Access all devices on the same network,
removing complex configurations; Currently available on

PALO
ALTO, Calif., July 24,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Remote.It, a
premier SaaS-based network connectivity management platform,
today released its open source project to enable Raspberry Pi
Bluetooth (BLE) WiFi Network Configuration. The new open source
project allows a computer or mobile device to easily transfer a
WiFi configuration via Bluetooth, the same way users set up smart
devices around the house.
The creators and developers in the Raspberry Pi community are
made up of amateur developers, students, and expert engineers who
all love bringing their unique projects to life with Raspberry Pi
devices. Remote.It's solution ensures these users have an easy
solution to share WiFi settings with their Pis with ease.
"The Raspberry Pi is the platform of choice for many of our
partners building edge and IoT devices, and when those devices are
delivered into the field, one of the challenges has been the
ability to easily onboard headless devices on Wi-Fi," says
Ryo Koyama, CEO and co-founder of
Remote.It. "With this solution, we wanted to provide the entire
Raspberry Pi community with an easy drop-in solution that allows
quick and easy wi-fi onboarding using a browser or mobile app."
Configuring a Raspberry Pi to a WiFi Network usually involves
either:
- Manual configuration - The traditional keyboard and monitor
method is used to set up the network directly on the device.
Requires a local connection to the device which slows
deployment.
- Pre-configured SD cards or USB drives —
Pre-configured network settings allow for quick connections but do
not offer the flexibility to change settings before or after
deployment.
With the Remote.It Bluetooth WiFi Network Onboarding solution,
users can connect to Pi devices from their smartphones or computers
via Bluetooth and share their WiFi settings. No local keyboard or
monitor is required, and users can easily set up and reconfigure
WiFi.
The open source project is hosted on GitHub.
Remote.It provides ready-to-use Raspberry Pi images for download
so users can get Pi running quickly. Users get the added benefit of
Remote.It's partners & developer ecosystem while running the
Remote.It project.

About Remote.It
Remote.It was founded by networking experts who previously
invented and implemented the first hardware TCP/IP stack in silicon
logic (acquired by NVIDIA). Leveraging their deep knowledge of the
network stack, they invented core technology that enables direct
access to any specific service anywhere, while eliminating the need
for any of the vulnerabilities associated with the open ports
typically associated with remote access. The company has been
granted seven patents on its core technology. We believe in
securely connecting everything by enabling users to build private
networks within the internet that only they can see. We provide
zero trust IT/OT networking as a service. Remote.It is available
via free download, to learn more visit www.remote.it.
