Making IoT Data Efficient
ALEC was born from a simple observation: most IoT data is predictable, yet we transmit it as if every reading is a surprise. We built a smarter way.
The Problem We Solve
IoT deployments are exploding. Millions of sensors generating billions of data points daily. But the infrastructure hasn't kept up—bandwidth is expensive, batteries are limited, and networks are congested.
Traditional compression algorithms weren't designed for sensor data. They don't understand that a temperature reading of 23.5°C followed by 23.6°C is completely normal, while a jump to 45°C is an emergency.
ALEC does. It learns your data patterns, compresses the routine, and prioritizes the exceptional. The result: 90% less data, 10x longer battery life, and critical alerts that never get delayed.
What We Believe
Our principles guide every decision, from API design to licensing.
Efficiency First
Every byte matters in IoT. We obsess over compression ratios and encoding efficiency.
Open Source
Core technology is open source. We believe transparency builds trust and better software.
Developer Experience
Clean APIs, comprehensive docs, and examples that actually work. No magic, no surprises.
Our Journey
Research begins on adaptive IoT compression
First prototype achieves 85% compression
Open source release under AGPL-3.0
Commercial licensing available
Open Source at Heart
ALEC is released under AGPL-3.0. You can use it freely in open source projects, inspect the code, contribute improvements, and build on our work.
For commercial use in proprietary software, we offer affordable licenses that support continued development while giving you the flexibility you need.
