About CONNECT INITIATION PROTOCOL
CONNECT INITIATION PROTOCOL (CiP) is a highly fault-tolerant method for establishing communication between two devices.
It does not require a fixed IP address or a server to establish communication, and it does not increase server load by design. As a result, CiP remains resilient to server failures and highly scalable.
Until now, communication between two devices required a server (cloud services, on-premise servers, etc.) to establish a connection.
As a result, server failures or increased server load could lead to longer connection times—or, in some cases, complete connection failure.
CiP overcomes these challenges.
Breaking through the limitations of the cloud
Patented technology “CiP” eliminates delays and high server costs from IoT communications.
Patent No. 7584704 has been granted. CiP minimizes server dependency and enables direct communication between devices—secure, uninterrupted, and truly real-time for your products.
Are your IoT products too dependent on the cloud?
Rising server costs due to an increasing number of users are putting pressure on profitability.
Latency caused by overseas servers is damaging the user experience
Server outages can render products unusable.
You have strict security requirements and do not want data stored on servers.
The server is used only to exchange connection information
Three technological pillars
-
1.**Communication establishment architecture that minimizes server dependency**
CiP uses a P2P (peer-to-peer) approach. A push server is used only during the initial connection and when communication parameters change. Once communication is established, the host and client devices exchange data directly.
This decentralized design does not continuously store device information on the server, fundamentally eliminating server load and communication bottlenecks.
It ensures low latency and high scalability even when a large number of devices operate simultaneously.
-
2.**Self-healing, bidirectional, fast reconnection mechanism**
To ensure stability in unreliable network environments, CiP includes a unique algorithm that instantly detects communication interruptions and quickly attempts reconnection from both the host and client sides.
Even when IP addresses or ports change, routes can be rebuilt immediately—minimizing service disruption for mobile and outdoor devices.
Established communication can remain active even during server downtime, providing exceptional availability and supporting business continuity.
-
3.**Secure communication through lightweight and highly reliable device authentication**
A unique authentication process combining a random key and a device-specific ID achieves both high security and lightweight operation.
Because authentication information is not concentrated on the server, confidential information and privacy remain protected even in the event of a server attack.
Designed for resource-limited IoT and embedded devices, CiP helps prevent unauthorized access and ensures communication integrity.

Specific Use Cases
**Surveillance cameras and pet cameras**
Because communication does not go through overseas servers, you can view video instantly on your smartphone.
Reduced server costs also make it possible to offer free monthly plans.
**Smart locks and building materials**
Since communication does not go through overseas servers, users can unlock doors instantly via smartphone. Cloud independence improves reliability even during server outages.
**Financial terminals (ATMs) and inter-site communications**
Achieve strong security and high availability over the public internet without deploying dedicated lines.
