Blues to Showcase 28 Innovative IoT Products at CES 2026
Blues, a prominent provider of device-to-cloud solutions for smart connected products, is gearing up to make a significant return to the CES 2026 exhibition. Set to take place from January 6-9 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Blues is expected to attract considerable attention as it showcases 28 products developed in collaboration with customers and partners, demonstrating real-world applications in commercial settings.
Located at Booth #10571 in the North Hall, Blues will exhibit a variety of IoT devices that have been successfully deployed across different industries, including transportation, logistics, commercial real estate, industrial equipment, and energy management. Each product on display exemplifies how Blues' platform helps to reduce infrastructure complexity often associated with the Internet of Things (IoT), enabling more businesses to embrace market trends and develop smart products efficiently.
The lineup of products includes fascinating innovations such as connected truck batteries and even the world’s first smart port-a-potty. These examples not only underscore the diversity of the applications but also highlight the potential for significant efficiency gains. With Blues’ unified system, businesses can accelerate the path from product conception to deployment while effectively managing costs and scaling their capabilities in response to customer needs.
Rather than showcasing mere prototypes, Blues' display will feature tangible products that avoid common pitfalls in IoT deployments, such as infrastructure complexity and unpredictable delays. Ian Small, CEO of Blues, emphasized this focus by stating: "CES is filled with grand concepts; we present proof of what can be achieved when organizations streamline their processes and eliminate unnecessary complexities. Our customers are forging ahead with secure, scalable smart products that truly meet the demands of today’s market."
In the run-up to CES 2026, Blues has experienced impressive growth and innovation. In 2025, the company raised $33 million in funding, including a landmark $25 million investment led by Sequoia Capital. They also expanded their global IoT connectivity with the introduction of Starnote for Iridium, which grants subscription-free satellite support for IoT applications in the most remote areas worldwide. Ian Small, joining Blues as CEO in May 2025, along with founder Ray Ozzie transitioning to the role of Executive Chairman, marks a fresh chapter for the company.
In addition to the engaging product showcase, attendees will have the chance to visit the Blues Café at the booth, where complimentary coffee and espresso drinks will be served. This space will serve as a hub for meaningful discussions on the creation of smart connected products and services, live demonstrations of products, and opportunities to engage directly with the Blues team.
For those attending CES, meetings can be arranged with the Blues representatives for a deeper understanding of their solutions and what sets them apart in the IoT landscape.
