Case Study: ThinxNet achieves reliable, scalable real-time IoT streaming and unified push notifications with PubNub

ThinxNet Powers IoT Platform Using PubNub

ThinxNet is an IoT platform that connects and manages devices, providing hardware, security, device management, real-time data streaming and analytics for mobility applications. They needed a way to stream real-time in-app updates (e.g., vehicle state) and a unified gateway for reliable cross‑platform push notifications (APNs and GCM) without building and maintaining a custom real-time backend.

ThinxNet adopted PubNub Data Streams and Mobile Push Gateway to power in‑app real‑time communication and centralized push delivery. The integration eliminated backend polling, improved user experience and reduced data volumes, while delivering greater reliability, scalability and centralized certificate management so ThinxNet can focus engineering resources on core features.
