OpenGate unifies the entire IoT stack—device management, connectivity, edge processing, automation, security, and analytics—into a single, extensible platform. This means faster deployments, less overhead, and safer operations, especially for heterogeneous, large-scale, or industrial setups.
OpenGate is a comprehensive IoT and IIoT platform developed by amplía))), designed to enable intelligent, secure, and scalable management of connected devices and other entities. Its modular and multiprotocol design allows it to integrate with any type of sensors or entities regardless of the manufacturer and adapt to industries like smart grid, utilities, renewable energy, telecom, manufacturing automation, agriculture, logistics, or smart cities.
OpenGate stands out for several cutting-edge features that make it a next-level IoT platform. Here are some highlights:
OpenGate covers the complete IoT lifecycle:
Compared to other IoT platforms, OpenGate offers:
Other platforms from high positioned vendors (like AWS or Azure) excel in cloud-native breadth and analytics but generally require more complex assembly (e.g., Lambda, Greengrass, Power BI). OpenGate, by contrast, is optimized for heterogeneous industrial environments with hybrid deployment needs
OpenGate’s architecture is designed to be modular, scalable, and highly interoperable, making it ideal for managing complex IoT and IIoT ecosystems. Here’s a technical breakdown of its core components and how they interact:
From the OpenGate architecture perspective we like to talk about a journey from south to north, where south are devices or monitored entities and where north is the OpenGate IoT Platform and its capabilities. The following sections go deeper in each component
This layer comprises sensors, actuators, and gateways in the field or the Edge. Devices communicate via various protocols like: Sigfox, LoRa, NB‑IoT, Modbus, SCADA, or MQTT—feeding data into the platform through the connector factory. On-site, it is possible to deploy the OpenGate Device Agent (ODA) which runs lightweight edge processing: data collection, normalization, command execution, and optional AI capabilities. This local computation reduces latency and supports autonomy for critical IIoT solutions and also allows communication with non-IP-based protocols like Zigbee, RS-232, RS-485, and other, to OpenGate.
As part of the amplía))) commercial strategy, for the last years our tech team works harder to integrate different Smart Metering Manufacturers protocols and devices. The following table summarizes the currently integrated manufacturers:

NOTE: cf(x) means that this manufacturer is integrated using OpenGate Connector Functions
IMPORTANT : The devices on the table are the most used devices by our customers and new devices can be integrated using the standard ConnectorFunctions capabilities or through our professional services. You just need to ask us.
From the Network connectivity, secure transport of data from edge to cloud is managed here. OpenGate supports multiple network and communication channels including SIM-based networks for NB‑IoT and LTE-M, LPWAN (Sigfox, LoRa), and IP protocols (HTTP, MQTT, CoAP). This layer ensures encrypted, bi-directional connectivity, with VPNs (as special request), firewalling, load balancing, and SIM/LPWAN lifecycle management. This SIM lifecycle management is integrated as part of the OpenGate IoT Platform capabilities thanks to our mobile communications providers connectors like Kite.
OpenGate’s Connector Factory is a cornerstone feature designed to simplify and accelerate integrations in complex IoT ecosystems. It empowers organizations to seamlessly connect external systems, ML/AI pipelines, device fleets, communications services, and more—without needing extensive coding efforts. This layer offers a Plug and play with pre-built connectors for critical systems and services:
These connectors guarantee secure, two-way communication and are configured visually via the OpenGate UX layer, GUI Web Console
When out-of-the-box doesn’t cut it, Connector Functions - cf(x) let you tailor data flows in minutes using simple JavaScript:
