Golioth

The Golioth Location Service enters General Availability (GA) today, with some updated and improved functionality, utilizing Golioth Pipelines via a new transformer and destination.

Here's how easy it is to add a Bluetooth device to the cloud. In just a few minutes, we built a BLE-GATT example for the Arduino Nicla Sense ME board and had it sending data to the cloud.

On June 12th, 2025 a subset of Golioth platform services, including stream and OTA, experienced an outage that impacted customer devices.

Golioth released Firmware SDK v0.18.0 which pulls in the recent changes from upstream Zephyr, nRF Connect SDK, and ESP-IDF repositories. We are also introducing new gateway support, adding new supported boards, and improving blockwise transfers.

This is a story of the complexities of cellular connectivity, the perils of closed ecosystems, and how to debug what you cannot see.

Today marks the first implementation of running the entire Golioth firmware stack on a modem processor. This dramatically reduces resource consumption on the external MCU processor, and makes it easier to add Golioth to any hardware or platform.

This post recaps the significant Golioth product releases in 2024 and how they will continue occurring in 2025.

Today we are launching Golioth Location in private access. This service offers network positioning functionality, allowing devices to leverage the same radios (e.g. cellular and Wi-Fi) used for communicating with Golioth to obtain location information. Doing so may extend battery life, reduce hardware costs, and enable more rapid acquisition of a device’s position.
