I. Adding connected intelligence to a product is a long and expensive
process for large OEMs and integrators.
II. Existing wireless technologies limit scale, add cost, and lower ROI.
III. Product companies underestimate the complexities and importance of
a robust data management application.
IoT Product Development is Hard

Symphony Link
Long Range, Low Power
Covers whole buildings to whole neighborhoods and is seamlessly
integrated to product data cloud with little integration.
- 10+ Years Battery Life- 10,000+ Connections per Gateway- Bi-Directional Data Communication
Everywhere, expensive, energy
Ubiquitous, but costly for service and hardware. Expensive and time consuming to develop new cellular products.
High density, short range
Works well for high, uniform density of connections, at short range.

Connectivity for Enterprise and Industrial Products
Replace High Density CellularSymphony Link has proven to be an effective replacement for cellular connections in fixed, medium-to-high density install
bases. Alarm panels and airport asset tracking are examples.
Battery Powered WhitespaceFor battery powered sensors and controllers, long range
wireless has not previously been possible. Symphony Link has successfully be integrated into wireless door locks,
parking sensors, and water meters.
