u-blox services are delivered by the Thingstream IoT service delivery platform.
In the fast-growing IoT world, developers face a familiar challenge: how to reliably and securely transmit data from thousands of devices across diverse, often resource-constrained environments. u-blox’s MQTT services solve this by providing a lightweight, efficient messaging protocol purpose-built for low-power IoT devices. Whether you're tracking assets across continents or managing remote sensors, u-blox helps you get critical data where it needs to go - quickly, securely, and without draining device resources.
Managing thousands of devices shouldn't mean thousands of headaches. With u-blox Thingstream, onboarding and managing connected devices becomes simple, scalable, and secure. Devices can be provisioned over-the-air, authenticated with ease, and organized into logical groups - all from a centralized interface. Whether you’re deploying ten devices or ten thousand, Thingstream’s intuitive tools and APIs let you monitor connectivity, manage data flows, and troubleshoot issues in real time.
