SensorUp Inc. is an Internet of Things company based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. SensorUp led the development[1] of the Open Geospatial Consortium SensorThings API standard specification, an open and unified geospatial framework to interconnect IoT sensing devices, data, and applications over the Web. In 2014, SensorUp received funding supports from Natural Resources Canada's GeoConnections[2] and TecTerra.[3] In 2016, as part of the OGC Internet of Things pilot project[4] SensorUp demonstrated its interoperable OGC SensorThings API platform solution at the Department of Homeland Security. Dr. Reginald Brothers, the Undersecretary of the Homeland Security Science and Technology, was "impressed with the ‘state of the practical’ where these various industry sensors can be integrated today using open standards that remove the stovepipe limitations of one-off technologies.[5] " In March 2016 SensorUp submitted a new open source software project proposal, titled Whiskers, to the Eclipse Foundation.[6] Whiskers will be an open source Javascript client library for the OGC SensorThings API and a light-weight OGC SensorThings API server for IoT gateways (e.g., Raspberry Pi).

In June 2016, SensorUp joined the ESRI Startup Program,[7] a three year program that gives us the tools to build mapping and location analytics capabilities into Esri products.

In September 2016, SensorUp partnered with Libelium[8] to cloud-enable Libelium sensor networks with international OGC and ISO standards for the IoT.

In November 2016, SensorUp joined the TELUS T-squared Accelerator[9].

In January 2017, with the support of Natural Resources Canada, SensorUp launched the Smart City Starter Kit[10]. The starter kit allows a city or community to set up a large-scale IoT-based smart city solution in one afternoon[11].

In July 2017, SensorUp launched the CloudUAV platform[12][13], empowering UAV researchers and users to manage their UAV workflow with an online portal and a smartphone application, based on the OGC SensorThings API.

In May 2018, SensorUp won the NATO Defence Innovation Challenge Award for secured federation of IoT devices[14].

In June 2018, SensorUp announced announced that it has raised $2 million in seed financing, led by VanedgeCapital, to create new data-driven IoT business solutions for Smart Cities, First Responders, and Oil and Gas Field Services[15].
