- Discover other applications that are using App Tethering
- Trigger events and methods on other devices
- Remote control apps
- Share data between connected apps
Proximity Awareness with Beacons
Now is the time to start building innovative IoT solutions with exciting new technologies like proximity awareness powered by Beacons!
RAD Studio provides developers the necessary tools to rapidly design, build, and deploy connected apps that deliver innovative IoT solutions. Component level support for beacons brings your app into the IoT fold with support of proximity awareness, contextual identification, and much more! Easily extend your existing VCL Windows apps to take advantage of beacon technology!
Bluetooth & WiFi Built-in Supports Thousands of Devices
RAD Studio integrates Bluetooth and WiFi support at the component level in the RTL. This support enables developers to take full advantage of IoT gadgets and devices that communicate over Bluetooth or WiFi.
RAD Studio integrated wireless support works with thousands of "off the shelf" consumer and industry specific devices. RAD Studio's approach makes it easy to integrate virtually any device into the app user experience, and even support multiple device vendors with the same code.
Connect With Popular BaaS Providers and Cloud Services Using Native HTTP Libraries
Bring your VCL Windows app to the cloud with RAD Studio! Integrate cloud based services from Backend as a Service (BaaS) providers, Kinvey, Parse, and App42 with components for popular BaaS services like notifications, user management, and storage. You get easy access to these common services in the cloud without having to build them yourself or maintain them. Add user authentication to your apps. Use push notifications to engage your users. Access data and object storage in the cloud. The REST Client library, available on all platforms, simplifies the invocation of REST web services by any third party provider, such as, Facebook, eBay, Amazon, Google, etc.
