Blecon Wins 2024 Stratus Award for Cloud Computing

We are excited to announce that Blecon has been recognised with the 2024 Stratus Award for Cloud Computing in the IoT Category. Presented by the Business Intelligence Group, this prestigious award celebrates organisations driving innovation in cloud technologies and advancing industries through their pioneering solutions.

At Blecon, we’ve always believed that the future of IoT Connectivity lies in the seamless integration of physical products with cloud applications—and Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) is at the heart of this vision. Winning this award is not just a reflection of the product we’ve built but also an acknowledgment of how cloud technology can transform industries when applied in new and unexpected ways.

Unlike conventional Bluetooth setups that require pairing, Blecon allows devices to automatically connect to the cloud by roaming across a network of Blecon hotspots—such as phones, computers, or dedicated hubs—without any setup or pairing. This cellular-like network architecture enables data to flow bi-directionally through any available Blecon hotspot, making it a truly plug-and-play solution.

This approach opens up opportunities for businesses to access data, optimise operations, and create smarter products, even for use cases that were previously impractical due to technical or financial barriers.

Russ Fordyce, Chief Executive Officer of Business Intelligence Group, said, “Blecon’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of cloud technology is truly commendable. Their innovative approach and exceptional contributions to the industry make them a worthy recipient of the Stratus Award.”
