What Activio does
Activio is a Bangkok-headquartered IoT services company, founded in 2017, that helps Japanese vendors launch and operate connected-device products across ASEAN markets. Its core offering is regulatory certification: it secures NBTC (Thailand), MIC (Vietnam), and IMDA (Singapore) approvals for IoT devices across Class A, Class B, Class C, and SDoC categories, charging 188,000-248,000 yen per filing. Beyond certification, Activio bundles procurement, local installation, multilingual operations support, and ongoing maintenance so that a Japanese firm can deploy devices in Thailand, Vietnam, or Singapore without building its own local entity.
The company's revenue mix combines three streams: (1) professional services for wireless certification filings, (2) hardware resale through its IoT Store online storefront — NBTC-certified gateways, wireless sensors, and single-board computers including the Armadillo-IoT G3 industrial gateway, and (3) packaged IoT solutions such as FlowLineTracker, a WiFi-sensor-based crowd and dwell-time analytics service priced around 4,980 THB/month, plus the e-FUJIYAMA IoT solution platform. Activio also offers embedded and cloud software development as an add-on capability.
Go-to-market is B2B enterprise sales-led, targeting Japanese firms with IoT products seeking to overcome four 'walls' — per-country certification, lack of local installation staff, language diversity, and absence of an existing customer base in-market. The company is privately held and bootstrapped, with no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and headcount reported at 1-10 employees as of the most recent data. Marketing relies on a Thai-language sub-site, a regulatory blog, Smart Factory seminars in Bangkok, and direct sales engagement.

Activio competitors and assessment
Company assessmentEmerging players
- Actility: Actility is a global IoT connectivity platform (LoRaWAN) with operations across Asia-Pacific. It is comparable to Activio as a service provider helping enterprises deploy IoT infrastructure across multiple regulatory jurisdictions.
- Soracom: Soracom is a global IoT connectivity platform provider with operations in Japan and a presence serving customers expanding internationally. It is comparable to Activio in addressing Japanese companies deploying IoT solutions cross-border, though its focus is on cellular connectivity rather than regulatory certification.
Direct peers
- Macnica: Macnica is a Japanese electronics and IoT semiconductor distributor with strong ASEAN operations. Like Activio, it helps Japanese technology vendors bring hardware products and IoT solutions into Southeast Asian markets through local sales, technical support, and integration services.
- TOYO Corporation: TOYO Corporation is a Japanese measurement and wireless communications equipment provider that helps Japanese companies navigate international wireless certification and regulatory compliance. It is comparable to Activio's wireless certification business for Japanese IoT manufacturers expanding abroad.
Broad incumbents
- Intertek: Intertek provides testing and regulatory certification services for wireless and IoT products globally, including ASEAN markets. It overlaps with Activio's wireless certification (NBTC, MIC, IMDA) services.
- Bureau Veritas: Bureau Veritas is a global TIC firm offering testing and certification services for wireless/IoT devices across ASEAN. It is comparable to Activio's wireless certification line but at a much larger global scale and across more verticals.
- TÜV Rheinland: TÜV Rheinland is a global testing, inspection, and certification (TIC) provider with operations across ASEAN. While broader than Activio, it competes directly in wireless/radio type approval services in Thailand (NBTC) and other ASEAN markets.
- Omron: Omron is a Japanese industrial IoT and automation provider with significant ASEAN presence through local sales and service operations. It shares Activio's profile of deploying Japanese-originated IoT solutions across Southeast Asia with local installation and support.
- Yokogawa Electric: Yokogawa is a Japanese industrial automation and IoT company with established ASEAN operations. While much larger, its industrial IoT deployment model across Thailand and ASEAN overlaps with Activio's support of Japanese companies' IoT rollouts in the region.
Regional players
- UnaBiz: UnaBiz is a Singapore-headquartered IoT connectivity and solutions provider focused on Southeast Asia. It overlaps with Activio's regional IoT service positioning, though its core is LPWA/Sigfox connectivity rather than regulatory certification.
