connectivity solutions.

ACKme’s SDConnect is an IoT software framework that vastly reduces time-to-market and eliminates expensive development costs through the use of a simple to use SDCommand Set API. WiConnect also includes highly secure over-the-air firmware updates, on-board file systems, wireless services, network services, cloud services, failsafe boot-loading, TLS security and peripheral management.
The final solution in the portfolio includes both production cloud OEM services for devices through sensors.com and free cloud prototyping services at goHACK.me (gHm). All ACKme modules are gHm and sensors.com ready allowing customers to create cloud based sensor and control applications quickly.
“The ACKme portfolio accelerates the time to market complimenting Farnell element14’s strategy to help in reducing product design cycles. Following the successful cloud and IoT focussed webinar earlier this year we decided to add the ACKme Network products to our portfolio.” said Richard Curtin, Global Director of Strategic Alliance, element14
“Farnell element14 has a loyal following of individuals from pure hobbyists to engineers alike, all looking for strong technical solutions”, commented ACKme’s Nick Dutton, VP for Business Development, “Farnell element14’s customer recognition of ACKme’s hardware, firmware and cloud solutions are an enormous compliment.”
