Beyond MQTT.
Built for Physical AI

EMQX Enterprise unifies real-time MQTT pub/sub with durable message queuing into a single, integrated platform. This eliminates the need to deploy and manage separate systems like Kafka or RabbitMQ for persistent messaging. The key benefits are a 50% reduction in infrastructure costs, a single operational interface for both real-time and asynchronous messaging, and a simplified architecture for building reliable IoT and AI applications.

EMQX Enterprise's native message queue layer works seamlessly with standard MQTT topics. When devices publish to topics like sensors/temperature, the system automatically routes messages either to real-time subscribers or to queue topics (prefixed with $q/, such as $q/sensors/temperature). Messages in queues are persistently stored until consumed, even when subscribers are offline. The platform supports flexible dispatch strategies including random, round-robin, and least-in-flight routing, along with last-value semantics to maintain only the latest state per key. This ensures zero data loss and maximum reliability for mission-critical IoT applications.

Yes, EMQX Enterprise offers native integration with leading AI models including OpenAI GPT, Anthropic Claude, and Google Gemini. The platform can stream IoT data directly to LLMs for real-time intelligent processing, enabling use cases such as anomaly detection, predictive maintenance, and automated decision-making. IoT data payloads can be processed on-the-fly, generating intelligent alerts and triggering automated actions without requiring external middleware. This makes EMQX Enterprise ideal for building AI-driven IoT applications at scale.

EMQX Enterprise features a horizontally scalable architecture proven to support over 200 million concurrent connections in a single cluster. The platform delivers sub-millisecond latency for real-time pub/sub messaging while maintaining high throughput and predictable performance. It includes shared subscriptions for load balancing across multiple subscribers. The distributed and replicated storage layer, powered by RocksDB and Raft consensus, ensures reliability even at massive scale, making it suitable for the most demanding enterprise IoT deployments.

EMQX Enterprise provides comprehensive enterprise-grade security features including TLS/mTLS encryption, X.509 certificate-based authentication, and integration with existing identity systems. The platform offers fine-grained access control through ACL/RBAC policies and maintains full audit logs for compliance tracking. EMQX Enterprise is SOC 2, ISO 27001, TISAX certified, and GDPR compliant, meeting the stringent security and regulatory requirements of industries such as automotive, healthcare, finance, and manufacturing.

EMQX Enterprise provides native data integration with over 50 cloud services and enterprise systems out of the box. Supported integrations include Apache Kafka, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Oracle, MySQL, AWS S3, Azure services, Google Cloud, SAP systems, and various time-series databases like InfluxDB and TimescaleDB. The platform includes a built-in SQL-based rule engine, schema registry, message codec, and visual Flow Designer for on-the-fly data transformation, allowing you to extract, filter, enrich, and route IoT data to downstream systems without custom development.

EMQX Enterprise uses a subscription-based licensing model priced by the number of concurrent sessions and transactions per second (TPS). This flexible model allows you to scale costs with your actual usage. Visit our pricing page for detailed plans and to estimate costs for your deployment.

EMQX Enterprise offers significant advantages over cloud-native IoT services: Lower TCO — cut costs by up to 80% compared to AWS IoT Core and up to 60% compared to Azure IoT Hub at scale; No vendor lock-in — deploy on any cloud, on-premises, or hybrid environment with full data sovereignty; Complete feature set — unified MQTT pub/sub, message queuing, AI integration, and 50+ data integrations in a single platform.
