Bitpool Edge

Tools to visually build IoT solutions

What is Bitpool Edge?

Bitpool-Edge is a collection of hardware products and software services which perform the function of collecting Internet of Things (IoT) data from the real-world, as close to its source as possible.

The term edge relates to distributed information technology, and refers to the mechanisms which reside on the periphery of client networks.

At Bitpool, we have built our edge solutions in conjunction with some of the worlds leading IoT vendors to create a friction-less experience to collect and process data from our customer edge networks.

The documentation below supports our current offering, for free and commercial solutions that live on the edge...
