Get a secure, fast, and cost-effective IoT solution
With the increasing amount of data generated by intelligent devices, global communication infrastructures are challenged by latency and stability issues due to network congestion.
Many services such as access control, logic rules, or alarm management require low latency, high stability and security to function effectively.
Develco Products provides a range of edge computing services that are running locally on the Squid.link gateways to improve stability and security, and reduce latency. These services are ready for you to integrate and speed up the development of your solution.
Choose and pay only for the services you need to get a tailored, but cost-effective home care, security, or energy system.

What is edge computing and why should you use it?
Security & privacy
Edge computing provides an additional layer of security and privacy for your solution as data on the gateway is much better protected against hackers than in a cloud. At the same time, minimal or no private data is shared with anyone from the outside.
Latency
Local data storage and processing enables access to real-time data and reduces delays in your solution. As a result, operations in your solution run smoothly and automations (e.g. turning on a lamp) are carried out instantly.
Stability
With edge computing, your solution is not dependent on an internet connection. The system can still work during an internet breakdown and the data flow is not interrupted.
Cost-savings
The costs for 3rd party cloud providers often depend on how much data is used. Edge computing reduces cloud transfers and saves you costs for data transmissions and cloud storage. If your solution is using mobile internet connections, these costs are lowered as well.
Access module
Manage local access control to homes or buildings.
Alarm module
Home or small business alarm system, managing arming in 3 modes (away, home, and night), using sensor data from alarm capable devices, alarm user validation, event logging, etc. all running locally on the gateway
Logic rule module
Using any available data point on the gateway or from a connected device and even remote internet resources, logic rules can be defined in a “if-this-then-that” style.
Software/firmware download and upgrade
Easily download software upgrades for the gateway and IoT devices connected.
VoIP module
Make SIP calls from the gateway and connect your solution to Alarm Receiving Centers to validate alarm calls in care and security solutions.
DVR module
Record data from multiple cameras and store only the relevant clips locally on the gateway. The DVR can store footage surrounding other system events (e.g. an alarm or door opening). Local storage provides a high level of privacy.
Cloud connectivity modules
Generic MQTT client module, Microsoft Azure IoT hub module, AWS IoT core module.
IoT device connectivity modules
Zigbee, BLE module, Bluetooth, Wireless M-Bus, Care device (869MHz), Thread, Matter
Squid platform software
Focus on the development of your application by building it on top of Develco Products’ open wireless platform.
The software architecture of the Squid.link gateways offers numerous configuration options and allows you to integrate various devices and cloud services ensuring that you get a tailored wireless solution.
Platform APIs
The Squid.link gateways offer you multiple ways to develop the application of your solution.
Base your solution on the high-level Squid Smart App API which greatly simplifies the development of your application and allows you to configure the settings instead of programming them.
If you prefer to program the application, the low-level SmartAMM API provides you with the necessary means.
Wireless protocols
Wireless communication is the heart of the IoT. Our devices are designed to communicate – with you and each other. The wireless protocols integrated into our products are vigorously tested to ensure reliability, compatibility, and security.
The Squid.link gateway support a range of wireless protocols ideal for care, security, and energy solutions, including Zigbee, Bluetooth, Wireless M-Bus, and more.
Cloud integrations
Cloud services make it possible to develop applications without having to invest in the underlying infrastructure. The Squid.link gateways are integrated with several 3rd party cloud services including Microsoft Azure and AWS.
Integration with cloud services ensures the fastest time to market of your solution and offers you the potential of efficiently scaling the solution from ten to millions of devices.
Peer-to-peer connection
The Nabto technology creates a direct and secure connection between the application and the gateway instead of relaying data via a server.
This peer-to-peer connection reduces latency issues, makes your solution function independently from an internet connection, and increases security.
With Nabto’s software implemented on the Squid.link gateways, solution providers can invest their resources in developing applications, instead of using extensive time on establishing communication with the gateway or maintaining IoT devices.
