ESP8266 is a low-cost Wi-Fi chip with full TCP/ IP stack and microcontroller unit capability. It offers a complete and self-contained Wi-Fi networking solution, allowing it to either host the application or to offload all Wi-Fi networking functions from another application processor.
Over the past few years, the Internet of Things (IoT) has been an evolving trend for most startups. Also, many large and medium enterprises rely on IoT products for a coherent solution. But the fact is, the IoT is complex and there are endless problems while building an IoT product. According to Verizon’s report ‘State of Market: Internet of Things 2016,’ “Creating, implementing and managing IoT applications is a complex process involving sensors, mobile devices, secure network connectivity, storage, Big Data analytics, ability to scale new services, and on-going integration and fine-tuning. Most enterprises, regardless of size, do not have all of these capabilities and skills in-house to make the IoT a reality.” This proves to be a major drawback of IoT applications, which is why the IoT is still out of reach for many enterprises.
Nothing but a chip
To bridge the gap between the IoT and enterprises, Pranav Pai Vernekar and his team came up with Bolt IoT platform that provides hardware as well as the Cloud. Bolt enables enterprises and makers to build scalable IoT prototypes in a day’s time. Bolt’s small yet highly-functional prototyping board and its intuitive product building experience help build prototypes at minimum cost and man hours.
Bolt takes care of analytics, visualisation, network connectivity, storage and scalability so that you, as a developer, can focus on the end application. Basically, it is a small chip that comes with a Wi-Fi module that lets you connect sensors and a Cloud platform to store and analyse data. Bolt’s Cloud platform helps you control and monitor your products over the Internet, create personalised dashboards to visualise data, monitor device health, send text messages and more.
