Particle

Particle is an edge-to-cloud infrastructure for the Internet of Things. The company’s full-stack platform brings IoT software, connectivity, and hardware together in one infrastructure to help customers power their connected sensors, devices, and machines, and quickly and securely deploy new IoT solutions—from design, to prototype, to shipping, to scale, to management.

Alongside its cellular-enabled devices—e.g., sensors and developer boards—Particle’s subscription package includes a secure data pipeline and device management portal, integrated SIMs, connectivity diagnostics, API and SDK documentation, and more. Under the company’s platform-as-a-service (PaaS) model, recurring monthly subscription options allow customers to start for free and scale quickly into more sophisticated plans.
