mangOH
Red
®
recognized for technology innovation with 2018 IoT Breakthrough Award
VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)--January 4, 2018--Sierra
Wireless (NASDAQ: SWIR) (TSX: SW), the leading provider of fully
integrated device-to-cloud solutions for the Internet of Things (IoT),
today announced that the mangOH Red
®
open source
hardware platform has been recognized with the IoT Breakthrough Award
for IoT Development Tool of the Year.
Targeted at the industrial IoT and maker communities, mangOH Red is the
most feature-rich, lowest power open source enablement platform on the
market. Smaller than a credit card, it includes all of the building
blocks needed to prototype and test ideas in days instead of months,
with minimal investment. mangOH Red designs can then be modified and
repurposed for mass production using its industrial-grade components and
applications developed in the Legato
®
open source Linux
platform.
“One of the greatest challenges that developers of industrial-grade IoT
products face is testing and getting product concepts to market
quickly,” said Philippe Guillemette, Chief Technology Officer, Sierra
Wireless. “Loaded with features on one compact, easy-to-use board,
mangOH Red makes it painless for developers to transition from idea to
prototype to product. We’re proud to have been recognized with the IoT
Breakthrough Award for supporting the developer community and enabling
innovative IoT projects.”
The IoT Breakthrough Awards recognize excellence in the IoT industry and
honour leading innovative companies, technologies and products. There
are 11 award categories, ranging from Smart City and M2M to Enterprise
IoT and IoT Component. This year, the IoT Breakthrough Awards received
more than 3,000 nominations. For more information, visit
