Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers to the questions operations teams ask about industrial IoT, SCADA, and Mango by Radix IoT — from protocols and pricing to monitoring across data centers, energy, telecom, healthcare, and commercial buildings.
What is Mango by Radix IoT?
Mango by Radix IoT is a vendor-agnostic industrial IoT and SCADA platform that connects operational data from any device, manufacturer, or protocol into a single real-time view.
Read answerWhat is an IoT SCADA Platform and How is it Different from Traditional SCADA?
An IoT SCADA platform combines the real-time data acquisition, alarming, and control capabilities of traditional SCADA with the protocol flexibility of modern industrial IoT.
Read answerWhat are IoT Automation Tools for Industrial Operations?
IoT automation tools connect physical devices to a central monitoring and control environment, then use that data to trigger automated responses, alerts, and workflows.
Read answerHow Do Data Centers Monitor Power, Cooling, and Infrastructure Across Multiple Sites?
Data centers monitor power, cooling, and infrastructure across multiple sites with an industrial IoT platform that connects to equipment using native protocols.
Read answerHow Do Renewable Energy Operators Monitor Distributed Assets in Real Time?
Renewable energy operators monitor distributed assets in real time with an industrial IoT platform that connects inverters, meters, weather stations, and battery storage.
Read answerHow Do Systems Integrators Add IoT Monitoring to Existing Client Infrastructure Without Replacing Equipment?
Systems integrators add IoT monitoring to existing client infrastructure by deploying a vendor-agnostic platform that speaks installed devices' native protocols.
Read answerHow Do Telecom Companies Monitor Remote Infrastructure at Scale?
Telecom companies monitor remote infrastructure at scale with an industrial IoT platform that connects rectifiers, batteries, generators, and network hardware.
Read answerHow Do Healthcare Facilities Monitor Building Systems and Compliance in Real Time?
Healthcare facilities monitor building systems and compliance in real time with an industrial IoT platform connecting HVAC, medical gas, electrical, and refrigeration.
Read answerWhat Does Vendor-Agnostic Mean in Industrial IoT and Why Does It Matter?
Vendor-agnostic in industrial IoT means a platform connects to devices from any manufacturer using whatever communication protocols those devices support.
Read answerWhat Industrial Protocols Does an IoT Platform Need to Support?
An industrial IoT platform needs to support the protocols already deployed in its environment — Modbus RTU and TCP, BACnet MS/TP and IP, DNP3, SNMP, OPC UA, and MQTT.
Read answerWhat is the Difference Between a BMS and an IoT Platform for Commercial Buildings?
A BMS is a facility-specific control platform for a single building; an industrial IoT platform is a vendor-agnostic connectivity layer that spans buildings and sites.
Read answerHow is Mango by Radix IoT Priced, and How Does Subscription-Based Pricing Work for Large Multi-Site Deployments?
Mango by Radix IoT is priced on a per-unit subscription basis — no upfront implementation fee, no hardware lock-in, with implementation and support included.
Read answerWhat Should Operations Leaders Look for When Evaluating an Industrial IoT Platform?
Operations leaders evaluating an industrial IoT platform should assess protocol coverage, multi-site scalability, alarm configurability, track record, and TCO.
