Notehub: Data Mastery to Power Intelligent Applications
With Notehub, our cloud orchestration layer for healthcare, routing your data to the cloud has never been easier.
Treat Notehub as your command-and-control center for secure bi-directional data flow, streamlined provisioning at scale, and real-time device management.
It natively supports secure routing to major cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, GCP, Snowflake, and numerous other cloud platforms — often in a “no-code” implementation.

Isolated Security Channel
Cellular IoT provides an isolated and secure channel for retail transactions that operate independently from local Wi-Fi networks, reducing the risk of hacks and data breaches.
Uninterrupted Business
Automatic failover access to multiple radio access technologies ensures there is no downtime for your retail operations, even if one network link fails.
Generate Recurring Revenue
With Notehub, device manufacturers can enable commercial customers with multiple properties to monitor all their systems from a single touchpoint; access to this live data can be charged as a subscription.
Reliable Connectivity
Independence from Wi-Fi means retailers can deploy IoT devices in remote retail locations, large warehouses, or regions with sparse internet coverage, maintaining uninterrupted connectivity for critical business operations.
Scale Globally, Simply
Notecard offers instant connectivity with global cellular networks without changing hardware. This eliminates the need for complex on-site networking hardware and IT configuration.
Optimize with Real-Time
Real-time data gives retailers continuous access to inventory levels, environmental conditions, and customer interactions, enabling businesses to optimize operational efficiency and create more responsive and personalized retail experiences.
