Afero and Atmosic Technologies have announced a strategic collaboration to debut a new class of ultra-secure, ultra-long-battery-life IoT products. By merging Afero’s “Made-in-USA” security platform with Atmosic’s industry-leading energy-harvesting and low-power BLE silicon, the partnership aims to solve the scalability issues plaguing large-scale enterprise IoT deployments.
Solving the Connectivity Paradox
Historically, IoT developers faced a choice: implement robust, power-hungry security protocols or sacrifice data integrity for longer battery life. The Afero-Atmosic solution removes this compromise through two core innovations:
-
Afero Secure Bridge: This software layer enables seamless “anywhere” control and remote access without the traditional battery drain associated with constant cloud polling.
-
Atmosic’s Ultra-Low-Power Silicon: Atmosic’s BLE chips drastically reduce active power consumption, often allowing devices to operate for years on a single coin-cell battery or via harvested energy.

Technical Synergy: Secure-by-Design
The joint architecture ensures end-to-end data integrity from the physical device to the cloud. By utilizing Afero’s enterprise-grade platform, the hardware is “born secure,” preventing the common vulnerabilities found in mass-produced, low-cost IoT nodes.
“The market has been waiting for solutions that don’t force a compromise between security and efficiency,” says Joe Britt, CEO and Co-Founder of Afero. “With Atmosic’s chips and our Secure Bridge software, we are setting a new standard for connected products.”
