IoT Networking

IoT & Edge Networking Solutions

Connect, secure, and manage billions of IoT devices with purpose-built networking infrastructure that spans from industrial edge to cloud, with automated onboarding and zero-trust security.

Data Center Switching
The Challenge

IoT Devices Demand a Different Network

IoT devices are fundamentally different from traditional IT endpoints. They use diverse protocols, have limited security capabilities, operate in harsh environments, and scale to millions of devices per enterprise. Legacy networks were not designed for these requirements. WatchDog IoT Networking provides purpose-built infrastructure that handles multi-protocol connectivity, automated device lifecycle management, industrial-grade reliability, and zero-trust security from the factory floor to the cloud.

1M+

Devices Managed

Scale to over one million IoT devices from a single management platform with automated lifecycle management.

95%

Faster Onboarding

Automated profiling and segmentation reduces IoT device onboarding from hours to seconds.

99.99%

Edge Availability

Industrial-grade switches with extended temperature range and redundant power for mission-critical IoT.

Single

Policy Plane

Every device must authenticate and is continuously monitored for behavioral anomalies.

Architecture

IoT Network Architecture

A layered architecture purpose-built for IoT that addresses connectivity, security, edge processing, and management at every tier.

Secure

Device Connectivity Layer

Multi-protocol support for wired and wireless IoT devices, from low-power sensors communicating over BLE and Zigbee to industrial PLCs connected via Ethernet/IP and Modbus TCP.

Networking

Edge Computing Layer

Process, filter, and analyze IoT data at the network edge to reduce latency, conserve bandwidth, and enable real-time decision making without dependency on cloud connectivity.

SD-WAN

Network Security Layer

Dedicated IoT security with automated device profiling, network segmentation, anomaly detection, and quarantine capabilities that isolate compromised devices before they can spread threats.

Security

Management & Orchestration

Centralized lifecycle management for millions of IoT devices with automated onboarding, firmware updates, health monitoring, and decommissioning through a single management platform.

Capabilities

IoT Networking Capabilities

Comprehensive capabilities that address every aspect of IoT networking from secure onboarding to edge analytics and industrial protocol support.

Automated Device Onboarding

IoT devices are automatically discovered, profiled, classified, and placed into the appropriate network segment with the correct security policies, eliminating manual configuration for each device.

Device Identity & Trust

Certificate-based device identity with hardware-rooted trust anchors. Every IoT device must authenticate before accessing the network, and trust is continuously re-evaluated based on device behavior.

IoT Network Segmentation

Purpose-built segmentation that isolates IoT traffic from corporate networks, groups devices by function and risk level, and enforces granular communication policies between segments.

Edge Analytics

Process and analyze IoT sensor data at the network edge with containerized analytics applications. Reduce cloud data transfer costs and enable sub-millisecond response times for critical decisions.

OTA Firmware Management

Staged, policy-driven firmware updates for IoT fleets with automatic rollback on failure. Update thousands of devices simultaneously while maintaining service continuity and compliance.

Industrial Protocol Support

Native support for industrial protocols including Modbus TCP/IP, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, and OPC UA with protocol-aware security inspection and deterministic Quality of Service.

Verticals

IoT Across Industries

Tailored IoT networking solutions for industry-specific requirements, device types, and regulatory compliance needs.

Smart Manufacturing

Connect and monitor production lines, robotics, and quality control systems with deterministic networking, edge analytics, and IT/OT convergence that maintains operational safety.

Smart Buildings

Unified connectivity for building automation including HVAC, lighting, access control, and occupancy sensors with centralized management and energy optimization analytics.

Healthcare IoT

Secure, reliable connectivity for medical devices, patient monitoring, asset tracking, and environmental sensors with compliance-ready segmentation and audit logging.
