Created by former Google engineer Gaku Ueda and former Yahoo engineer Ethan Kan, MODE is a cloud platform that takes care of the most essential function of any IoT system: connecting mobile applications with hardware devices in real time. The platform provides an intuitive cloud API for devices, mobile clients, and application servers. IoT developers can utilize MODE as the backend infrastructure throughout the entire development cycle, from prototyping to product launch. MODE serves as a virtual backend team for IoT companies. By handling all of the backend services, such as user and device management and secure real-time access control, companies that use MODE can focus on the things that matter the most to their users, like hardware manufacturing and mobile user experience. With IoT startups in mind, including those with Kickstarter and IndieGoGo projects, MODE has implemented free prototyping on its platform in addition to a flexible pricing structure for mass production. IoT is a growing industry that will eventually effect our everyday lives. Tech.Co recently interviewed Jonathan Spalter, Chair of Mobile Future, where he shared his view on the role IoT will play in the mobile industry. Mode is available for use by IoT developers and works with any devices or mobile operating systems.
