Skkynet Top10 Winner at Nokia Open Innovation Challenge 2015

Demos using Skkynet’s SkkyHub™ and DataHub® featured at the Nokia pavilion in the Slush high-tech entrepreneur/investor gathering in Helsinki.

Mississauga, Ontario, November 11, 2015 – Skkynet Cloud Systems, Inc. (“Skkynet” or “the Company”) (OTCQB:SKKY), a global leader in real-time cloud information systems, has been selected by Nokia as a Top10 winner in the Nokia Open Innovation Challenge 2015 in Helsinki. Among the resulting opportunities to collaborate with Nokia, Skkynet’s SkkyHub™ service and DataHub® software will be demonstrated at the Nokia pavilion at Slush, a gathering of 15,000 tech entrepreneurs, investors and journalists also held in Helsinki, on November 11-12.

Skkynet’s solutions primarily serve the $145B global industrial automation market, which by some estimates is expected to reach $202B by the year 2020 at a CAGR of 6.73% from 2015 to 2020. Meeting the growing need for access to remote data across a range of industrial market verticals, Skkynet is uniquely positioned for the “Industrial Internet of Things” or “Internet 4.0” because unlike the traditional approach for industrial systems, network security is built-in—not just an add-on.

“Nokia’s validation of Skkynet’s innovative approach to the Industrial IoT is well timed,” said Paul Thomas, President of Skkynet. “Leaders of industry are demanding high security solutions for the Industrial IoT that deliver real-time performance, and they need a solution that works seamlessly with existing equipment and data protocols. Skkynet is the only supplier that offers to smoothly integrate IoT and SCADA systems, while preserving the in-plant experience. Further, the SkkyHub service provides a unique opportunity for our partners by offering them a shared revenue model.”

The Nokia Open Innovation Challenge is held annually to discover and develop new talent and ideas for the telecommunications industries. “Today, the pace of innovation matters more and more in our daily lives and, at Nokia, we are showing our openness to incorporating innovations from all around us,” said Hossein Moiin, Executive Vice President, Chief Technology Officer for Nokia Networks. “Our objective is to reach out to the brightest innovators and experts in the IoT domain so that we, together, can help build a future that will benefit us all.”

Skkynet takes an evolutionary approach to the Industrial IoT by combining its DataHub software, Embedded Toolkit (ETK), and SkkyHub service to provide complete in-plant data communication and integration that can easily add support for IoT applications like M2M, remote data access, field service management, real-time analytics, and predictive maintenance. The smooth transition from SCADA to IoT is facilitated by SkkyHub’s secure-by-design system architecture that requires no open firewalls, no VPNs, and no programming or changes to the IT infrastructure. In practical terms, Skkynet offers a “drop-in” upgrade for remote connectivity that works very effectively with today’s systems, preserving existing infrastructure investments.

Skkynet Partners with Renesas in Verified Software Add-on (VSA) Program

Skkynet’s SkkyHub™ expands capabilities of Renesas Synergy™ Platform by providing secure, end-to-end IoT connectivity.

Mississauga, Ontario, October 13, 2015 – Skkynet Cloud Systems, Inc. (“Skkynet” or “the Company”) (OTCQB:SKKY), a global leader in real-time cloud information systems, has become a partner in the Renesas Synergy Verified Software Add-on (VSA) Program, enabling real-time connectivity between Renesas Synergy’s embedded development system and Skkynet’s SkkyHub™ secure Internet of Things (IoT) service. As a VSA partner, Skkynet’s SkkyHub will be fully verified by Renesas as compatible with current and future releases of the Synergy Software Package (SSP), an integral part of the Renesas Synergy Platform. Seamless integration with SkkyHub is expected to reduce barriers to entry into the IoT for industrial and embedded developers using the Renesas Synergy Platform.

“The ability to connect to SkkyHub will put Renesas Synergy Platform users immediately onto the Industrial IoT,” said Paul Thomas, President of Skkynet. “Our comprehensive, end-to-end service lets developers, engineers, and end-users securely connect to industrial systems using standard protocols, with no open firewall ports and no VPN. By leveraging secure-by-design technology, Renesas Synergy users will be able to start exchanging data with other embedded devices, OPC servers and clients, Modbus devices, Excel spreadsheets, ODBC databases and web browsers, right from day one.”

Understanding that time to market is a critical factor in the success of any IoT device, Renesas introduced the Renesas Synergy Platform earlier this year, which is an integration of qualified software, scalable microcontrollers (MCUs), hardware solutions and tools designed to reduce development time, lower the total cost of ownership, and eliminate obstacles that engineers face when developing products for the IoT. The Renesas Synergy VSA Program was launched as a way to broaden the value of the Synergy Platform and give customers access to specialized software like SkkyHub that is already verified as compatible with the Synergy Software Package and solutions.

“The IoT will enable new business models that require innovative applications. We created the Synergy VSA Program as a way to make sure customers have access to specialized software they’ll need to take their IoT designs from concept to production quickly and efficiently. We take the integration guesswork away because all VSA software is verified by Renesas to be compatible with the Synergy SSP,” said Mark Rootz, Marketing Director with the IoT Business Unit, Renesas Electronics. “Our VSA partners will also benefit from the program as it will allow them to access the large customer base of the global leader in MCUs.”

In addition to connecting to SkkyHub, Skkynet’s Verified Software Add-on (VSA) will also let users of the Renesas Synergy Platform immediately integrate with virtually any new or existing industrial system, by connecting seamlessly to the Cogent DataHub®. This leading industrial middleware product supports local network applications and industrial protocols such as OPC, DDE, ODBC, TCP and Modbus. Out-of-the-box connectivity to both the Cogent DataHub and SkkyHub provides Renesas Synergy users a complete, end-to-end connectivity solution, protecting their investments in existing equipment while ensuring an open path to the Industrial IoT right now, or in the future.
