For the last couple of weeks, our developers have continued working in isolation. Although stranded at home, they are keen to show you that they are putting in their best effort to build the technology they are proud to put their names on.

Developers are working on B2C and B2B fronts simultaneously. They have been pushing to roll out the stable version of the NOIA App so that we can begin the public testing. While they are putting finishing touches on that, the NOIA Platform has been acquiring shape.

Microsoft for Startups Program

After a year in Microsoft for Startups program, Microsoft has decided to extend our participation and granted us an additional $100k in credit to use with Azure services. The program is designed to help startups grow by utilizing Microsoft’s resources. Our developers have been actively using Azure for our development and testing purposes, and are excited to strengthen this partnership in the year ahead.

The SDN

Due to the latest SDN improvements, it will finally be possible to connect to multiple IP addresses at the same time. At first, the new functionality will only be accessible via Linux scripts, but later it will also be implemented into the App. As planned, connecting to multiple servers at the same time will not affect the performance of the user’s connection to our SDN.

The App

With the latest developments complete the NOIA App is now v.0.0.31. The latest updates include the improved UI for the test results, added functionality to cancel ongoing tests, social login optimizations, the App quit bug fix, other stability and usability improvements and bug fixes. This update represents another firm step towards the fully functional NOIA App.

The NOIA Platform

The NOIA Platform is a Network-as-a-Service solution, open to all, but tailored for clients operating large networks. It will allow establishing and maintaining an entire network of NOIA-connected devices and instances, facilitating access to our SDN tech stack for large enterprises.

The Platform solves real-life problems for our potential customers, and many of them have already expressed interest in it. Because we have approached them so early in the product development cycle, we have the ability to tailor it based on their needs and requirements, which benefits everyone involved.

Until now, the NOIA Platform has been more or less an abstract concept for our community. However, it’s an integral part of our product launch strategy, which will add substantial immediate demand to the network. The Platform is still work-in-progress, but we are keen to start sharing the progress of its development. Now that it’s acquiring shape, we will soon be able to share some screenshots with the community.

Lastly, we invite you to check out what else our developers have produced since the last update.
