The IoT Evolution World Honors Platforms Enabling Scalable, Secure, and Intelligent IoT

Salt Lake City—January 13, 2026—The Monnit ALTA^® IoT Monitoring Platform has won the 2025 IoT Platforms Leadership Award from IoT Evolution World, the leading online publication covering IoT technologies.

The IoT Platforms Leadership Awards honor solutions that provide the foundational technology required to build, manage, and operate IoT ecosystems—from device onboarding and connectivity to analytics, automation, and lifecycle management.

Monnit also won the 2024 award for our proprietary wireless IoT sensor platform and demonstrated innovation, scalability, and a clear vision for how IoT technologies deliver measurable business value.

"Our ALTA IoT platform's simplicity, vertical market versatility, and data accessibility are cornerstones of Monnit's success," said Brad Walters, Monnit Founder and CEO. "It enables us to create tailored solutions for our customers' diverse challenges and deliver on the promise of the IoT—transform operations with real-time, actionable data from critical connected assets."

A One-Stop IoT Shop for Any Organization

Combined with this customer-focused mission, we develop remote monitoring solutions that operate on a secure, proprietary wireless IoT platform for data communication, featuring a simple setup and straightforward 24/7 management.

When we started in 2010, and the IoT took off, no one offered end-to-end IoT solutions for small- to medium-sized businesses (SMBs). Soon, we began serving tens of thousands of SMB and enterprise organizations, delivering over 63 billion data points across more than 40 vertical markets in over 85 countries. Everyone from facility managers to lab technicians to restaurant owners can prevent problems, boost efficiency, and optimize processes.

An Innovative, Versatile IoT Platform

We keep our customers' needs and experiences at the forefront as we continually expand our ALTA IoT Monitoring Platform. Our proven IoT platform features a proprietary combination of IoT hardware and software, enabling efficient data collection and secure transmission.

Each of our 80+ ALTA Wireless Sensors is designed to handle nearly any industry use case. Remotely monitor many conditions like temperature, light, humidity, water, vibration, current, pressure, motion, air, access, and more. The sensors' long-range, multi-frequency radio and flexible microcontroller enable remote monitoring and automation of various operations.

An ALTA or ALTA XL^® IoT or Ethernet Gateway connects our IoT sensor networks. These secure IoT networking hubs provide wireless connectivity for ALTA Sensors up to 2,000+ feet away through 18+ walls. Your IoT network, featuring wireless sensors, gateways, and software, can be up and running within 15 minutes, allowing you to monitor from nearly anywhere.

Additional key features of our IoT platform:

• Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) integration for greater wireless range and intelligent signal interference tolerance with impairment immunity from physical obstructions, external radio frequency systems, and electromagnetic interference (EMI)
• Monnit Encrypt-RF™ Security (Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman 256-bit key exchange and 128-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES))
• Sensors data log 2,000 to 4,000 readings if not connected
• Provides firmware over-the-air (FOTA) updates, making ALTA Sensors future-proof while delivering the best possible return on investment to customers through consistently updated security and technology.

Hard to Find an Organization Monnit Couldn't Help

Much of Monnit's success stems from our ALTA IoT Platform's sheer versatility and diverse product offering, which support seemingly endless applications and use cases.

Business owners and organization leaders in aerospace, pest remediation, medical devices, hot yoga studios, property management, hospitals, research labs, food production, fish hatcheries, manufacturing, school districts, petrochemicals, and so many more can monitor simple things from water leaks, pressure, or motion to more complex variables such as machine health through its energy consumption and vibration.

Adapting the Flexible ALTA Application Framework to Monitor Many Things

The ALTA long-range software-defined wireless platform is based on Monnit's intelligent, proprietary system for managing the real-time and non-time-critical processes of ALTA Sensors and Gateways. As with other embedded operating systems, there are specific rules for process scheduling, privileges, and access levels to processor resources.

The ALTA IoT Platform manages two primary process types—one for the ALTA Radio and the other for application-specific processing. The radio process has microsecond-level requirements for real-time operations to support Frequency-Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) sequencing and timing.

Monnit Engineers also built a flexible ALTA application framework for precise time-controlled processes and for handling diverse sensor application adaptations. This gives customers a standard sensor management software interface and familiar sensor functionality.

Access and Analyze IoT Data Your Way 

You don't need programming or IT experience beyond installing a cloud-based app on your smartphone, easily configuring the sensors in the app on your phone, or configuring them and viewing data on your laptop or PC. Our iMonnit^® Software helps you analyze data in charts and graphs and receive alerts via email, text, push notification, or voice call when sensors detect a change you need to know about.

We offer multiple versions of iMonnit—cloud, mobile, on-premises, and standalone PC—so you can monitor however, whenever, and wherever you want. It's your IoT data. We help you own it. You can even send it to third-party applications and your cloud using webhooks or APIs to utilize the sensor data in advanced analytics functions or with AI and machine-learning analytical tools. Then, you can make corrections to preserve resources, maintain assets, and protect people.

Of course, iMonnit is smart and intuitive on its own, and most sensors come with numerous settings to choose from and configure, allowing you to collect the exact data you need. Whether AI-assisted or directly from your sensors into iMonnit, you'll know what is happening, so you can take action.

From IoT hardware to software, Monnit offers a cost-effective operational model: you purchase the hardware upfront and pay for low-annual software licenses and data plans, with our hosting of your data included. Some partners can private-label our IoT solutions for reselling or integration into a specific offering.

What the Judges Said

"The solutions selected for the IoT Evolution IoT Platforms Leadership Award reflect innovation driving the fast-growing Internet of Things marketplace. It is my honor to congratulate Monnit for their innovative work and contribution to this rapidly evolving industry," said Carl Ford, Community Developer, IoT Evolution World.

"It is my pleasure to recognize the ALTA IoT Monitoring Platform, an innovative solution that earned Monnit the 2025 IoT Evolution IoT Platforms Leadership Award," said Rich Tehrani, CEO, TMC. "I look forward to seeing more innovation from Monnit in the future."
