The product lines also include payment gateways, dial to IP converters, cellular gateways, remote access and management software, remote access software and control automation software.^[4]

SysSCRIPT enables customers to interconnect Industrial IoT devices without the need for software development teams.^[7] SysSCRIPT enabled Systech to win the Best Gateway Strategy Award in IoT Evolution's Eighth “Battle of the Platforms” on August 17, 2015.^[8]

Markets

The product lines serve the Internet of Things (IoT) market with particular emphasis on the Machine to Machine (M2M) submarket and the larger Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT) submarket.^{[9] [10]} Over 350,000 Systech devices are installed worldwide.^[11]

Interoperability

Systech is a member of the Open Connectivity Foundation (OCF)^[12] whose objective is connecting the 25+ billion^[13] Internet of Things (IoT) devices across multiple platforms and Operating Systems using a common, interoperable approach that includes security. A recent World Economic Forum report notes the Lack of Interoperability or Standards is the greatest barrier inhibiting business from adopting the Industrial Internet (of Things) along with Security.^[14]

Systech was an early adopter when it completed certification of the SysLINK M2M Gateway as ThingWorx Ready^[15] as part of the ThingWorx Partner Program^[16] before PTC acquired ThingWorx.^[17]
