Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS

Your Partner for IoT and Industry 4.0 Applications

Cyberphysical systems are the basic elements for connecting machines and processes to internet-based IoT or industrial applications. Technologies for precise positioning, for self-organizing communication together with efficient energy management solutions are essential for the digital transformation.

mioty®

mioty®, a miniaturized IoT platform developed by Fraunhofer IIS, sets new standards in the field of wireless data transmission when it comes to cost efficiency, transmission range, and transmission security. It relies on an asymmetrical transmission method that uses scores of simple sensor nodes and a complex receiver. The mioty® technology can be licensed for IoT and Industry 4.0 applications.

mioty: Made in Europe, for Europe - Enabling a Resilient European IoT Ecosystem

We are happy to invite you to "mioty: Made in Europe, for Europe - Enabling a Resilient European IoT Ecosystem" taking place on Wednesday, December 3, 2025 from 12:00 - 3:30 p.m., in Brussels.

As Europe seeks to enhance its strategic autonomy and reduce dependencies on non-European technologies — particularly in light of increasing geopolitical tensions and global supply chain vulnerabilities — the resilience of our digital and technological infrastructure is more critical than ever.

European Leaders in IoT are going to present real solutions for the need to strengthen Europe's position across the entire Internet of Things (IoT) value chain, from sensor technologies and connectivity to data sovereignty and application platforms. In this context, mioty, a European-born low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) technology, stands out as a strategic enabler of secure, robust, and energy-efficient IoT communication.
