Blackfire Research Corporation

The global leader in solutions for high performance media & IoT applications over Wi-Fi. That is the short version of Blackfire Research Corporation. Put simply, it is about connecting machines, sensors and robots to software that controls or monitors them.

The natural audience is manufacturers and operators. They also list Consumer Electronics, Digital Media, Internet of Things and Wireless, so expect those to show up in the feature set. They are a small team, 11 to 50 people, which usually shapes who they work with. You will probably talk to the people who build it, which is great until you need 24/7 support.

Blackfire Research Corporation is based in San Francisco, California and founded in 2010. More on bfrx.com.

Things worth asking about: hardware compatibility, uptime, and support. Ask for a trial on your own data, not a canned demo.
