Thinnect offers reliable IoT wireless sensing and control solutions. We offer complete solutions as a service, we create and manage solutions for our white label customers and we license our technology to OEMs.

Thinnect is a technology spin-out from Defendec, which is a company providing intelligent border patrol solutions, co-funded by the CEO of Thinnect, Jurgo Preden. Jurgo was the CTO of Defendec for 6 years, directing the wireless border patrol product development. Jurgo also supported the commercialization of Defendec technology, resulting in its deployment in 30 countries across the world.

Thinnect was formed to exploit the many benefits of the patented technology developed at Defendec. The wireless mesh, security and application layer technology provides multiple advantages in a range of segments such as supply chain and smart environments. This technology has been uniquely developed to optimally support dynamic edge computing (we call this Mist computing). This optimally supports network reuse in many applications, such as Smart Facility, asset tracking, environmental monitoring and others to operate on a single (lighting) network.
