About Us

We Are Western Canada's IoT Experts
Citykinect is a technology-agnostic, full-stack solutions architect and consultant for IoT applications serving Western Canadian businesses and government.
Through several large and small projects using various IoT technologies, and coupled with the prior experience that our team brought when Citykinect was formed in 2018, we have an a lot of experience in an industry that is still in its infancy. In fact, we can confidently say we have more expertise with IoT sensors, gateways, application servers, networking standards, middleware, security, cloud analytics platforms and more, than anyone else in Western Canada.
Our experience is deep, but it’s also wide. Below are just a few ways we can help.

Consulting
We can help you think "smart", leveraging our experience in real world applications to help guide your IoT spending with maximum efficiency. This includes recommending various methods of utilizing IoT technologies to make buildings and cities more efficient, lower their energy use or reduce operational costs. In short we'll help you develop your digital strategy.
We are familiar with virtually all sensors and gateways available on the market, and we know the pros and cons of each—which are the best bang-for-the-buck, and which look good on paper but will cause headaches later.
Our experience is an asset here—"our pain is for sale"!
Design, Supply, Build, Install
We are delighted to play any role you need us to in your project. For example you may need someone just to install your LPWAN network in your office building. Or you may have no idea where to start and need someone to both guide you, provide the equipment and install it. We can wear any hat you want us to.
If you already have existing analog or SDI-12 sensors but have not implemented a low-power, wide-area network, such as a LoRaWAN network, we can help you minimize your costs by utilizing the assets you already have.
A Better Data Network Provider
A cellular LPWAN may be the right choice for your Smart City or Smart Building project, especially considering existing cellular network infrastructure can be used.
As a cellular network operator, we can offer the exact same Canada-wide cellular network as the "big 3" (Rogers, Bell, Telus) for your data. Not only is setup simplified (you don't need to deal with the sales, engineering and customer service departments of either of these massive companies), but we can offer extremely competitive pricing and far more personal (and responsive) service. Plus, you gain the flexibility to switch between networks at any time, in the event one network has better coverage than another.
Monitoring-as-a-Service
Another thing that experience has taught us is that sometimes the capital cost of a project gets in the way of attaining goals. At the very least it can slow down a project.
We can help by providing a full smart city or smart building solution on a subscription basis. Just like you pay for cloud-based software, an all-inclusive package can provide the sensors, gateways, network and all service for one flat rate per sensor location.
