movement platform that makes it easy to move data to

Q. How did you get inspired to become an IoT Solution
provider?
We started building HiveMQ in 2013, there was no IoT
industry yet, it was called M2M (machine-to-machine
communication). We have seen that connecting
machines is totally different from connecting people
over the internet via websites. Therefore other solution
and protocols are needed. We wanted to offer a solution
that incorporates a new and lightweight technology
enabling new business models by having a lightweight
and push-based connection between the devices and the
cloud.
Q. Tell us something about the benefits gained by your
clients/users from you.

Q. With the introduction of new technologies like AI and
vast improvement in wireless technologies & telecom
infrastructure, what are the scopes and challenges
coming with it?
All the new technologies like AI are still in the very
beginning, so there will be a lot of new possibilities for
companies to use these technologies in order to provide
a better product for their customers. One of the
challenges will definitely be to transfer and process the
large amounts of data, which will rise up exponentially.
So having a reliable, efficient and highly scalable
solution to exchange the data is the foundation for
leveraging the potential of these technologies.
Q. What can be expected from your company in near
future?
We are currently getting ready for the next challenges
