The Things Industries (TTI) Industrial Stack

The TTI Industrial Stack abstracts the complex routing and meshing logic of the underlying Zigbee stack, allowing developers to focus strictly on application logic. By handling the low-level device pairing and network healing automatically, it drastically reduces the firmware engineering required. This modular nature lets teams ingest sensor data without managing the complex communication overhead.

Yes, the TTI Industrial Stack is built on a modular, open-source framework that fully supports both cloud-hosted and completely on-premises deployments. This is particularly crucial for industrial environments with strict data sovereignty and air-gapped security requirements. Companies can run massive-scale industrial meshes entirely on their own local servers without sending telemetry data to an external cloud.

Yes, the framework is built to rapidly support standard IoT protocols, allowing you to easily forward ingested data to external MQTT brokers or time-series databases. This makes it highly compatible with existing platforms like AWS IoT Core or industrial SCADA systems. Developers simply configure the output streams without needing to write custom integration code for the underlying hardware.

To run the TTI Industrial Stack as a gateway, you typically need an embedded Linux system, such as a Raspberry Pi or a specialized industrial edge router. The stack acts as a software coordinator that interfaces with a physical Zigbee radio module attached to the host device via USB or UART. This allows standard commercial edge hardware to function as a highly scalable network coordinator.
