Why BitPointer for IoT & telco?

Protocol expertise

From classic Modbus via MQTT and OPC-UA to modern 5G APIs: we know the protocol landscape and bridge heterogeneous device ecosystems with stable, maintainable integration layers.

Real-time & scalability

IoT systems must process millions of messages per second. We design architectures with Kafka, NATS or EMQX that stay stable and low-latency even under peak load.

IoT security

Connected devices are potential attack vectors. We implement device authentication (X.509, TLS), secure OTA updates, network segmentation and security monitoring aligned with BSI recommendations.

FAQ

Common questions about IoT & telecommunications software

Edge computing is worthwhile when latency is critical (under 10 ms), data protection requires local processing, bandwidth is limited, or cloud dependency must be avoided. For less time-critical analytics, historical evaluation and global dashboards, a cloud connection is more efficient. We often combine both approaches: edge for real time, cloud for aggregates.

We work with AWS IoT Core, Azure IoT Hub/IoT Central, Google Cloud IoT and self-hosted solutions such as EMQX or HiveMQ. We choose the platform together based on your requirements: avoiding vendor lock-in, data protection needs (EU cloud), cost profile and existing infrastructure.

With the right architectures (horizontal scaling, message-broker clustering, sharding), IoT backends scale from hundreds to millions of devices. We size the architecture for your current and future needs and select technologies that grow with you – without costly rewrites.

Yes, OPC-UA is one of our core competencies in industrial IoT. We develop OPC-UA servers and clients, implement information models and build gateways that forward OPC-UA data to MQTT brokers or cloud platforms. OPC-UA over MQTT (OPC-UA Pub/Sub) is also part of our expertise.

IoT security starts on the device: secure boot, encrypted storage, X.509 certificates for device authentication and TLS for all communication channels. We implement PKI infrastructures for device management and design secure OTA update processes. On the backend we apply zero-trust principles and regular penetration tests.
