In the coming age of extreme connectivity what will be important is not who you are, but what you are connected to. For the devices we use and the buildings we occupy in a wireless and ubiquitously networked world this will be even more vital: they will all need to communicate with each other and share information. Realtime interoperability between various types of entity will be essential. The world will become a vast ‘eco-system’ of conversant devices, buildings and virtual environments.

Pachube is a web-based data brokerage platform that enables designers & manufacturers to connect, tag and share real time sensor data from products, devices, buildings and environments around the world.

Designed to function alongside an existing construction industry format, Extended Environments Markup Language (EEML) is a protocol for sharing sensor data between remote responsive environments, both physical and virtual, fixed and mobile.

PachuBox is a mobile solar-charged sensor box that brings autonomous embedded intelligence to buildings (e.g. under construction) and environments that lack available power or network connections.
