Secure IoT & Edge Device Management Platform For Fleets

SocketXP is an enterprise-grade IoT device management platform built to orchestrate connected hardware and high-compute edge infrastructure. Engineered natively for Linux environments (including Raspberry Pi OS, Ubuntu, and Debian), the cloud-based platform enables secure IoT remote access, automated edge software deployment via OTA, and real-time fleet monitoring for thousands of distributed devices behind strict corporate firewalls, NATs, and CGNATs without a VPN.

SocketXP installs a lightweight agent on your IoT or Linux device. The agent creates an outbound SSL/TLS encrypted reverse proxy tunnel to the SocketXP cloud gateway. This allows you to securely SSH, VNC, RDP, or HTTP into your device from anywhere in the world through the SocketXP web portal or standard clients, even when the device is behind a firewall or NAT router.

SocketXP supports any Linux-based hardware including Raspberry Pi, NVIDIA Jetson, Arduino, Intel, AMD and any ARM or x86 embedded Linux device. It works over any network including WiFi, Ethernet, 3G/4G/5G cellular, and Starlink satellite.

SocketXP uses mutual TLS (mTLS) authentication and SSL/TLS encryption for all connections. It implements a Zero-Trust security model, meaning no inbound firewall ports are opened. All device-to-cloud communication is outbound-only. Team members can access your devices only after a successful SSO based login to the platform.

Yes. SocketXP is a VPN-free remote access solution. Unlike a VPN, SocketXP does not require you to reconfigure your router, open firewall ports, or manage complex network overlays. Each device gets a unique secure tunnel, which is simpler to manage and more secure than a shared VPN network.

Yes. SocketXP provides built-in OTA update capabilities for IoT and edge devices. You can remotely deploy firmware updates, application binaries, Debian packages, or Docker container images to individual devices or your entire fleet—with rollback support and deployment tracking.

SocketXP is purpose-built for IoT fleet management at scale. ngrok is a developer tunneling tool with no fleet management. Tailscale is a mesh VPN requiring a control plane and peer-to-peer connectivity. Dataplicity only supports Raspberry Pi. SocketXP combines remote access, OTA updates, monitoring, asset tracking, and RBAC in one platform, works on any ARM or x86 Linux hardware, and supports zero-touch fleet provisioning.

AWS IoT Core and Azure IoT Hub are telemetry data pipelines—they move sensor data to the cloud for storage and processing. SocketXP is an operations platform—you use it to SSH into devices, push software updates, monitor system health, and track asset locations. SocketXP is cloud-agnostic, far simpler to set up, and does not require cloud infrastructure expertise or AWS/Azure accounts.

Yes. SocketXP has a free plan that unlocks all features, including premium ones, for up to 2 devices for 30 days. No credit card is required. Paid plans start at $20/month for Small Business and $99/month for Enterprise, scaling to thousands of devices.

You can connect your first device in under 5 minutes. Install the SocketXP agent with a single command, authenticate with your auth token, and the device appears in your dashboard ready for remote SSH, monitoring, or OTA deployment. No router configuration, firewall rules, or networking expertise needed.

SocketXP is used across agriculture (smart irrigation sensors and soil monitors), healthcare (remote medical devices and diagnostics), automotive and connected vehicles, smart energy (solar inverters and grid sensors), smart cities, industrial automation, and retail (digital signage and kiosks). Any industry deploying Linux-based hardware in the field benefits from centralised remote management.

Yes. SocketXP runs natively on NVIDIA Jetson Nano, Jetson TX2, and Jetson AGX Orin. You can remotely SSH to debug ML pipelines, push model updates as OTA packages, monitor GPU and CPU utilisation, and track device locations—all from the SocketXP dashboard.

No. The SocketXP agent makes an outbound HTTPS connection on port 443 from the device to the cloud gateway. No inbound ports are ever opened. It works through corporate firewalls, carrier-grade NAT (CGNAT), strict MDM policies, and any network that permits normal web traffic.

Yes. SocketXP operates GDPR-compliant cloud gateways including a dedicated EU instance in Frankfurt, Germany for European customers. All data in transit is TLS-encrypted. SocketXP's privacy policy and data processing terms are available at socketxp.com/privacy and socketxp.com/gdpr.

The SocketXP agent automatically reconnects when connectivity is restored—no manual intervention needed. The portal marks the device as offline with a last-seen timestamp, and you can configure an alert to notify your team if the device remains offline longer than a defined threshold.

Yes. SocketXP is available as a self-hosted deployment for enterprises requiring data residency or private cloud isolation. You can run the SocketXP gateway on your own infrastructure—AWS, Azure, GCP, or bare metal. Contact support@socketxp.com for on-premises licensing details.
