CTHINGS.CO and partners bring interoperability to Verizon UK London Hub

CTHINGS.CO showcases interoperability at Verizon UK London Hub with its Orchestra Platform, enabling secure, real-time management of disperse IoT ecosystems.

In today’s IoT landscape, organizations are deploying more devices, more sensors, and more networks than ever before.

Having more connectivity isn’t the same as having more control. The real challenge is ensuring diverse systems from different vendors, operating on different protocols, can work seamlessly together.  

At CTHINGS.CO, we believe the answer is interoperability by design, and we’re bringing that to life at the Verizon UK London Hub, where our Orchestra Platform is running live, managing a multi-vendor, multi-protocol IoT ecosystem in real time. 

From Silos to Synergy: Interoperability at the Edge 

IoT conversations often focus on more devices, more data, and more connectivity. The true opportunity, however, is turning these fragmented systems into a unified network that delivers actionable insights and control across the entire operation.

Why Interoperability Matters Now 

Edge computing is expanding rapidly, with the edge computing market size estimated at 249.06 billion by 2030, driving a surge in connected devices worldwide. Each device serves a purpose, but without a unified way to monitor, manage, and orchestrate them, you end up with fragmented systems, higher costs, and slower responses. 

 To truly harness the potential of these connected devices, organizations need a platform that delivers speed, scalability, agility, and control, allowing businesses to: 

• Get value faster — avoiding costly, time-consuming custom integrations 

• Scale with confidence — from 10 devices to 10,000 without rethinking the whole architecture 

• Stay agile — adding new technologies as they emerge, without vendor lock-in 
• Keep total control — with clear visibility, security, and compliance across the whole network 

That’s where the CTHINGS.CO Orchestra Platform comes in. It gives operations teams one place to see, control, and optimize everything, regardless of vendor, protocol, or network type. 

A Live Example: The Verizon UK London Hub Demo 

We’ve recently deployed our solution at Verizon UK London Hub. The showcase brings together CTHINGS.CO Edge IoT Gateways with 5G, LTE, and Wirepas Mesh connectivity, alongside a diverse set of Wirepas ecosystem partner devices. Vendors featured include BlueUp, Ela Innovation, FCL Components,  Fujitsu, Cavea by Bornemann Group, Cargobeacon, Intrex, Ingy, and Tatwah. 

The devices on display cover a wide range of use cases: 

• Asset tracking tags for logistics, healthcare, and industrial environments 

• Condition monitoring sensors for predictive maintenance 

• Environmental and air quality sensors for smart buildings and hospitals 

• Employee safety wearables for construction and manufacturing sites 

• BLE beacons and wireless Modbus bridges for legacy integration 

• Smart indoor and outdoor lighting for buildings and cities 

 Every device, every network, and every data stream is orchestrated in real time through a single pane of glass. 

The Orchestra Advantage 

Our platform goes beyond visibility, turning insights into action.  

As a unified orchestration layer, Orchestra seamlessly connects hardware, applications, and networks. Key capabilities include:  

• Centralized control: single-pane control for apps or custom code, configurations, and updates across gateways and sensors. 

• Orchestra AI Assistant: instant diagnostics, anomaly detection, and recommended actions to reduce mean-time-to-repair. 

• Containerized Application Lifecycle Management (CALM): fleet-wide app rollouts, rollback, and secure runtime isolation. 

• Real-time visibility: live KPIs (battery, RSSI, throughput) and map-based situational awareness. 

• Network-aware control: real-time insights and troubleshooting across all network types, including mesh, cellular, non-cellular, and legacy protocols. 

• Zero-Trust security: role-based access, encryption in transit and at rest, and audit trails for compliance. 
• Integration-ready: connectors for SCADA/Modbus, MQTT, cloud platforms, and third-party analytics. 

Whether you’re scaling Industry 4.0 operations, rolling out smart city infrastructure, or managing critical facility environments, interoperability means faster deployment, fewer headaches, and more value from your IoT investment. 

Seeing is Believing 

Interoperability is no longer optional. It’s the foundation for the next decade of connected systems. 

 The demo at the Verizon UK London Hub isn’t just a tech showcase, it’s proof that multi-vendor, multi-protocol IoT ecosystems can be managed as one. Visitors can experience firsthand how Orchestra turns complexity into clarity, transforming raw data into actionable insights and real-time control. 

Wherever your IoT landscape is, Orchestra can bring the same level of visibility, orchestration, and agility to your operations.
