Delivering Actionable Intelligence Through Connected Monitoring
The promise of the Internet of Things has always been simple: connect critical assets, collect meaningful data, and empower organizations to make better decisions. The challenge has been making that process accessible, scalable, secure, and cost-effective. We built the Monnit IoT Sensor Communications Platform to solve that challenge.
Since 2010, Monnit has helped organizations transform operations through remote monitoring solutions that connect equipment, facilities, environments, and processes to real-time intelligence. Today, the platform supports customers in more than 130 countries and across 40+ vertical markets, delivering more than 72 billion data points that help businesses improve safety, reduce downtime, protect assets, ensure compliance, and optimize performance.
Rather than focusing on a single industry or application, Monnit developed a comprehensive communications platform that enables organizations of all sizes. From small businesses to global enterprises, organizations need to deploy monitoring systems quickly and manage them easily.
The result is a complete ecosystem of sensors, gateways, software, and communications technologies that work together to simplify IoT adoption while delivering measurable business outcomes.
A Complete IoT Communications Ecosystem
The Monnit IoT Sensor Communications Platform combines sensors, software, networking, cloud technologies, and integration tools into a unified solution that makes monitoring straightforward and scalable.
APIs, webhooks, and integration tools for third-party systems
Together, these technologies create a flexible communications architecture capable of collecting, transmitting, managing, and responding to critical operational data in real time.
Organizations can deploy a complete monitoring network in as little as 15 minutes and begin accessing sensor data from virtually anywhere through desktop, mobile, cloud, or local environments.
Enabling Reliable Data Collection Anywhere
At the core of the platform is Monnit's extensive portfolio of more than 80 IoT sensors designed to monitor a broad range of environmental, operational, and equipment conditions.
The platform supports monitoring of:
Temperature
Low temperature and cold-chain conditions
Humidity
Water presence and leaks
Differential pressure
Air quality
Motion and occupancy
Current and power usage
Vibration and machine health
Open/closed status
Light levels
Tank levels
Carbon dioxide
And many other application-specific variables
This breadth allows organizations to address hundreds of use cases using a common sensor data communications platform rather than piecing together multiple disconnected solutions.
Advanced Wireless Communications Technology
Monnit's ALTA Wireless Sensors were engineered to deliver long-range, dependable communications in demanding environments.
Using proprietary radio technology, ALTA networks can communicate over distances exceeding 2,000 feet and through more than 18 walls, enabling monitoring in large facilities, warehouses, campuses, manufacturing plants, and remote locations.
Long-lasting battery-powered operation for simplified deployment
The platform's ALTA and ALTA XL Gateways serve as secure wireless communications hubs, collecting sensor data and transmitting it to cloud or local software environments.
Customers can choose between Ethernet and cellular gateway options based on infrastructure requirements and deployment conditions.
Security Built into Every Layer
Security is foundational to the Monnit platform. Monnit's Encrypt-RF™ technology protects wireless communications through:
128-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption
Secure device authentication
Protected sensor-to-gateway communications
In addition, onboard sensor memory stores thousands of readings during communication interruptions, ensuring critical data is preserved and synchronized once connectivity is restored.
Monnit also supports Firmware Over-the-Air (FOTA) updates, allowing customers to maintain current security protections and feature enhancements without replacing hardware.
Designed for Nearly Any Industry
One of the platform's most significant strengths is its versatility. Organizations across a remarkable range of industries rely on Monnit to monitor assets, facilities, and operations.
Applications include:
Data centers
Manufacturing facilities
Cold-chain logistics
Healthcare environments
Research laboratories
Property management
Food production
Agriculture and aquaculture
Education
Energy operations
Construction sites
Retail facilities
Pharmaceutical storage
Hospitality environments
This flexibility enables organizations to standardize on a single monitoring and data communications platform while addressing diverse operational requirements.
Turning Data into Operational Intelligence
The rapid rise of artificial intelligence is creating new opportunities for organizations to extract greater value from operational data. Monnit is actively exploring what Founder and CEO Brad Walters calls Operational Artificial Intelligence. It's the use of AI technologies to transform sensor-generated data into faster, smarter decision-making.
Every Monnit deployment generates valuable information about facility conditions, equipment performance, environmental variables, energy consumption, and asset health. As AI capabilities continue to evolve, organizations increasingly seek ways to convert that information into predictive insights, automated responses, and improved business outcomes.
Monnit views its communications platform as a foundation for Operational AI, helping customers move beyond monitoring toward more informed, data-driven decision-making.
Flexible Software & Data Ownership
The platform's software layer makes the IoT and its data accessible without requiring specialized programming or IT expertise.
Receive alerts by email, text, push notification, or voice call
Manage cloud or on-premises deployments
Integrate data into business systems
Monnit also supports APIs, webhooks, and third-party integrations, allowing customers to connect sensor data to analytics platforms, building management systems, enterprise applications, private clouds, and emerging AI tools. This commitment to flexibility gives customers control over how they access, store, analyze, and utilize their operational data.
