mangOH Red® recognized for technology innovation with 2018 IoT Breakthrough Award

VANCOUVER, British Columbia--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Sierra Wireless (NASDAQ: SWIR) (TSX: SW), the leading provider of fully integrated device-to-cloud solutions for the Internet of Things (IoT), today announced that the mangOH Red® open source hardware platform has been recognized with the IoT Breakthrough Award for IoT Development Tool of the Year.

Targeted at the industrial IoT and maker communities, mangOH Red is the most feature-rich, lowest power open source enablement platform on the market. Smaller than a credit card, it includes all of the building blocks needed to prototype and test ideas in days instead of months, with minimal investment. mangOH Red designs can then be modified and repurposed for mass production using its industrial-grade components and applications developed in the Legato® open source Linux platform.

“One of the greatest challenges that developers of industrial-grade IoT products face is testing and getting product concepts to market quickly,” said Philippe Guillemette, Chief Technology Officer, Sierra Wireless. “Loaded with features on one compact, easy-to-use board, mangOH Red makes it painless for developers to transition from idea to prototype to product. We’re proud to have been recognized with the IoT Breakthrough Award for supporting the developer community and enabling innovative IoT projects.”

The IoT Breakthrough Awards recognize excellence in the IoT industry and honour leading innovative companies, technologies and products. There are 11 award categories, ranging from Smart City and M2M to Enterprise IoT and IoT Component. This year, the IoT Breakthrough Awards received more than 3,000 nominations.
