies as well as the latest security threats so that you can cost-effectively leverage our efforts, instead of wasting time and resources covering the same ground
Remove Carrier Complexity and Locked-In Spend
Blues eliminates cost commitments and complexities associated with carrier contracts:
- Notecard and Starnote enable you to integrate cellular and satellite connectivity into your products without carrier subscriptions or ongoing commitments – pay only for the cellular and satellite data you use
- Use Notehub to simply, economically, and automatically manage data plan “top-ups” if and as each of your devices requires
- Blues’ wireless modules are pre-certified, bypassing the complexity of cellular and satellite carrier certifications and the risk of unexpected approval fees prior to pilot, launch, or each time you revise your product
Align Costs to Real Deployment Growth
With Blues, costs are easy to predict and get lower as you scale:
- Notehub’s simple consumption-based pricing means you pay only for devices and events you use, with discounts based on volume
- Purchase Notecards and Starnotes as needed, whether it's single unit quantity for prototyping, buying by the tray for your pilot, or entering into a volume purchase agreement that passes manufacturing and components savings along to you when you're ready to scale
- Blues' flexible approach to volume purchase contracts can align with either CapEx- (up front) or OpEx- (subscription) centric business models, tailored to your go-to-market
- Customize your wireless module with Notecard XP, stripping out unneeded components to further reduce hardware and manufacturing cost as you prove out your business case and grow from initial rollout to larger deployments
Reduce Cloud Processing Costs
Blues lets your cloud spending go further by focusing your application logic on the data that matters most:
- Use Notehub’s Notefile routing, JSONata transform and Smart Fleets capabilities to filter and redact events on route prior to forwarding them to your designated cloud endpoint
- Use Notehub’s JSONata transforms to normalize and shrink payloads to reduce potential data transfer and processing fees at your designated cloud endpoint
