SoM2M#IoT (Synox): sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

SoM2M#IoT is a platform from Synox for managing connected devices and their networks from a single interface. It activates, monitors and provisions IoT devices regardless of connectivity: cellular, WiFi, LPWAN such as LoRa and Sigfox, and satellite. Features include customisable alerts by SMS or email, data routing via MQTT(S) and HTTP(S) to the SoDATA#Viz data platform or another platform of your choice, a map view with device status, data history and a mobile app for installation and tests.

Synox is a French company (SAS) with its registered office in Castelnau-le-Lez. The platform is available as shared SaaS or as dedicated on-premise hosting. According to the vendor, the data centre that hosts its services is located in France. The imprint names OVH as host of the Synox website; the operator of the data centre behind the customer platform is not named, so ask for it. The site mentions no foreign parent company. For European organisations this means European jurisdiction and a choice of shared or dedicated hosting; assess the connectivity layer, such as network operators, separately per project.
