With Nabto’s software implemented on the Squid.link gateways, solution providers can invest their resources in developing applications, instead of using extensive time on establishing communication with the gateway. The direct connectivity also eases the process of maintaining IoT devices as software updates can be pushed online.
Hassle-free plug and play
As the Nabto technology supports firewall traversal, there is no need to spend time on manual firewall configuration if the end-users need remote access to the gateway. Moreover, fine-grained access control protects a Squid.link gateway/Nabto IoT solution from intruders.
The solution
A Squid.link gateway and Nabto solution consists of three software components; a cloud service, a software component on the Squid.link gateway, and a software component to the smart phone, browser, or server application:
Smooth installation
With Nabto’s technology implemented on the Squid.link gateway, application developers do not have to invest resources in establishing communication with the gateway. Moreover, the plugin eases the installation process of the Squid.link gateway, enhancing the plug and play functionality and minimizing the need for customer support.
Fast response time
In situations where the time of response to an action is important, for instance when turning on and off the light or unlocking a door, a direct connection between the devices is essential. With Nabto’s technology, latency is low because it is not relaying over a distant central cloud service. This enhances the user experience as a tap on a button results in an instant reaction. For video streaming, direct connectivity is a necessity due to the high costs of cloud relaying.
Advanced technology for staying connected
When the gateway is installed and connected to the internet, only an initial connection to the cloud service is necessary for the direct connection to be established. This connection makes it possible for users or administrators of IoT devices to control these online and push software updates. If the Squid.link gateway is installed on a site where no internet connection is available, the Nabto technology can still communicate between the client and the device in the same local area network.
Secure
The Nabto SDK is secure against unauthorized access, internet outages, and latency issues.
Cost-effective
Nabto's technology reduces development costs and eases the Squid.link Gateways installation process.
Fast response time
Nabto's direct connectivity software ensures that latency is low as it is not relaying over a distant central cloud service.
Nabto
Nabto creates IoT infrastructure, based on a direct connectivity technological approach. It delivers simple, seamless local and remote connectivity to the Internet of Things devices. Each device is identified by a unique, vendor-specified ID. End-users, installers, and automatic data-collectors effortlessly create a secure, online, interactive connection to the device meaning the data in the device can be accessed, or commands to the device can be issued.
The Squid.link gateways
The Squid.link IoT gateways are an extremely flexible solution for connecting networks based on different technologies. The gateways are a modular platform for flexible Home Area Networks (HAN).
With a Squid.link gateway, you are no longer dependent on one vendor but can combine your Home Area Network exactly the way you prefer.
