What Bivocom Technologies does

Bivocom Technologies is a Chinese industrial IoT and M2M wireless solutions provider headquartered in Xiamen, with two owned manufacturing facilities (10+ SMT lines, 500,000+ pcs/month capacity) and 101-250 employees of whom over 35% are in R&D. The company designs and produces a broad portfolio of rugged cellular/5G/LoRa routers, edge gateways, RTUs, GNSS receivers, smart pole gateways, and vehicle gateways, plus a cloud-based device management platform (Bivocom IoT Platform / DMP) and an OEM/ODM service for white-label partners.

Its technology stack is multi-OS — Bivocom OS based on OpenWrt, with independent Ubuntu Core adaptation across four flagship gateways (TG452/TG462/TG462S/TG465) — and supports industrial SCADA protocols (Modbus, DNP3, IEC 61850, BACnet, IEC 101/104, OPC UA, MQTT) alongside cloud integrations with AWS IoT, Azure IoT Hub, Google Cloud, and ThingsBoard. The TG465 flagship adds a 1 TOPS NPU and quad-core ARM Cortex-A55 for edge AI workloads (TensorFlow Lite, OpenVINO), with Docker/K3s containerization and 10-year Ubuntu LTS alignment to industrial asset lifecycles.

Bivocom monetizes primarily via quote-based hardware sales (no public price list) supplemented by custom firmware packages, professional integration services, OEM/ODM customization, and a recurring cloud device management subscription. Distribution combines direct enterprise sales with a formal certified Channel Partner program spanning Carriers/ISP, Distributors, System Integrators, VAR/Resellers, and OEM/ODM partners across 90+ countries, targeting verticals including smart cities, power/utilities, water/wastewater/oil & gas, agriculture, industrial automation, smart buildings, transportation, and renewable energy.

Core offering

Bivocom designs, manufactures, and sells rugged industrial IoT and M2M wireless hardware including 5G/4G cellular routers, industrial edge gateways, cellular RTUs, modems, LoRa devices, smart pole gateways, vehicle gateways, and GNSS receivers, paired with a cloud-based IoT Device Management Platform and OEM/ODM customization services. The portfolio translates legacy SCADA protocols (Modbus, DNP3, IEC 61850, BACnet, IEC 101/104) into cloud-friendly MQTT/HTTP/JSON streams, with edge AI/ML and Docker programmability, and is sold to industrial operators, utilities, system integrators, and channel partners across 90+ countries.

Product overview

Bivocom offers a platform-plus-modules architecture of rugged industrial IoT and M2M connectivity hardware rather than a single unified product. The portfolio is anchored by the Bivocom IoT Platform (cloud management) and spans seven hardware families: 5G routers/gateways (TR323, TG453, TG463, TG465), cellular modems (TD210, TW810), cellular routers (TR321, TR341), cellular RTUs (TG501, TY511), IoT edge gateways (TG451, TG452, TG462/TG462S, plus the TG462S-B5 lighting controller), LoRa gateways/modems (TW820, TG501 Outdoor LoRa RTU, TG452 LoRa Gateway), GNSS receivers (TN531), smart pole gateways (TG473 / TG473 Lite SFP PoE), and vehicle gateways (VG465). These devices share a common Bivocom OS (OpenWrt-based) plus optional Ubuntu and Docker support, integrate with cloud platforms (AWS IoT, Azure IoT Hub, Google Cloud, ThingsBoard) and field protocols (Modbus, BACnet, DNP3, IEC 61850, OPC UA, IEC 101/104, MQTT), and are complemented by an OEM/ODM manufacturing service covering PCB design through high-volume SMT production.
