FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Kuala Lumpur, 23 January 2026
Favoriot today announced the launch of its new Lite Plan, a lower-entry subscription designed to help students, educators, beginners, startup founders, and developers begin their IoT journey using a real, production-grade platform.

The Lite Plan addresses a growing need for a simple, affordable way to connect devices, view data, and understand IoT workflows without the complexity often found in larger, enterprise-focused plans. Users on the Lite Plan gain access to the same core Favoriot platform used by commercial and government deployments, scaled to suit learning, experimentation, and early validation.

“The Lite Plan is about removing friction at the starting line,” said Dr. Mazlan Abbas, Co-Founder and CEO of Favoriot. “Many users want to learn or test ideas with real devices and real data, but do not need advanced features yet. This plan gives them a proper foundation without overcommitment.”

Designed for Specific User Segments

The Lite Plan is best suited for:

• Students and educators working on coursework, labs, or final-year projects who need hands-on experience with an industry platform
• IoT beginners using devices such as ESP32 or Arduino and learning basic device-to-cloud data flows
• Startup teams and founders building proofs of concept or early prototypes
• Developers and technologists evaluating IoT platforms before selecting a long-term solution

Clear Progression Across Plans

Favoriot positions the Lite Plan as a starting point within its broader subscription structure:

• Lite Plan: Entry-level access for learning, testing, and early exploration
• Beginner Plan: Expanded usage for wider testing and multiple devices
• Developer Plan: Application development, integrations, and pilot deployments
• Professional and Enterprise Plans: Full-scale production, security controls, and operational workflows

Users can upgrade plans as their projects grow, with continuity across devices and data.

The Favoriot Lite Plan is available immediately. Full pricing and plan details can be found at:

Selangor, Malaysia – February 3, 2025 — Favoriot, a leading IoT platform provider, is proud to announce its latest Favoriot Partner Network (FPN) initiative to transform the landscape of IoT education through strategic collaborations with educational institutions. This collaboration bridges the gap between academic knowledge and industry demands by equipping students with practical IoT skills and industry-recognised certifications.

Empowering Students Through Two Key Approaches:

1. Embedding Favoriot IoT Platform into IoT Courses and Labs
   Educational institutions can directly integrate Favoriot’s IoT content into their courses, syllabi, and laboratory environments. This approach enables students to gain hands-on experience with real-world IoT platforms, fostering practical skills in device management, data analysis, and system integration. Upon completing these IoT courses, students will be awarded the Favoriot Certificate, co-endorsed by both Favoriot and the respective institution, enhancing their employability in the IoT industry.
2. Short-Term IoT Training Conducted by Certified Lecturers
   In addition to curriculum integration, Favoriot offers specialised 2-3 day IoT training programmes conducted by university lecturers. To ensure high-quality training, these lecturers must pass the Favoriot Certificate Examination to become certified trainers. This certification process guarantees that students receive instruction from knowledgeable educators who are well-versed in the latest IoT technologies. Students who complete these intensive training sessions will also receive the Favoriot Certificate, recognised by industry players.

Quality Assurance Through Certified Educators
Favoriot maintains stringent quality control measures by requiring that only lecturers who have successfully obtained the Favoriot Professional Certification are eligible to teach IoT courses or conduct training sessions. This ensures consistent, high-quality instruction across all partner institutions.

A Commitment to Industry-Ready Talent Development
“Our collaboration with educational institutions is part of Favoriot’s commitment to nurturing the next generation of IoT professionals,” said Dr. Mazlan Abbas, CEO of Favoriot. “By embedding our platform into academic environments and empowering educators through certification, we are creating a robust pipeline of talent equipped to meet the evolving demands of the IoT industry.”
