OptConnect's ema:Play development kits to provide Banyan Hills Technologies’ IoT platform

October 23, 2019

OptConnect, a provider of managed wireless services, has partnered with Banyan Hills Technologies to integrate Banyan's customizable IoT platform, called Canopy, with each ema:Play development kit. The ema:Play development kits allow engineers and developers to test OptConnect ema, a smart embedded modem, in a sandbox environment for quicker and more seamless integration into their host boards.

Canopy takes real-time data from a device connected on a network and centralizes it into a single management platform to support operations. This provides customers with an end-to-end IoT software solution that enables centralized monitoring, management and control of large networks of devices and control systems.

"Canopy is a fantastic IoT platform that blends wonderfully with ema:Play," Steve Garrett, chief product officer at OptConnect, said in the press release. "Over the past few months, we've seen the success that small and large companies have had using the combined services of OptConnect and Banyan Hills, and we expect that trend to accelerate.”

With the launch of ema in May 2019, OptConnect is continuing to develop and add new features to the embedded modem and the ema:Play development kit. Within only a few months of introduction into the marketplace, ema has already been recognized as the IoT Evolution Product of the Year from IoT Evolution World as well as Best of Sensor's Innovative Product of the Year.

"Our collaboration with OptConnect will extend how engineers and developers use this technology and provide customers with end-to-end value for their connectivity and IoT strategies,” said Steve Latham, CEO and founder of Banyan Hills Technologies.
