We built our own “platform” using the best building-blocks

It’s Thinking Things

We’ve had 1000’s of conversations…

Global connectivity

Global data plan

Ease of use

… and we’ve learnt its virtues

Global connectivity

Global data plan

Ease of use

Access to electronics

Remote programming

Custom form factor

But developers want more

That’s why we’ve opened Thinking Things

Arduino-compatible CPU

GSM radio

Soldered SIM with global, pre-provisioned data plan

Integrated Li-Po battery management

Simple API

OTA upgrades

Industrial-grade module designed to fit into production lines

Cost below 10€ (BOM)

With TT Open, manufacturers can easily convert their products in smart “connected” products

“Portable” communications, ready to integrate in existing electronics

Monitoring

Control

Optimization

Autonomy

Now we also want more!

We’ve become…

Slaves to the smartphone

Is this what we want?

Maybe this?

What if there were NOT an APP for THAT?

Help us discover how to re-think the… world?
