MANCHESTER, Mass., Oct. 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Blues, a leader in IIoT technology enabling global connectivity solutions, today announced its partnership with industrial-focused connectivity and hardware manufacturer, RAKwireless. Blues’ Notecard is now available across RAKwireless’ extensive portfolio of WisBlock modules, sensors and enclosures, simplifying global cellular connectivity for IIoT solutions.
