Radix IoT is an American technology company that specializes in IoT data collection, remote monitoring, and real-time analysis, providing a software package/platform called Mango that unifies data from disparate building systems and equipment across multiple locations.

This platform enables businesses to connect and monitor equipment from many different manufacturers (including legacy systems) to enable data analytics that can be provided within Mango or from external software applications via a RestAPI. Founded in 2020 and headquartered in Dallas, Texas, the company is a wholly owned subsidiary of Compass Datacenters with additional offices in Mountain View, California, and Nashville, Tennessee.

Radix IoT was founded under the name of BitBox USA in 2015. BitBox USA operated as an IoT service organization specializing in the collection, organization, and delivery of distributed IoT data for energy efficiency and operational analytics. Based in Nashville, TN, the company utilized several 3rd party software applications to connect building infrastructure into a single monitoring platform. BitBox USA's primary focus was on remote distributed facility management and enabling remote triage operations for enterprise customers.

BitBox USA was acquired by Compass Datacenters in February 2018^[1]

In 2020, Bitbox USA acquired the assets of Infinite Automation Systems (IAS), including their Mango software which offered an open-source IoT package to aid in the integration of building automation technology and a replacement for SCADA solutions. IAS provided Mango to a wide range of markets including commercial building management, manufacturing, food and agriculture, residential real estate, energy, and municipal applications. Mango allowed custom application construction without code allowing customers a web-based, open-source solution that could also operate as a replacement for traditional SCADA and HMI (Human-Machine Interface) technology.^[2]

On September 15, 2020, BitBox USA changed its name to Radix IoT, LLC.^[3] The name is taken from the Latin word "radix" which translates to "root" in English and is represented by the company logo.

Radix IoT provides tools for creating consolidated IoT solutions. This is accomplished from data derived from equipment that is already deployed. Radix IoT acquires data from existing infrastructure and then allows the user to build dashboards and logic around this information to perform business focused tasks. A notable difference from other BMS style systems is that Radix IoT focuses on multi-site operations, allowing for numerous locations to become part of a single portfolio for monitoring regardless of manufacturer.

A primary tenet of the platform is that it includes all the building blocks required to implement a full end-to-end solution. This includes the ability to integrate data from any standard commercial protocols, rationalize the data into structures and store them, move relevant data to storage efficiently (which is important on bandwidth restricted networks), and offer visualization of the data in a configurable manner.

Mango is a edge / cloud computing application that can be installed on any computing device from a Raspberry Pi up to a public/private cloud environment. Though it can run on Windows, Linux or Mac – production environments run on Linux. Given the architecture, it is typical that Mango runs in the cloud for data aggregation, and relies on 'edge' instances to feed telemetry data to the cloud. This is often accomplished through edge-gateway devices (running Mango) provided by Radix IoT, or more commonly other edge-gateway manufacturers.^[4]

Radix IoT's solutions are deployed across various markets with a primary focus on: data centers, telecommunications, energy, and commerical building management.

The platform enables data centers to acquire data from all environmental (typically BMS and EPMS) systems across multiple geographic locations or footprints, Following the Compass Datacenter acquisition of Radix IoT, Mango focused on deployments for hyperscale, co-location, and edge facilities. The solution is typically deployed in tandem with existing DCIM solutions, but also used to replace DCIMs.^[5]

Radix IoT monitors equipment used in telecommunications infrastructure including HVAC, electrical systems, IoT devices, and compliance related equipment to allow for a unified management platform and service system for carriers, and infrastructure operators (Such as ODAS, IDAS, and towers).^[6] The Radix IoT solution facilitates data collection at remote sites, using various mediums of low bandwidth communication to relay telemetry back to the cloud for remote monitoring of sites.

The Radix IoT platform enables deployment and management of microgrids and other distributed energy resources common in alternative energy installations. This includes both generation and storage, with a specialty in battery storage technologies for safety, compliance, and insurance purposes. For alternative energy Mango commonly provides monitoring and management software and digital O&M services to mid-scale utility solar PV installations.^[7]

The platform consolidates multi-building systems for real-time operational data typically used for preventative maintenance and optimizing energy consumption. Common uses for the Radix IoT platform in this application are for large commercial office campuses. Mango in these applications is typically deployed on edge devices in each building to collect data from existing systems for energy savings efforts, compliance, and ESG reporting.^[8]

Additionally, the Mango Platform is used in several other niche applications such as scientific research.

The Radix IoT platform leverages a stack of programming languages and frameworks. The back-end infrastructure primarily utilizes Java and Scala for server-side operations.^[9] The front-end implementation employs technologies including JavaScript and AngularJS, complemented by React/Redux and TypeScript for responsive user interfaces.^[9] From a user perspective the solution operates in a code free environment, allowing the user to make changes to their deployment and system without the knowledge of these programming languages, however Mango does support direct scripting when needed for custom applications using Python, and Go.

Mango supports standard protocols used in building systems allowing most technology deployed in buildings to be incorporated into a data portfolio. This protocol support provides the core data from other systems required for the monitoring and management Mango provides. These include:^[10]

• BACnet (IP & MS/TP): A specialized network protocol designed for building automation systems that enables communication between multiple devices
• Modbus (IP & RTU): An open protocol widely used in industrial automation
• LonWorks: A proprietary protocol specifically designed for building automation and control systems, offering distributed control architecture^[11]
• SNMP (v1, v2, & v3): For network management and monitoring
• MQTT: For lightweight machine-to-machine communication
• RestAPI: Enabling consistent communication with other software and cloud systems

Radix IoT owns the open source and commercial versions of BacNet4J as well as ModBus4J which are fundamental communications packages for Java to communicate with commercial building equipment (BACnet and Modbus respectively). These packages are licensed and used across the Building Management industry.
