Mojix, the leading provider of wireless sensor network solutions, today announced the acquisition of TierConnectand its subsidiary CodeRoad, the creators of a state-of-the-art platform for the Internet of Things (IoT) recently launched as “ViZix.”
This acquisition enables Mojix to offer comprehensive and fully configurable software solutions with advanced analytics, enabling end-to-end business intelligence and data visibility across multiple industries. This will further bridge the gap between its RFID hardware platform, the edge and IoT.
“Mojix has always been an innovator of wireless sensor networks,” said Mojix President and CEO Ramin Sadr, PhD. “Our contribution towards the deployment of wide-area RFID networks has been nothing less than transformative. With the addition of a next-generation software platform, Mojix is best positioned to further strengthen its role as a leading IoT solutions provider. In addition, the TierConnect team gives Mojix deep expertise in Big Data scalability, highly-configurable application frameworks, and elegant user interfaces, all key ingredients in collecting, analyzing, and displaying mission-critical contextual data for our customers.”
Founded by Gus Rivera and Terrence Crown, TierConnect will bring over 100 world-class software engineers and a battle-tested IoT platform to Mojix. “After evaluating companies and technologies across the globe, TierConnect presented the most advanced and innovative software platform to address our customers’ needs across multiple vertical markets. We are delighted to have Terrence, Gus and the entire TierConnect team become a part of Mojix,” added Dr. Sadr. Crown will serve as Chief Software Architect for Mojix, while Rivera will lead CodeRoad software division as Managing Director, both reporting to Dr. Sadr.
“We were fortunate enough to have a great deal of interest from both public and private companies, and we are excited to join forces with a very impressive Mojix team. After several successful projects together, we saw an opportunity to help create a company that can transform business economics across multiple industrial segments,” said Rivera. “Unlike other providers in this space, Mojix is now uniquely positioned to leverage innovations and key patents in wide-area sensor networks with a powerful, highly-configurable software platform. Add proven expertise in sensor network deployment, and you have the capability to provide reliable solutions in days, not months.”
