Optimizing Data Reliability and Connectivity with Swarm Hub
Epteck partnered with William from Swarm Systems to develop the "Swarm Hub" platform, aimed at improving automobile infrastructure through enhanced data monitoring and sharing.
Epteck designed a mesh network that ensures seamless connectivity between devices, even if one node loses connection. The platform includes a live dashboard that visualizes the status of node connectivity and disconnection.
This solution significantly enhances data reliability and auto-connectivity, allowing devices to automatically connect and share data even when a node is disconnected, all while minimizing network overload and ensuring efficient data transfer.

What We Did to Solve the Problems
The primary challenge was to add a new feature to the automobile infrastructure that could intelligently monitor and share data among devices or nodes within the network. The existing system lacked efficient and robust connectivity, often resulting in communication failures or data loss when some nodes were disconnected or isolated. There was a need for a more reliable, self-sustaining network where data could be transferred even if a device dropped out.
Improved Network Stability and Data Loss Prevention
The mesh network design strengthened overall network resilience, minimizing downtime and preventing data loss in case of node failure.
Auto-Connectivity with Mesh Network
Our team implemented an intelligent mesh network that enabled devices to auto-connect, ensuring continuous data sharing even if one node was disconnected.
Robust Backend and Frontend Development
We developed both the backend and frontend solutions, enabling smooth system operations and efficient data processing.
Real-Time Data Visualization Dashboard
A dynamic dashboard was built to display real-time node connectivity and disconnection statuses, enhancing network monitoring and management.
End-to-End Swarm Hub Platform Development
We designed and developed the entire Swarm Hub platform to address connectivity challenges faced by William and Swarm Systems, ensuring reliable device communication.
Benefits Delivered to the Customer
Data Reliability
The mesh network ensured that even if one node was disconnected, the remaining nodes could still share and receive data without disruption.
Auto Connectivity of Devices by Mesh Network
Devices automatically connected and communicated with each other through the mesh network, ensuring robust and continuous data sharing across the system.
Resilient Data Sharing Among Devices
Even when a node lost connectivity, other devices in the network could still communicate and share data, preventing any data loss.
Low Network Communication Overload
The mesh network optimized the communication load across the system, reducing potential network congestion and ensuring efficient data transfer.
Swarm's Experience with Epteck
Professional, Solution-Oriented YOCTO BSP Experts
We commissoned epteck to support our inhouse custom STM32MP1 based hardware. They were mostly working on the YOCTO BSP layers, including building secure boot support, YOCTO release upgrades, device tree work. Khalil and his team have always been professional, responsive and knowledgable. I’ve been impressed with the depth of their understanding of YOCTO and BSPs. The conversations were always solution oriented and we achieved our goals in time. I hope to continue to collaborate with them and can only recommend them to other customers.
