The number of devices getting connected to the internet day over day is increasing astoundingly. Forbes estimate, by 2020, more than 34 billion devices will be online. MQTT getting a huge adoption across industry and personal connectivity. This mandates a need for a more powerful and highly extendable MQTT Broker for managing your devices. Bevywise MQTT Broker is a light weight middle ware that can help you work on your core business challenge and leave the data collection to the tool.

Faster Throughput MQTT Broker

We cautiously built the broker to get the best of both worlds. The core engine was built on C and can give you the fastest through put. The broker can read at a rate of 3 MB per second. For example, A typical deployment where devices send 50 bytes of data, the broker can handle 55,000 to 60,000 messages per second.

Data Analytics Integration

Enterprise / OEMs use a large number sensor to monitor and analyse their devices & product performance. One Size doesn’t fit all. This is true for every enterprise & OEMs going to implement IoT. As IOT is a diversified implementation, we allow users to store data into any of their engines as needed. The data can also be processed by them before they send it to the storage. Some of the custom store implementation done by our customers.

The custom store can also be used for the integration of the data received with any application. One of our customers has integrated the Broker with the softlab24 using the customer store.

We can provide a more customized integration of the MQTT Broker. We would be happy to add your integration story here. Let us talk

Monitor & Create Custom Alarms

To Err is Human is the ultimate reason, why human invented machines. 24 X 7 monitoring is needed in a continuous process industry, health care, logistics, National security and other mission critical operations. Bevywise MQTT Broker is built with a Rule engine which helps administrators create event based rules for the sensor data. With this admins can easily create an alert message and send the message to a specific subscriber or web application. This help user from wasting human power and money.

MQTT Communication Security

With rapid increase IoT device connection to internet, many IoT bots or malicious data will crash the device and steal or know your data from via crashed device. Bevywise MQTT Broker has the most powerful and flexible security options. Enable TLS / SSL communication between your edge device & the MQTT Broker for a secure data flow. You can also create individual and highly secure authentication keys for each of your devices and make sure no one can intrude into the system.

Powerful MQTT Dashboard

MQTTRoute is much more than a middleware. MQTT Broker provides an option to view the list of devices connected right now and dig deeper into each device by messages , subscriptions, etc. The User interface can be used to send a device management command to any of the device. Administrators will be able to add Authentication keys from the user Interface dynamically without a Broker restart. Users can easily change the Bevywise MQTT broker to their language via localization support. The MQTT Broker UI is also built with dynamic update of the data from the server without a refresh for better monitoring of devices.

REST API Integration

In spite of MQTT being a powerful Communication protocol, we should not use them for building manager application integration. Refer to the best practices why MQTT is not the right choice for the manager application. MQTT Broker comes with a rich set of REST APIs which can be used for integration of your manager and also for building mobile applications over MQTT Broker.
