Akenza
Zurich, Switzerland
What it is
Akenza is a paid, cloud-deployed IoT platform accessed through the web. It provides device provisioning, firmware updates, and remote commands for connected-device operations. Supported protocols are MQTT, HTTP, and LoRaWAN, giving organizations defined connection choices for compatible devices. Provisioning can help bring devices into management, firmware updates address software maintenance, and remote commands provide a way to operate devices after connection. Akenza was founded in 2017 and is headquartered in Zurich, Switzerland. Pricing is available on request rather than shown as a fixed amount. The listed platform is web-based, and the listed deployment model is cloud. These facts define Akenza’s stated scope around managing connected devices and communicating through supported protocols. Organizations evaluating it can compare their device connectivity requirements with MQTT, HTTP, or LoRaWAN support, then request a quote.
