What Systech does

Systech Corporation is a privately held U.S. manufacturer of cellular IoT gateways and supporting software, founded in 1980 and headquartered in San Diego, California, with 51-100 employees and a claimed installed base of over 1 million gateways across mission-critical applications worldwide. The company designs and assembles its hardware in the United States and sells through a three-tier channel of value-added resellers, system integrators, and OEM partners who white-label the hardware with custom branding and applications.

The product portfolio centers on two hardware families. SysLINK is a modular IoT gateway line (SL-500, SL-600, SL-800, SL-1500) with a swappable mini-PCIe cellular option card (SysCONNECT) supporting up to eight simultaneous wireless interfaces including Cellular, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Zigbee, Z-Wave, Ethernet, USB, and Serial, running a Linux OS with local edge processing. SysCORE is a commercial-grade cellular router family with hardened security (VPN, IPSec, OpenVPN) and a dedicated Connected Health variant. The hardware is pre-certified with major U.S. cellular carriers (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile), PTCRB, and FCC, and carries medical-relevant safety and EMC certifications (IEC 60601-1-2, CISPR 32, IEC 60950-1). Supporting software includes SysSCRIPT (a graphical local scripting tool that reportedly reduces M2M development time from months to minutes), SOUP (a cloud-based remote gateway management platform bundled free with hardware), ONDEMAND (an annual-license remote access system), NativeCOM (Windows COM port redirection), and Modbus Gateway software. The company also sells an NDS/iNS family of serial-to-IP network device servers for industrial environments.

Systech generates revenue primarily through hardware sales of gateways, cellular modem cards, and industrial network servers, with a smaller recurring revenue layer from ONDEMAND annual software licenses and software re-marketing rights for qualified integrators. Its end customers are reached exclusively through channel partners and span five primary verticals: connected health (the most heavily productized vertical), building automation, smart energy, kiosk/ATM, and digital signage. The business carries an industry-leading 5-year warranty and is positioned as a long-lifecycle, field-proven alternative to faster-turnover consumer IoT vendors.
