Blynk, a provider of IoT platforms, and DPTechnics, a European technology company specialising in IoT design, have announced a new collaboration to deliver a comprehensive end-to-end solution for IoT projects using cellular connectivity. This partnership comes at a crucial time, following the recent closure of Pycom, which left many developers and businesses in need of reliable alternatives in the IoT sector.
The collaboration between Blynk and DPTechnics integrates DPTechnics’ latest cellular-enabled board, Walter, with Blynk’s powerful IoT platform. Together, this solution provides developers and businesses with a streamlined, all-in-one offering, allowing faster market entry, an enhanced developer experience, and a smooth onboarding process for end users. The solution is designed to accommodate scalable deployments, featuring advanced capabilities such as automated workflows, comprehensive device and user management, and enterprise-level tools for monitoring and controlling large fleets of devices.
A complete IoT ecosystem for cellular projects
The joint solution comprises DPTechnics’ cellular-ready hardware board, designed for industrial and commercial IoT applications, paired with Blynk’s software platform, which manages devices, visualises data, and supports remote control and user-facing applications. This integration enables businesses to scale quickly without the need for bespoke hardware or software development.
“This partnership with DPTechnics comes at an important time for the IoT community,” said Pavlo Bayborodin, CEO of Blynk. “With the closure of Pycom, many companies are left searching for alternatives, and our joint solution offers a robust, scalable option that simplifies both hardware and software integration for cellular-based IoT projects.”
Addressing the market gap left by Pycom
The exit of Pycom from the market has created a significant gap, particularly for businesses relying on cellular IoT solutions. DPTechnics’ hardware serves as a strong replacement, and when combined with Blynk’s no-code platform, the solution becomes even more comprehensive, offering enhanced functionality and long-term reliability for businesses seeking a dependable alternative.
