I founded GridVortex to pursue opportunities in the emerging connected infrastructure called by some as the IoT. We focus on large scale urban infrastructure projects, with highly scalable intelligent systems. Our vision of the infrastructure IoT is that it must NOT be a passive network of sensors connected to the cloud. The blind, cloud-centric approach that appears to be the mainstream makes such systems fragile and network dependent.

We focus on large scale urban infrastructure projects, with highly scalable intelligent systems. Our vision of the infrastructure IoT is that it must NOT be a passive network of sensors connected to the cloud. The blind, cloud-centric approach that appears to be the mainstream makes such systems fragile and network dependent. Our systems are designed to withstand intelligent attacks and adapt to city behaviour. Using IPv6, ARM processors and the highest crypto standards, we are implementing the next wave of IoT technology.We design and manufacture intelligent distributed control nodes for Public Lighting, utility management and realtime management of city events.GridVortex continuously invest in R&D of technologies for secure IoT, microCloud distributed processing and node intelligence. The company is committed to be a global player on the technologies for the future cities, and is right now involved in large scale IoT projects in several of the world's largest cities.GridVortex has offices in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and is opening GridVortex Systems in San Jose, CA.
