Turn Your Products Into Smart Devices with Network Co-Processor

What is Blynk.NCP?

NCP stands for Network Co-Processor. It’s a standalone microcontroller with integrated connectivity, which can be pre-programmed with Blynk software.

Blynk.NCP is a software solution that handles all the networking tasks for your IoT devices whether you use WiFi, Ethernet, LoRaWAN, or Cellular connectivity (or any combination of them).

By integrating Blynk.NCP you free up your main controller to focus solely on its primary product functions such as sensor readings, data processing, and decision-making.

When to use Blynk.NCP?

For these key IoT scenarios, Blynk.NCP is the standout solution:

New Smart Product

Developing a new IoT product where main controller can’t or shouldn’t run the networking stack

IoT Retrofitting

Retrofitting your existing products with the help of Blynk

Connectivity Challenges

Struggling with AT command-based modules

Blynk.NCP is engineered to be a game-changer covering you on networking stack, compatibility, and AT command integrations.

What NCP can do for your business

Once integrated, Blynk.NCP not only immediately brings WiFi provisioning, OTA firmware, factory testing to your devices.
