About HiveMQ

HiveMQ is a tech startup that operates in the Internet of Things (IoT) market. It provides a platform that uses the MQTT protocol, an industry standard for IoT messaging, to facilitate the connection, communication, and control of IoT data under real-world conditions. The platform is designed to be reliable, flexible, secure, and scalable, making it suitable for enterprise-level applications.

HiveMQ's clients are businesses that need to manage large amounts of data from connected IoT devices. The company's platform includes an MQTT broker, which ensures the fast, efficient, and reliable movement of data to and from these devices. The platform also has the capability to convert proprietary industrial protocols to MQTT and integrate data with existing streaming services, databases, and IT systems.

HiveMQ's business model is based on providing its platform as a service. It generates revenue by charging clients for using its platform, which can be deployed on-premise, in any cloud, or via the fully-managed and feature-rich HiveMQ Cloud offering. The company also offers expert guidance and resources for businesses that are new to MQTT or are expanding their IoT platforms.

HiveMQ is also active in the open-source community and is a member of several organizations that promote the adoption of the MQTT protocol for IoT. This involvement not only helps to advance the industry but also positions HiveMQ as a leader in its field.
