Canonical
We are Canonical partners
At Witekio, we are proud to be an official partner of Canonical and an authorized distributor of Ubuntu Pro for Devices and IoT professional services, bringing the power of a production-ready, enterprise-grade operating system to embedded and IoT device makers.
We know that not every company has the internal resources to manage an embedded OS project. That’s why, in addition to our tailored software solutions, we offer off-the-shelf development through Canonical’s Ubuntu—enabling faster time to market and 100% outsourced peace of mind for your devices.
What Witekio & Canonical Can Do Together
End-of-life support for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
With Ubuntu 20.04 LTS reaching the end of standard support in May 2025, device makers and embedded product teams need to act to maintain security, compliance, and long-term stability. Witekio can help you navigate your options—whether that means upgrading to Ubuntu Pro for continued security updates and extended support or migrating to the next free LTS version to stay within the standard Ubuntu support window.
Our expert team ensures a smooth transition, minimizing downtime and avoiding compatibility issues across your software stack.
End-to-End IoT Gateway Solutions
IoT gateways sit at the heart of modern connected solutions, securely collecting and transmitting data from sensors to the cloud. With Canonical’s Ubuntu providing an out-of-the-box OS, Witekio focuses on delivering seamless data collection, secure transmission, and cloud connectivity tailored to your use case.
From sensor integration to data processing and optimization, we ensure that your gateway is not just operational but fully optimized for performance, security, and longevity.
Optimizing Resource-Constrained GatewaysMany IoT gateways operate under tight resource constraints, requiring careful optimization of software and system architecture. Witekio’s expertise ensures:
- Efficient software stacks that maximize performance while minimizing footprint.
- Power optimization to extend device lifecycle and reduce operational costs.
- Robust security from edge to cloud, leveraging Ubuntu’s security features alongside custom hardening strategies.
For those seeking a minimal, secure, and strictly confined operating system, Ubuntu Core offers the robustness needed for industrial embedded devices.
Cloud Connectivity & Secure Data Transmission
Gateway devices typically send data from sensors to a cloud platform, where it can be processed, stored, and analyzed. Major cloud providers like AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud offer IoT services such as AWS IoT Core, Azure IoT, and IoT Connect to manage device communication. However, connecting a gateway to the cloud isn’t just about network access—it requires a robust software layer to process and forward data securely.
How Witekio Helps: :
- Develops custom gateway services, applications, or clients responsible for processing sensor data and sending it securely to the cloud.
- Ensures seamless integration with cloud platforms, whether through MQTT, CoAP, HTTP, or other protocols.
- Implements end-to-end encryption, authentication, and security hardening to protect data in transit.
- Manages device provisioning, firmware updates, and Over-the-Air (OTA) security patches for long-term maintenance.
Edge AI & Machine Learning on the Gateway
IoT Gateways aren’t just data pass-through devices—they can also serve as intelligent processing hubs using Edge AI/ML models. This allows real-time decision-making without relying on the cloud, reducing latency and enabling business-critical actions to occur locally.
How Witekio Helps:
- Deploys and optimizes Edge AI/ML models on gateway devices.
- Enables real-time data processing at the edge for applications like predictive maintenance, anomaly detection, and image recognition.
- Ensures efficient model execution on resource-constrained hardware by leveraging frameworks like TensorFlow Lite, ONNX, or OpenVINO.
- Provides hybrid solutions, where AI/ML models run locally but sync with cloud platforms for long-term learning and model updates.
Whether you need a fully customized gateway solution or a ready-to-deploy system with Ubuntu, Witekio and Canonical provide the expertise to make your embedded system scalable, secure, and future-proof.
