AI-ready access to building data 

Haltian IoT is taking its first step toward making building and sensor data easier to use in AI-driven workflows. With new integration capabilities, AI tools and automation platforms can begin to access real-time data from Haltian IoT more easily. This opens the door to future use cases such as automated facility reports, AI-assisted space management, and faster insight generation from occupancy, environmental and asset data.

For customers, the value is simple: building data becomes easier to use, easier to connect and easier to turn into action.

Technical note: this release includes the first integration based on Model Context Protocol, or MCP.

Single Sign-On for enterprise access management

Single Sign-On is now available for Haltian IoT customers. Organizations can connect Haltian IoT to their existing identity provider, such as Microsoft Entra ID or SAML. This makes user access easier to manage, especially in large enterprises with multiple teams, sites and sub-organizations.

Benefits include:

• Centralized user management
• Fewer separate accounts
• Easier onboarding and offboarding
• Stronger access control
• A smoother experience for enterprise IT teams

This supports the needs of customers where IT, real estate, workplace and facility teams all need secure access to shared workplace data.

Real-time data for customer systems 

Haltian IoT now offers improved support for real-time data streaming. This makes it easier for customers to connect sensor data to their own analytics, data platforms, reporting tools and operational systems. For organizations with their own data infrastructure, this helps bring workplace and building data into the wider enterprise data ecosystem. 

This can support use cases such as:
 

• Real-time dashboards 

• Data lake integrations 

• Advanced analytics 

• Workplace reporting 

• Facility automation 

• AI and machine learning workflows 

Technical note: Haltian IoT delivers sensor data over MQTT by default. This release adds Kafka as an optional streaming integration for organizations with their own data infrastructure. 

Active device reporting  

A new automated reporting capability gives customers, operators and partners a clear view of active device counts across organizations and sub-organizations — the basis for IoT service billing. This reduces manual reporting work and provides clearer, more transparent data for service management and billing. 

Benefits include: 

• Less manual reporting 

• Clearer usage visibility 

• Better support for customer and partner operations 

• More transparent service billing 

• Audit-ready reporting 

This is especially valuable in larger deployments where device counts, sub-organizations and service structures need to be managed consistently. 

New compact gateway for global deployments 

The new XS Gateway is a compact gateway designed for international rollouts. It connects to the Haltian IoT cloud over cellular or Ethernet and supports an exceptionally wide range of LTE frequency bands, covering the band configurations used by mobile operators across Europe, North America, Asia-Pacific and beyond. 

For customers and partners deploying across multiple countries or regions, this means fewer connectivity surprises and less time spent validating local network compatibility. 

For customers and partners, this means: 

• More flexible deployment options 

• Better support for international rollouts 

• A compact option for smaller installations 

• Easier connectivity planning across different markets 

• A stronger foundation for scalable multi-site deployments 

The XS Gateway complements the existing Global gateway.  

ENTRYWAY moves to full product status 

Haltian ENTRYWAY is moving from project-based delivery to full product status. 

This means it becomes easier to order, deploy and scale as part of Haltian IoT occupancy solutions. For customers and partners, this improves predictability and supports repeatable deployments through standard channels. 

Studio Web updates for easier device management 

The web-based Studio management application now includes new features that make everyday device management easier. 

New capabilities include: 

• Battery alert view for devices with low or critical battery status 

• Device group creation and management 

• Battery status visible directly in the device list 

These updates help operational teams manage device fleets more efficiently and react before small maintenance needs become larger issues. 

This supports one of Haltian IoT’s core strengths: making large IoT environments easier to deploy, monitor and maintain. 

New tools for partners and system operators 

The Partner Toolkit now includes new capabilities for partners and system operators managing Haltian IoT deployments. 

The updates support:
 

• Organization-level API management 

• Device management operations 

• More efficient support for multi-customer environments 

• Better tools for scalable partner-led deployments 

For partners, this makes Haltian IoT easier to include as part of a broader workplace, facility or software offering. Haltian IoT is especially relevant for partners whose own workplace software gains value from reliable IoT data. 

Area	What’s new	Customer value
AI readiness	MCP expands to a broader beta group	More organizations can start connecting AI tools and agents directly to their building data
Data integrations	Kafka streaming reaches full production availability	Real-time streaming is now available to all customers with their own data infrastructure — not only early adopters
Global deployments	New AWS region live in the United States	Lower latency and a regional cloud presence for customers and partners operating in North America
Workplace Intelligence	Occupancy intelligence extended to large spaces & Cisco Spaces	Real-time occupancy detection now covers auditoriums and lecture halls, and becomes available in Cisco Spaces-managed environments
Deployment efficiency	Remote device provisioning	Devices can be configured for deployment remotely, cutting on-site setup time for large rollouts

Broader access to AI-ready data

Following the introduction of MCP in Q3 2026, Haltian IoT opens access to a broader group of customers in Q4 2026. More organizations can connect AI tools and agents directly to real-time building data, without custom integration work — building toward general availability.

Kafka streaming reaches full production

Kafka streaming, introduced as an optional integration in Q3 2026, reaches full production availability in Q4 2026. Any Haltian IoT customer with their own data infrastructure can now use it for high-throughput, event-driven data pipelines.

Technical note: MQTT remains the default delivery protocol. Kafka is a supplementary, opt-in streaming interface.

A new cloud region for North America

Haltian IoT expands its cloud infrastructure with a new AWS region in the United States. For customers and partners operating in North America, this means lower latency and a cloud presence closer to where their buildings and teams are.

Occupancy Intelligence for large spaces and Cisco Spaces environments

The Occupancy Detection Engine (ODE) is extended in two directions. Real-time occupancy analytics become available for large, multi-purpose spaces such as lecture halls and auditoriums — not only meeting rooms and open floor areas. ODE also becomes available for Cisco Spaces-managed environments, so customers and partners running Cisco Spaces can access the same occupancy intelligence used elsewhere on the platform.

• Lecture halls and auditoriums
• Large event or multi-purpose spaces

• Cisco Spaces-managed buildings

Remote device provisioning

A new provisioning capability allows devices to be configured for deployment remotely, reducing the on-site setup work required for large rollouts — faster and simpler deployment across multiple sites.
