2025 IoT Connectivity & Networking Award Winner: HiveMQ
HiveMQ has been named the winner of the 2025 IoT Connectivity & Networking Award for its HiveMQ Platform, a trusted edge to cloud data streaming solution that delivers reliable, real time connectivity for mission critical IoT systems worldwide.
About the Winning Solution
The HiveMQ Platform enables seamless, bi directional data flow between IoT devices, industrial systems, and enterprise applications. Built on the MQTT protocol, it provides low latency, secure, and scalable data exchange from edge to cloud, empowering organizations to achieve real time visibility and make their data AI ready.
HiveMQ has become a connectivity cornerstone for global enterprises including Audi, BMW, Siemens, and Eli Lilly. The platform’s reliability is exemplified by its deployment in partnership with Itron and DeNova Detect, where it serves as the backbone for a natural gas safety network across New York City. More than 275,000 gas detectors rely on HiveMQ for instant, lossless data transmission, detecting over 5,000 actionable leaks and saving utilities an estimated 11 million dollars annually in reduced inspections and truck rolls.
“HiveMQ’s platform exemplifies the future of IoT networking, secure, resilient, and built to serve both people and infrastructure,” said Jordan Hayes, IoThinkTank Awards Coordinator.
