Acklio - IP Core, multi-connectivity IoT architecture

IoT convergence over IP

At Acklio, we consider the different connectivity technologies to be complementary, not competitive. Our software transforms LPWAN network communications into IP to remove the critical barriers to multi-connectivity.

No vendor lock-in

No longer worry about being locked out by a technology or platform provider. Reduce your technical debt with IP convergence. You gain the flexibility to evolve towards network solutions that make sense for operational needs and constraints. Acklio’s software implements IETF standards that will soon be used by many competitive players.

Integration made easy

Forget about proprietary APIs and the burden of specific data formats. The TCP/IP stack provides a standard and unique interface to build your network. As a result, native integration between your current, new and upcoming tools. Your development teams work with a framework they are used to. And network management is simplified and sustainable over time.

Combine connectivities

Do you currently use a mix of Ethernet, short distance connectivity, and industrial automation protocols? Broaden your current architecture and densify your network at a lower cost with one or more LPWAN connectivities. Acklio software bring them into the IP sphere for seamless interoperability and ease of operation today and tomorrow.

Acklio, the worldwide reference SCHC implementation

Pioneer and international leader of the SCHC compression and fragmentation (RFC 8724), Acklio's software allows best-in-class IoT deployments. By drastically reducing the volume of traffic transported over networks, it reconciles: efficient IP services over LPWAN, state-of-the-art end-to-end security, and extreme energy-energy efficiency.

End-to-end implementation requires 2 software components provided by Acklio: a SCHC library embedded in the device and an IP Core platform. Simple IP-binding use cases can rely on IP-Core only.

Acklio SCHC library

Empowering your IoT devices. The Acklio SDK device enriches the most constrained end devices with the ability to use the TCP/IP stack. This allows real end-to-end communication over IP between the device and the application.

SCHC, the new IETF standard for IoT (RFC 8724)

The compression technology used to transport the TCP/IP stack over LPWAN networks is the new IETF standard: Static Context Header Compression, SCHC (pronounced “chic”).

Our team pioneered the technology and is still strongly committed to the standardization process. The Acklio software suite is the first to integrate this technology for industrial deployments.
