At last week’s Embedded World in Nuremberg, wireless mesh specialist NeoCortec announced multiplatform open-source software to streamline integration between its NeoMesh network and upper-level systems, whether deployed in the cloud or on premises.

The Danish firm makes the NeoMesh low-power bi-directional wireless mesh networking protocol stack.

The upgraded version of the NeoGW software introduces tight integration with MQTT, enabling seamless connectivity with most major cloud platforms. By aligning message structures more closely with cloud-native expectations, the software simplifies data exchange and accelerates deployment for organisations building intelligent, connected wireless NeoMesh networks.

“NeoGW has always been a key component in bridging NeoMesh networks with enterprise systems,” said Thomas Steen Halkier, CEO at NeoCortec. “With native MQTT integration and improved message alignment for cloud environments, we are making it significantly easier for our customers to connect their NeoMesh deployments to the platforms they rely on.”

In addition to the NeoGW update, NeoCortec is launching a web-based network management application. The application interfaces directly with the upgraded NeoGW software and enables system administrators to manage individual networks or entire fleets of networks from a centralised point.

“It is a management tool for people installing the network,” said Halkier. “It shows where the weak spots are.”

The tool provides improved usability, visibility and control. Together, NeoGW and the web application provide a framework for designing, deploying and managing complete NeoMesh-based networks.

The scalable mesh network technology is complemented by robust integration capabilities that extend from the network layer to application intelligence whether at the edge or in the cloud. This unified approach helps organisations build end-to-end IoT and distributed systems architectures with more efficiency and flexibility.

NeoCortec (www.neocortec.com) was founded in 2007 with the aim of developing and patenting several innovations related to wireless sensor networks. NeoMesh is a wireless communication protocol to be embedded in smart devices to enable communication between the devices as well as to the cloud. NeoMesh is built from scratch to overcome some of the limitations that Zigbee, Zwave, Bluetooth and Thread have in terms of scalability in number of devices, range and power consumption.
