Markets
The product lines serve the Internet of Things (IoT) market with particular emphasis on the Machine to Machine (M2M) submarket and the larger Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT) submarket. Over 350,000 Systech devices are installed worldwide.

Interoperability
Systech is a member of the Open Connectivity Foundation (OCF) whose objective is connecting the 25+ billion Internet of Things (IoT) devices across multiple platforms and Operating Systems using a common, interoperable approach that includes security. A recent World Economic Forum report notes the Lack of Interoperability or Standards is the greatest barrier inhibiting business from adopting the Industrial Internet (of Things) along with Security.

Systech was an early adopter when it completed certification of the SysLINK M2M Gateway as ThingWorx Ready as part of the ThingWorx Partner Program before PTC acquired ThingWorx.
