Freeeway named “Enterprise IoT Platform of the year 2026“
Prestigious annual Awards Program celebrates a decade of recognizing top Internet-of-Things Innovators around the globe
Vienna, Jan. 14, 2026 – Austrian IoT connectivity provider Freeeway, today announced that its IoT Monetization Hub has been selected as winner of the “Enterprise IoT Platform Innovation Award” in the 10th annual IoT Breakthrough Awards program conducted by IoT Breakthrough, a leading market intelligence organization that recognizes the most innovative companies in the global Internet-of-Things (IoT) market today.
Freeeway’s IoT Monetization Hub allows enterprises and resellers to directly monetize IoT connectivity by transforming devices into subscription-based services. The Hub empowers enterprises to transform dash cams, smart home devices, alarms, EV chargers, PV panels, and more into ready-to-use subscription models. The platform automates subscription management, billing, invoicing, and usage tracking, delivering a complete, scalable monetization engine without the need for building additional infrastructure.
Through the IoT Monetization Hub, Freeeway provides end-to-end business enablement. With white-label capability, enterprises can launch branded IoT services quickly, opening new recurring revenue streams while strengthening customer relationships. The solution enables a unified customer journey from sourcing IoT connectivity to pricing and selling subscriptions to tracking real-time insights for subscription renewals. Enterprises can implement a price plan and create subscriptions for a single IoT device or a tiered group of devices, with low or high mobile data usage.
Freeeway ensures that all plans comply with legal requirements to validate customer identity, and end-users are notified of upcoming subscription renewals in due time. Freeeway’s API-first capabilities allow companies to integrate IoT Monetization Hub features with their own applications. The solution also ensures compliance regulations, in particular when adding mobile data as part of offered plans.
“The IoT Monetization Hub empowers enterprises to go beyond selling hardware. Most IoT products are sold as a one-time fee for the IoT devices put in service, being monetized through one-time sales of these devices. However, consumers are increasingly demanding better after sales services and support, leading to multiple ways to monetize IoT products beyond hardware,“ said Steve Johansson, managing director, IoT Breakthrough. “Freeeway’s The IoT Monetization Hub delivers real business impact – not just connectivity. This makes IoT not just technically feasible but commercially sustainable without having to invest in more infrastructure to manage and control recurring revenue streams. Congratulations on winning the ‘Enterprise IoT Platform Innovation Award!”
