ALL YOUR DATA. ONE SHARED LANGUAGE. REAL-TIME.

CITIES & MUNICIPALITIES - You publish open data, manage urban sensors, and run dozens of smart city projects. But each project reinvents data integration from scratch. FIWAREBox gives you a shared context layer so every new service - parking, energy, air quality, waste - connects through one standard API from day one.

UTILITIES & INFRASTRUCTURE OPERATORS - Your meters, SCADA systems, and field sensors generate millions of data points daily. Most of it sits in proprietary silos. FIWAREBox ingests data from any source - OPC-UA, MQTT, CSV, REST APIs - and transforms it into a unified, queryable real-time context. One data model for energy, water, heating, and transport.

COMPANIES & INDUSTRIAL OPERATORS - Factory data lives in MES, ERP, sensor gateways, and Excel sheets that never talk to each other. FIWAREBox acts as the context backbone: machine telemetry, production environment data, utility meters, and quality data - all in one place, all in the same format, all accessible through one API.

HOSPITALS & PROPERTY OPERATORS - Managing buildings means managing energy, HVAC, occupancy, assets, and compliance data from dozens of systems. FIWAREBox gives you a single context view of every building, every floor, every asset - without replacing your existing systems. 

RESEARCH & LIVING LABS - Pilots fail when data integration eats all the budget. FIWAREBox gives researchers a production-grade data platform for experiments, IoT roll-outs, and data space pilots - with 130+ open-source packages pre-installed and ready to use. 

EVERY PROJECT STARTS FROM ZERO

Each new application needs custom data mapping, custom connectors, and weeks of integration work. You pay this cost every time.

DATA SILOS MULTIPLY

Traffic, energy, water, environment, GIS - each department has its own format, its own database, its own API. Cross-department insights require expensive one-off projects. 

VENDOR LOCK-IN CREEPS IN

When your smart city platform or industrial IoT vendor owns the data model, switching costs grow with every integration. 

SCALING BREAKS EVERYTHING  

What works for 10 sensors collapses at 10,000. Proprietary architectures were not designed for multi-domain, multi-organization data sharing. 

COMPLIANCE IS MANUAL

GDPR, Data Act, data space regulations - without a standard framework, compliance is bolted on after the fact, project by project.

INTEGRATE ONCE, REUSE EVERYWHERE

The Scorpio Context Broker provides a single NGSI-LD API. Connect a data source once - every application, dashboard, and analytics tool can consume it immediately. 

ALL DATA IN ONE CONTEXT MODEL

Smart Data Models define a shared vocabulary. Energy, mobility, water, buildings - they all follow the same structure. Cross-domain queries work out of the box.

OPEN STANDARDS, ZERO LOCK-IN

NGSI-LD is an ETSI standard. Your data stays portable. Switch vendors, add new ones, or build in-house - the API stays the same. 

built to scale

From one building to an entire city, from one production line to a national utility network. The architecture is designed for millions of entities and real-time subscriptions. 

COMPLIANCE BY DESIGN

EU Data Spaces, GDPR, and data governance rules are embedded in the platform through the LIBRA gateway and role-based access control - not retrofitted. 

FIWAREBox offers three managed services - each one builds on the previous. Start small with a data catalog, add a real-time context broker, or go all the way to a multi-organization data space.

DATA CATALOG (DCaaS)

BEST FOR: Organizations that need to organize, describe, and share their datasets before going real-time.

WHAT YOU GET: A hosted DCAT-AP metadata catalog with direct data access, DataGrid browsing, role-based access, and APIs. Your datasets become findable, browsable, and reusable - without building anything from scratch.

THINK OF IT AS: The index card system for all your data, but one that actually lets people read the books.

CONTEXT DATAHUB (Our flagship)

BEST FOR: Organizations ready for real-time data interoperability across departments, systems, and domains.

WHAT YOU GET: Everything in DCaaS, plus the Scorpio NGSI-LD Context Broker, CASSIOPEIA data transformation engine (no-code mapping to Smart Data Models), LIBRA API gateway with policy enforcement, time-series storage, monitoring, and developer tools. This is the full context data backbone.

THINK OF IT AS: Your organization’s universal translator for all operational data - sensors, meters, ERPs, files - speaking one language, in real time.

DATA SPACE (DSaaS)

BEST FOR: Multi-organization ecosystems that need sovereign, governed data sharing (cities + utilities, supply chains, research consortia).

WHAT YOU GET: Everything in Context DataHub, plus Eclipse EDC connector (DSP/IDSA protocol), iSHARE trust framework, multi-party governance, contract negotiation, and EU Data Spaces readiness (DOME, Catena-X, SIMPL compatible).

THINK OF IT AS: A secure, governed marketplace where organizations share exactly the data they choose - on their terms, under EU rules.

Step 1: Research & Architecture (2–4 weeks).

Evaluate FIWARE components, choose a context broker, decide on database backends, plan the network architecture.

 Step 2: Server Setup & Installation (1–2 weeks)

Provision cloud or on-prem infrastructure, install and configure all FIWARE components, handle dependencies and version compatibility.

Step 3: Data Model Design (2–6 weeks)

Map your domain data to Smart Data Models, build JSON-LD contexts, handle edge cases and custom attributes.

Step 4: Connector Development (4–8 weeks)

Write custom connectors for each data source - MQTT brokers, OPC-UA endpoints, CSV imports, ERP APIs. Test and debug each one. 

Step 5: Security & Access Control (2–4 weeks)

Set up OAuth2/OIDC, configure API gateway, define roles and policies, test authorization flows.

Step 6: Dashboards & Monitoring (2–4 weeks)

Build Grafana dashboards, configure alerting, set up log aggregation.

Testing & Deployment (2–4 weeks)

End-to-end testing, performance tuning, documentation, team training.

Total: 15–32 weeks (4–8 months) of development before your first real data flows.​

Step 1: Subscribe & Deploy (same day)

Choose your plan. Your FIWAREBox instance is provisioned with all components pre-configured: Scorpio Context Broker, CASSIOPEIA, LIBRA, dashboards, monitoring, and 130+ packages.

Step 2: Connect Your First Data Source (day 1–3)

Use built-in connectors (MQTT, OPC-UA, CSV, REST) or CASSIOPEIA’s no-code mapping to transform your data into Smart Data Models.

Step 3: Build & Scale (ongoing)

Add more data sources, create custom dashboards, invite your team. Our consulting hours are included to help you optimize and grow.

Total: First data flowing in hours. Production-ready in days.​
