Comparison

Hyper Network vs AWS IoT Core

AWS IoT Core is a powerful cloud service but it comes with significant complexity, cloud dependency and unpredictable costs. Hyper Network offers enterprise-grade IoT connectivity with flexible deployment, transparent pricing and hands-on support — without locking you into a single hyperscaler.

What AWS IoT Core does well

  • Large ecosystem of AWS services for data processing and storage
  • Scalable to billions of devices with global AWS infrastructure
  • Broad protocol support (MQTT, HTTP, WebSockets)

Where AWS IoT Core falls short

  • Complex pricing model with costs that escalate rapidly at scale
  • Requires deep AWS expertise to architect and manage effectively
  • Strong cloud lock-in makes migration difficult and costly
  • Limited edge processing capability without additional services
  • Support is ticket-based with limited hands-on technical assistance

Why organisations choose Hyper Network

Transparent Pricing

Flat-rate pricing models make costs predictable as your deployment scales — no surprise bills from message counts or data egress.

Managed Service

Hyper Network handles infrastructure, security and connectivity so your team can focus on building applications, not managing cloud plumbing.

Edge-First Architecture

Processing happens at the edge, reducing latency and cloud data transfer costs while enabling offline operation.

UK-Based Support

Dedicated UK technical support team with deep IoT expertise, not a global support queue.

No Lock-In

Open standards and portable data mean you are never tied to a single vendor or infrastructure.
