EMQ Technologies

EMQ Technologies is a real-time IoT data infrastructure company founded in 2017 and headquartered in Menlo Park, California, United States, building on the open-source EMQX MQTT broker first released in 2013. The company was formed to give enterprises a reliable way to connect, move and process data streaming from millions of distributed devices.

Its core product, EMQX, is a distributed MQTT messaging platform that connects devices to cloud, AI and analytics systems, with enterprise features for high-availability clustering and security. Automotive and manufacturing customers such as BMW, Volkswagen, Geely, Scania and TSMC use it for connected-vehicle and factory data streaming.

1. MQTT broker at scale: EMQX handles millions of concurrent device connections in one cluster.

2. High availability: Distributed clustering keeps messaging running through node failures.

3. Rule engine: Built-in rules route and transform data to cloud, database and AI destinations.

4. Multi-protocol support: Bridges MQTT with Kafka, HTTP and other enterprise messaging systems.

5. Deployment flexibility: Available as managed cloud service or self-managed on-premise install.

6. Security controls: TLS/SSL, authentication and access control protect device connections.
