About dotStar

dotStar Technologies is a growing European technology company based in the Netherlands, specializing in the design and development of connected hardware and software solutions.

We were founded on the belief that modern access control, payment systems, and IoT platforms should be open, secure, and beautifully engineered. Our team combines deep expertise in embedded systems, NFC technology, and cloud infrastructure to deliver vertically integrated products that work from the edge to the backend.

From custom Linux images running on ARM processors to MQTT-based backends that orchestrate thousands of connected devices, we build the full stack — and we build it right.
