Learn SPEKTRA Edge
SPEKTRA Edge simplifies the application deployment on thousands of dispersed IoT devices across the globe.
We see the application deployment life cycle differently from the conventional means and re-designed it from the ground up. We combined the cloud environment management and the container framework in a seamless and accessible way. With a few simple operations, you can develop, deploy, and manage applications on your devices from anywhere.
New here? Start with Get started, which walks you through deploying an Nginx application to a Raspberry Pi entirely from the dashboard, then read how SPEKTRA Edge works to understand what you just did.
Applications

Solutions
Applications we build and run on SPEKTRA Edge. They are not part of the platform, and each is delivered to your devices the same way your own applications are.
- Service Experience Insights: how SEI agents and targets measure network quality, how to read the metrics they produce, and how to deliver the agent to your devices
cuttle CLI
- how to install and authenticate the CLI
- how to configure environments and contexts
- how to read, create, and watch resources from the command line
Glossary
SPEKTRA Edge terminology, including a map of what the dashboard calls things
versus the API — the dashboard’s Application is the API’s Pod, and its
Pod template is a Distribution.
