TIBCO Partner & Smart Home Pioneer digitalSTROM Triumphs at IoT Awards

PALO ALTO, CA--(Marketwired - Dec 7, 2015) - TIBCO Software Inc., a global leader in integration, analytics, and event processing, and smart home provider digitalSTROM are celebrating digitalSTROM's triumph in the Internet of Things Awards (IoTA) Smart Home category.

The Swiss-German outfit, which is pioneering a new era in intelligent living, saw off tough competition in the form of industry giants, such as Nest, to take the accolade, which recognizes those at the pinnacle of innovation and sustainability in this space.

Organized by the publisher of Total Telecom, winners across nine categories were unveiled on Tuesday at a ceremony at Wembley Stadium, as part of the World Communication Awards, the global telecom's industry flagship awards event. Open to the full spectrum of companies involved in the IoT space, the event drew hundreds of industry representatives from BT Group, NTT Communications, Ooredoo, and Vodafone among others to celebrate innovation and excellence across the entire IoT ecosystem from data to smart cities to connectivity.

digitalSTROM successfully met the award's core criteria by demonstrating innovation and sustainable marketing performance which has made a distinct contribution to the development of the IoT, supported by TIBCO's cloud-based Fast Data platform. The solution's ability to work with existing infrastructure in the home particularly stood out for the judges.

Defined by the depth of its connectivity, which results in an entirely integrated smart home ecosystem, digitalSTROM centers on a smart terminal block containing a patented integrated chip that enables all electrical devices to be connected into one flexible network in real time and transforms every appliance into an IoT device. The smart home system uses TIBCO's cloud-based Fast Data platform, which connects the home to the cloud and works in the background to ensure fast and reliable execution, and prioritization of the rules and processes connected with the various services' data for seamless home management.

The win cements an impressive run of success for digitalSTROM, which to date has seen a 100% growth rate and significant expansion in Europe. As a result, the business is moving ever closer to realizing its vision of becoming one of the leading smart living solutions across 280 million homes in Europe, and now has its sights set on Asia and megacities Abu Dhabi and Shanghai.
