In the rapidly changing smart home market, it is crucial for solution providers to stay up to date with the newest developments. The new 2nd generation of Squid.link are highly flexible, secure, and future-proof gateways. They support multiple communication protocols and offer several security, CPU, and memory options. This way, they enable solution providers to create a solution fully matching their needs. Thanks to the modular structure of the gateways, they are cost-effective as solution providers only pay for the features they need.

With the market-ready, white label gateways, solution providers can skip a lengthy product development process and quickly enter into the smart home market with a solution in their own brand. The gateways’ different customization options ensure the gateways will fit the visual identity of your organization. The gateways’ flexible and easy-to-use software architecture facilitates easy configuration of an IoT solution without the need of programming.

Choose the gateway that fits your solution

The 2nd generation of Squid.link gateways includes two variants; the Squid.link 2B and the Squid.link 2X. The Squid.link 2B is the basic version of the new gateways and is ideal for running most IoT solutions.

Integrate various devices in your smart home solution

The 2nd generation of Squid.link gateways supports various communication protocols. The gateways can communicate via Zigbee 3.0, Bluetooth 5 and Bluetooth Low Energy, Z-Wave Plus, Wireless M-Bus, WLAN, and cellular networks. These protocols enable you to create your own smart home solution that integrates various devices according to your and your customers’ needs.

With Zigbee 3.0 and Z-Wave Plus, you are able to integrate different sensors and alarms into your smart home solution through the 2nd generation Squid.link gateways. Enable your customers to automate their homes and automatically turn on the lights when entering the room through an Entry Sensor or remotely turn on and off appliances with the Smart Plug Mini 2. Wireless alarms, such as the Intelligent Smoke Alarm or Water Leak Detector, can give warnings in cases of fire or floods to your customers’ phones and enable them to act immediately.

You can further enable your customers to track their energy consumption through the smart home solution. Thanks to smart meters that can be connected to the Squid.link gateways via Wireless M-bus, your customers are able to keep an eye on their overall energy consumption. With Zigbee-enabled Smart Plugs and Smart Cables, the energy consumption of appliances can be monitored.
