IoT applications (including smart cities, smart buildings, smart industry, connected cars, utility monitoring, logistics, smart agriculture and smart homes) and remote sensor monitoring are some of the most noteworthy use cases for AtomBeam precisely because they are resource-constrained. AtomBeam enables 70%+ data reduction for transmission and security, reducing capital expense, adding speed and reducing capital and operating costs.

Vehicles can use AtomBeam to securely communicate with other cars on the road, with Google Maps, with your smart city, and with the car’s manufacturer — as well as for the car’s internal monitoring and control systems. Communications is accelerated by AtomBeam’s huge data reduction as well as its resilience to network errors, and AtomBeam’s built-in security addresses a top priority of vehicle manufacturers.

Devices for self-health monitoring and preventive care are ever-increasing, especially given the dramatic expansion of our elderly population. AtomBeam minimizes the transfer time (latency) of short, bursty health monitoring information while maintaining 100% data accuracy and improving security. Not only that, AtomBeam increases the amount of data that can be transferred over the same network by 3x to 4x, allowing existing networks to send far more information than they can at present.

Telemetry data, which includes such diverse applications as aircraft, naval ships, medical monitoring equipment and numerous other examples, is a natural for AtomBeam. In almost every instance the desirability to significantly increase bandwidth, add security while not adding latency or error sensitivity is a paramount priority of users, but until AtomBeam no alternatives to added hardware existed. With AtomBeam, all of these goals can be achieved solely on the basis of software, a major value add compared to the cost and minimal disruption.

Remote sensors are ubiquitous, will BILLIONS more deployed each year in factories, weather stations, utility grids, ocean probes, homes, and outposts around the globe.  What’s more, AtomBeam operates over wireless and satellite networks — as well as LPWANs (low power wide area networks) such as Sigfox, LoRa, NB-IoT, LTE-M and cellular 2G, 3G. When these networks experience errors, unlike traditional compression algorithms, AtomBeam keeps on truckin’.
