One more year, the Smart City global sector met in Barcelona at the Smart City Expo, which ended last November 16 after three days full of talks, activities and innovation where the presence of connectivity as a means to effectively manage all areas related to Smart Cities was an essential element.

After paticipating for several years, MTX attended to this new edition with many new products and projects.

We presented a new generation of the powerful and reliable Titan Routers. The MTX-Router-Titan II (along with its equivalent without Titan Software, MTX-GTW II) was the star of the MTX stand. Thanks to its reduced size and complete interfaces and functionalities, it was responsible for the managing of the connectivity of our miniature Smart City, the main attraction of our stand. The city demo was full of sensors that demonstrated the capacity the MTX-Router-Titan II has to control solutions like smart parking, public transportation managing, lighting with smart sensors, or managing the quality of the environment.

But there was more than hardware in our stand. Cervello Device Manager was presented as a software solution in the cloud to manage IoT and M2M devices easily through an intuitive graphic interface, right next to our Smart City demo, where users could control all the devices connected to the MTX-Router-Titan II.

Three days full of contacts, networking and a lot of Smart City, with the purpose of finding the best solutions to achieve interconected smart cities. The MTX team want to thank everyone who came to the Expo, and especially those who visited our stand.

Thanks everybody! Looking forward to see you next year!




IoT (Internet of Things) is closer, thanks to Cervello Device Manager

In an increasingly inter-connected world, the future of IoT (Internet of Things) needs to go through the democratization of connectivity, allowing the creation of intelligent network devices and applications that can control, manage and monitor them from the cloud. This way, any company can benefit from it without the need to develop their own applications.

Having IoT connectivity at arm’s reach within the near future can be as easy as finding the appropriate IoT device, connecting it to the needed sensors or peripherals, and managing everything through Cervello Devide Manager, a Software as a Service (SaaS) cloud solution responsible for the management and remote monitoring of IoT and M2M devices, developed by IoTBlue and distributed by Matrix Electrónica.

IoT Challenges and Needs

The biggest challenges and needs of the Internet of Things sector are based on two pillars: security and complexity. The security in communications, firmware update, people and devices authentication, and the registry and follow up of the data gathered are essential when it comes to bring IoT to the next security level. Regarding complexity, the main challenges most companies face are focused on the difficulty of managing millions of connections, the structure maintance expenses, the complexity of the processing and storage of big data volumes, and the problems derived from establishing business rules and alerts in an easy, controlled and affordable way, and without the need of internal development.

What will Cervello Device Manager allow?

Through a simple cloud platform, Cervello Device Manager allows any company to control IoT devices networks: remote control, supply, autentication, device registry and inventary, data display and real time monitoring, creation of business rules and alerts based on the data obtained from the devices, high availability and redundancy, and the creation of logs and histories with the gathered data. All of this from a platform in the cloud available anytime from anywhere, allowing the reduction of operative expenses and larger business scalability.

IoT, within arm’s reach, and with infinite applications

All these functionalities can be applied to any kind of solution in need of controlling devices remotely, from vending machines to energy meters, to more complex solutions of Smart Transportation or Smart Agriculture. Each company can customize the control panel according to their preferences and needs, allowing a smooth management applied to the connectivity solution installed in the Cervello Device Manager.
