What Telesto Technologies does

Telesto Technologies is a private Athens-based IoT and sensor-network solutions provider founded in 2004, operating with 11-50 employees across offices in Athens (headquarters, Cholargos) and London. The company builds wireless sensor network infrastructure and analytics platforms for smart cities, public safety, precision agriculture, fleet management, and maritime safety, with named offerings including City App, City Dashboard, Cloud4Smart, evaGuide, Safe-on-Board, Man Overboard, OnTheSpot/Wellbeing Monitoring, On-the-Spot FMS, Social Network Monitoring, and Search-the-City Platform. Underlying technical components include hybrid WiFi/BLE-beacon indoor positioning, multimodal sensor fusion across RGB, thermal and radar feeds, computer vision pipelines (image classification, motion tracking, thermal footprint analysis), privacy-preserving traveler counting, NLP-based sentiment analysis, and predictive fleet/risk analytics. Approximately 80% of engineering effort appears to flow through EU-funded research consortia (FP7, H2020, Horizon Europe, and Greek GSRT), where Telesto acts as the technical partner delivering pilots for projects such as SMART, eVACUATE, SafePASS, EVAGUIDE, i3-MARKET, S4AllCities, ODYSSEUS, METIS, BIODIANEA, and AEI. Commercial revenue derives from project-based smart-city deployments for Greek municipalities (City Dashboard, City App), maritime subscriptions (Safe-On-Board for cruise operators, IMO/SOLAS compliant), and Cambium Networks wireless broadband resale; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is quote-driven. The firm holds ISO 9001:2008 and Cambium Authorized Connected Partner status, supporting both regulated procurement and channel expansion.
