BaseN is a global full stackInternet of Things operator, headquartered in Helsinki, Finland. BaseN was established in 2001 to provide extremely scalable and fault-tolerant network and service management systems for telecom operators and large multinational enterprises. BaseN develops and markets a software as a service suite, BaseN Platform, for public and private infrastructures. BaseN Platform is built on a redundant computing grid due to which BaseN is linearly scalable, flexible and resilient. The components in the gridwork together but can function separately from each other and automatically take each other's roles. The grid architecture also allows for quick deployment, as individual components are functional immediately after installation. Spimes record and manage the full lifecycle of their physical representations as physical hardware and support software come and go. As such an object can be considered a Spime when all of its essential programming is managed in the cloud. The Spime concept was originally crafted by the author Bruce Sterling as a neologism for a futuristic Internet of Things object. BaseN was founded in 2001 by Pasi Hurri. BaseN holds the following US patents for its technology:
