Acquiring Minds Wish To Know: The IoT World—TierConnect Is Acquired By Mojix


[SatNews] Mojix, a leading provider of wireless sensor network solutions, has acquired TierConnect and its subsidiary CodeRoad, the creators of a platform for the Internet of Things (IoT) that was recently launched as “ViZix.”

This acquisition enables Mojix to offer comprehensive and fully configurable software solutions with advanced analytics, enabling end-to-end business intelligence and data visibility across multiple industries. This will further bridge the gap between its RFID hardware platform, the edge and IoT. Founded by Gus Rivera and Terrence Crown, TierConnect will bring more than 100 world-class software engineers and a battle-tested IoT platform to Mojix. Crown will serve as Chief Software Architect for Mojix, while Rivera will lead the CodeRoad software division as Managing Director, both reporting to Dr. Sadr, the President and CEO of Mojix.

Working closely together in 2014, Mojix and TierConnect have already jointly deployed their IoT solutions to address supply chain management and worker safety in oil and gas, innovative inventory management solutions for retail, asset tracking in large scale IT environments, and healthcare for Fortune-50 companies.
