42 Technology partners with Blues to accelerate IoT product innovation

42 Technology (42T) has partnered with Blues, a leader in IoT connectivity solutions, to offer its clients a faster, more streamlined path to market for connected products. As an accredited partner, 42T can now specify Blues integrated IoT platform and modules for new product innovations depending on a client’s specific requirements for performance, time-to-market and budget.

Following a review of each other’s services and capabilities, 42T and Blues have agreed to work together to help companies bring their connected products and intelligent, data-driven services to life. As a result, 42T will now include Blues’ module-based approach featuring integrated hardware, software and cloud technologies as part of its broader development toolkit for new IoT innovations.

42T remains fully committed to selecting the most suitable technology based on a client’s unique needs rather than on any fixed platform or provider. 42T’s IoT design team offers three alternative pathways to help fast-track the development and launch of new connected products and services: fully customised solutions for maximum performance and flexibility; integrated IoT platforms such as those from Blues; or a hybrid approach using cloud-provider modules that offer some degree of customisation.

Jon Spratley, 42 Technology’s CEO believes the collaboration with Blues will add a powerful new option to the company’s existing IoT development capabilities.  “It’s a two-way relationship built on trust and flexibility, and most importantly it allows us to keep doing what we do best: guiding clients to the solution that works best for them.”

“Our partnership with 42T has always felt like a natural fit, as we share a common goal of helping companies bring their data-driven services to life. We are excited to see this partnership continue to grow and look forward to what will be accomplished together.”

Blues is a leader in secure wireless connectivity known for its extensive experience in enabling companies to transform physical products into intelligent, cloud-connected systems.  It is the only IoT provider to support all major wireless standards (2G to 5G cellular, wi-fi, LoRa and satellite) in a single plug-and-play format, which helps to significantly reduce design complexity and allows companies to focus on application-level innovation.
