Introduction
Akenza.io is a professional application enablement platform focused on IoT services. The platform is especially useful for users who prefer ease of use and simplicity of control. It focuses on connecting, controling, and managing IoT devices. Currently, only LoRaWAN devices are currently supported by ACRIOS on the platform, but we plan to further expand the support.

The Main Principles
The functionality of akenza can be seen in the following diagram. Note, that only the ease of use means, that only the part in the box named "akenza" is a process you need to be concerned with, once the device integration is complete.
Please note, that currently only ACR-CV101L-M-D and ACR-CV101L-M-EAC - LoRaWAN devices - are supported out of the portfolio of ACRIOS Systems.
