We are pleased to announce that Exosite was named to CIO Review Big Data 100, a listing of 100 most promising big data companies. Over a span of several months, CIO Review's editorial research team analyzed over a 2000 companies focused on big data and shortlisted companies that are at the forefront of tackling Big Data challenges.

Exosite is pleased to announce that we have become a member of the Texas Instruments cloud ecosystem. The TI IoT cloud ecosystem was established to help manufacturers using TI technology to easily and rapidly connect more products to the growing Internet of Things (IoT). More information on TI’s cloud ecosystem can be found here.

MAKE interviewed our own Brian Ziarnick at SXSW 2014 about the new Texas Instruments Connected LaunchPad.

It’s no secret that the Internet of Things (IoT) is starting to catch the eyes of some of the biggest tech players in the game.  With some experts estimating there will be 50 billion connected devices by 2020, this shouldn’t come as a surprise.  Texas Instruments (TI) has shown they’re serious about the M2M (machine-to-machine) space by choosing Exosite as their cloud solutions partner.  Together, TI and Exosite have brought you the foundational elements for building connected products. Instead of re-inventing the wheel, you can use our IoT building blocks to create your connected product vision quickly.

For over 40 years, the international Consumer Electronics Show (CES), held in Las Vegas has served as one of the world’s largest gatherings for innovators to showcase the latest breakthrough technologies.

I've been working on updating our Arduino Library. If you haven't heard of Arduino yet, it's a really cool embedded development and prototyping ecosystem. It consists of both hardware development boards and an IDE (Integrated Development Environment) with many useful libraries to quickly and easily create embedded electronic devices. Exosite has created a library that makes getting your Arduino project talking to the cloud easier than ever.

Welcome, ghouls and banshees, to Exosite's spooooky Halloween performance report! Prepare to scream and quake as you read all of our hair-raising aggregate statistics and bone-chilling – Y'know what? I can't keep this up. Let's start over.

Is Minn.'s next big thing the Internet of Things? - Minneapolis / St. Paul Business Journal

Last Wednesday, a reporter from the Minneapoils / St. Paul Business Journal made a stop by the Exosite office to learn more about the growing excitement behind "Internet of Things" technology and the role Exosite is playing in this area.

We software engineers find nothing else quite as satisfying as a snappy, crisp web experience. Every time we shave a few dozen milliseconds off a pageload, life gets better for us and for our users. And that's not just our opinion. Studies show again and again that faster page loads mean higher user engagement and higher productivity. Higher productivity: that's what we want for our users.

From the Press Release:

Exosite (www.exosite.com) announced today that Microchip Technology Inc. (www.microchip.com) selected Exosite to be an "Embedded Cloud" design partner. The collaboration enhances Microchip’s Internet of Things solutions with out-of-the-box device management, remote monitoring, data analytics and data visualization capabilities.

Exosite and Verizon will highlight the Remote Asset Monitor solution in Las Vegas at the M2M Evolution Conference and Expo. The event is focused around how M2M technologies and the ‘Internet of Things” can be utilized to improve business processes, minimize risk, spark innovation and find new ways to drive revenue. Members across the M2M eco system will discuss their roles in development of new technologies and specific M2M applications will be showcased that have proven market impact in various industries.

TI CC3000 is a new Wi-Fi module for embedded systems. It's Simple Link Wi-Fi solution minimizes MCU software requirements and provides SmartConfig^TM technology that allows users to use their smartphones (iPhone / Android phone) to configure Wi-Fi passcodes/SSID in 2 steps: enter a passcode, and click start.

We happened to catch a video of Avnet Electronic's Jim Carver showing off their Wi-Go platform connected to Exosite at Sensors Expo 2013. Jim is the technical director of advanced architectures at Avnet and helped design the hardware and software of the Wi-Go platform, an IoT WiFi platform based on the Freescale Kinetis KL25Z MCUs.  The platform includes temperature, air pressure, altimeter, magnetometer, ambient light, and accelerometer sensors in addition to supporting Lithium Polymer batteries.  It's an impressive little platform and we wanted to share the demonstration.

For the second consecutive year, Exosite had the opportunity to present at Sensors Expo & Conference, the leading sensors event in North America. The event is focused on sensors and has emerged as one of the largest and most important gatherings of engineers and scientist involved in the development and deployment of sensors systems.

The Exosite team is excited to be a part of the Verizon nationwide Connected Technology Tour (CTT). Exosite is presenting in the Breakout Session entitled "Constructing an M2M Solution" and exhibiting in the Solutions Expo. The CTT launches today and features a series of interactive seminars showcasing the compelling benefits of Machine-to-Machine (M2M) solutions.
