Along with off-the-shelf hardware, MOKO SMART offers firmware customization, industrial design, and comprehensive product lifecycle support, which makes the company a trusted OEM and ODM partner for large-scale IoT rollouts.

About Kaa

Kaa is an enterprise-ready IoT platform designed to simplify the development and management of connected solutions. It offers a modular architecture that supports:

• Massive device connectivity and lifecycle management;
• Real-time data collection and telemetry routing;
• Custom dashboards and data visualization;
• Remote configuration and OTA firmware updates;
• Rule-based automation and alerts.

Kaa supports a wide variety of IoT use cases across industries – from energy and transportation to agriculture and industrial IoT. With built-in scalability, multi-tenancy, and flexibility for cloud and on-premises deployment, Kaa enables engineering teams to focus on application logic rather than infrastructure.

The goals of this partnership and advantages for customers

The primary goal of this partnership is to enable plug-and-play integration between MOKO SMART edge devices and the Kaa IoT platform. This will create a seamless experience from device activation to complete data visibility. The collaboration is focused on:

• Ready-made templates and UI widgets

Kaa provides pre-configured device profiles, telemetry structures, and dashboard widgets. This allows developers to visualize data as soon as a device is connected.

• Rapid prototyping

The pre-integrated ecosystem significantly reduces the time required for proof-of-concept (PoC) development, allowing teams to move from lab testing to pilot deployment in a matter of days.

So, this partnership delivers concrete benefits to system integrators, OEMs, and IoT developers looking to build and scale connected solutions:

OTA firmware management

Kaa’s integrated firmware management module supports OTA (Over-the-Air) updates for selected MOKO SMART devices. Teams can remotely distribute firmware packages, schedule update windows, verify success rates, and implement rollback procedures – all via the platform’s user interface or APIs. This centralized management eliminates the need for separate firmware delivery tools and simplifies long-term device maintenance.

Advanced data visualization and insights

Each supported device type is matched with default telemetry mappings and dashboard widgets in Kaa. This includes:

• Real-time sensor graphs (e.g., temperature, energy usage, motion);
• Status indicators for device health and connectivity;
• Event logging for triggers such as sensor thresholds, location changes, or battery levels.

Protocol and network flexibility

Kaa supports all major IoT transport protocols, including MQTT, HTTP, CoAP, and LoRaWAN. For LoRa-based MOKO SMART devices, Kaa can receive data via third-party LoRa Network Servers (LNS) such as The Things Stack, ChirpStack, etc. This flexibility enables customers to mix and match device types, connectivity models, and network providers while managing all telemetry and logic within a single platform.

Enterprise-grade scalability and security

Kaa is built to scale from small deployments to thousands of devices, with full support for:

• Multi-tenancy. Isolate data and operations across different customers, business units, or environments.
• Role-based access control. Define fine-grained permissions for users and applications.
• Data security. Encrypted communication channels, audit logging, and compliance features.
• Flexible deployment models: Cloud, Kaa-hosted, or self-hosted deployments.

This makes it suitable for highly regulated industries or projects with stringent data sovereignty requirements.

Final words

The Kaa & MOKO SMART partnership represents a significant leap toward a more modular, integrated, and developer-friendly IoT ecosystem. We’re eliminating common integration barriers that slow down innovation by ensuring seamless interoperability between device and platform layers. The combination of Kaa and MOKO SMART provides a ready-to-use foundation for moving fast without sacrificing reliability, scalability, or control.
