Frequently Asked Questions
What is Thingsquare and who is it good for?
Thingsquare helps product owners create commercial IoT solutions. Or add IoT features to an existing product.
At the heart of our offering is our IoT platform, a ready-made software suite that can be customized to cover a wide range of needs.
We work with customers from Fortune 500 companies to high-growth startups. Many of our customers do industrial products (lighting, monitoring, sensing), agriculture, electricity, medtech. And since pretty much any type of product or market can become wireless, we are always eager to take on new areas.
Our customers typically have titles like VP of Product, Chief Architect, CTO, Product Owner, Project Manager.
How is Thingsquare different from other IoT offerings?
We do one thing, and we do it well: we build IoT solutions based on wireless mesh networks. With particular focus on massive scale and low power.
Our secret sauce is our technology platform, which is designed to be customized in just the right places.
We tailor the parts that needs to be customized for each customer, while having a solid base to stand on. Read more about our technology platform here.
How much does a typical project cost?
The cost depends on how much custom work is needed and typically fall in the $25000 USD to $200000 USD price range.
All costs are known up-front. You get an initial estimate through the IoT solution planner. The estimate is then refined through the consultation discussions and will be finalized before the project starts.
We also offer the possible to do add-on projects as needed.
Are there any other costs?
We charge a license fee for the use of our IoT platform. This scales with the number of deployed devices and aligns our incentives.
All costs are known up-front and is included in the offer you get as part of the consultation discussions.
Can I deploy the solution to my own cloud or my own data center?
Yes. Our IoT platform can be deployed on a wide range of cloud platforms as well as on dedicated data center servers.
Can you host the backend for us?
Yes, we offer a hosting service for our backend software. It can be deployed on a range of geographic locations.
Do I have to use the cloud?
No. Even though most IoT solutions will use the cloud to provide remote access, data history, and many other features that users need and want, there are several use cases where the Internet is not available or that the cloud is not an option for other reasons. We support the off-line use case by deploying our controller software on a Raspberry Pi-class device in direct vicinity of the deployment site.
Can I integrate the solution with our existing cloud infrastructure?
Yes. Our technology platform is designed to support easy integration with existing cloud infrastructure and we provide integration development as part of our services package.
What wireless protocols do you use?
We use the Internet Protocol (IP) suite. Read all about the technical details of our IoT platform here.
What hardware do you support?
We support a set of Systems-on-a-Chip (SoCs) that we have fine-tuned our software for. Read all about the technical details of our IoT platform here.
