RAPIFIRE is an Internet of Things platform that provides an easy and cost effective way for you to connect your &lt;em&gt;things&lt;/em&gt; to the cloud and bind them with users, product lines and versions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;Why use RAPIFIRE?&lt;blockquote class="jive-quote"&gt;&lt;blockquote class="jive-quote"&gt;&lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;a name="why"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;Connecting &lt;em&gt;things&lt;/em&gt; to the cloud is challenging by itself. An IoT platform should make this easier.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;RAPIFIRE offers you:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;li&gt;An easy to use front-end application (and &lt;a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://rapifire.com/a/things/docs/#/documentation/automation-api/automation-api" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank"&gt;API&lt;/a&gt;) which allows you to manage your assets, users, products and data streams.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;A set of &lt;a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://rapifire.com/a/things/docs/#/documentation/pubsub/security-and-authentication" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank"&gt;secure&lt;/a&gt;, standard-based APIs for bi-directional communication between your &lt;em&gt;things&lt;/em&gt;, yourself, things&amp;#39; owners and third party apps.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Real-time data stream analytics with easy to use reports and data insight.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Clean &lt;a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://rapifire.com/a/things/docs/#/documentation/automation-api/end-user" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank"&gt;end-user experience&lt;/a&gt; allowing them to view data and manage their &lt;em&gt;things&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;An advanced publish/subscribe dynamic topology for creating features for even more complex integration patterns (coming soon!).&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;RAPIFIRE and Internet of Things &lt;em&gt;standards&lt;/em&gt;&lt;blockquote class="jive-quote"&gt;&lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;&lt;a name="standards"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;The Internet of Things is complex. At RAPIFIRE we think that there are no other standards than Internet standards. That&amp;#39;s why RAPIFIRE introduces nothing more than the minimal semantic layer for application-level data frames encoding with clean &lt;a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://blog.rapifire.com/introduction-to-senml/" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank"&gt;SenML implementation&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="text-align:justify;"&gt;From &lt;a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://rapifire.com/a/things/docs/#/getting-started?_k=mwflh8" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank" title="http://rapifire.com/a/things/docs/#/getting-started?_k=mwflh8"&gt;things&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is from their site. Looks like another cloud/API to me.
