Variscite and Memfault Partner for Enhanced IoT/Embedded Device Observability and OTA Updates
Share
Memfault offers a platform for monitoring, debugging, and securely updating embedded/IoT devices deployed in the field. The system collects critical data including crashes, errors, health metrics, and usage analytics, allowing developers to detect and resolve issues quickly, even in remote environments. To complete the process, the system also supports secure over-the-air (OTA) updates, enabling rapid deployment of fixes and improvements. This significantly shortens detection and resolution times from weeks or months to just days.
The platform is fully compatible with Variscite SoMs running Linux, Android, or real-time operating systems and suitable for all Variscite modules, including SoMs based on the NXP i.MX 9, i.MX 8, i.MX 7, and i.MX 6 series, as well as the Texas Instruments Sitara AM62 series of application processors. It requires low power and minimal memory usage, and supports a wide range of connectivity options, including Bluetooth and Wi-Fi.
"Consumer and industrial users rely on their connected devices, yet it's notoriously difficult for developers to identify and solve issues, let alone monitor battery performance, system crashes, or boot failures without the Memfault platform," said Justin Platt, Memfault Director of Partnerships. "Our integration with Variscite's reliable hardware infrastructure is production-ready and this partnership makes it simple for customers to get complete visibility into device performance and quality in the field."
"With Memfault's platform now available to Variscite customers, developers can have enhanced insights into their software and greater control throughout their product's lifecycle,' said Ofer Austerlitz, VP of Business Development and Sales at Variscite. "Combined with Variscite's production-ready solutions that accelerate time to market, this partnership further supports our shared goal: helping customers bring reliable products to market, faster."
This solution can be valuable for customers developing devices with zero tolerance for bugs or performance issues, such as medical devices. Variscite's extensive compliance commitments, including the ISO 13485 medical certification, combined with Memfault's tools, support the high standards required for mission-critical applications. Additionally, Memfault helps streamline regulatory compliance through SOC 2 accreditation, GDPR support, and readiness for evolving requirements like the EU Data Act and the Cyber Resilience Act.

AM Best Affirms Credit Ratings of The Hanover Insurance Group, Inc. and Its Subsidiaries
OLDWICK, N.J., July 31, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--AM Best has affirmed the Financial Strength Rating (FSR) of A (Excellent) and the Long-Term Issuer Credit Ratings (Long-Term ICR) of "a+" (Excellent) of the property/casualty subsidiaries of The Hanover Insurance Group, Inc. [NYSE: THG], which are collectively referred to as The Hanover. Additionally, AM Best has affirmed the Long-Term ICR of "bbb+" (Good) and all Long-Term Issue Credit Ratings (Long-Term IR) of The Hanover Insurance Group, Inc., which is the parent holding company. The outlook of these Credit Ratings (ratings) is stable. All companies are headquartered in Worcester, MA. (See below for a detailed listing of the companies and ratings.) The ratings reflect The Hanover's balance sheet strength, which AM Best assesses at the strongest level, as well as its adequate operating performance, favorable business profile and appropriate enterprise risk management (ERM). The Hanover's balance sheet strength assessment is supported by its risk-adjusted capitalization, which is at the strongest level, as measured by Best's Capital Adequacy Ratio (BCAR). The overall balance sheet strength assessment also considers the solid organic surplus growth over the recent five-year period despite ongoing stockholder dividends, as well as the group's stable loss reserve position and favorable development patterns. Balance sheet strength also reflects the comprehensive reinsurance program and the benefits derived from the additional financial flexibility available through the parent company, The Hanover Insurance Group, Inc. These positive factors are offset somewhat by higher premium and underwriting leverage measures, as well as the group's regional exposure to natural catastrophe and terror events. The Hanover's financial leverage remains within acceptable levels relative to the group's current ratings with improved interest coverage. The Hanover's ratings reflect its adequate operating performance. While pre-tax operating earnings have trailed the commercial casualty composite over the long term, improved operating performance in 2024 reflects ongoing initiatives to enhance results inclusive of additional rate, combined with a reduction in reported catastrophe losses relative to 2023. Rate and exposure increases drove strong top-line growth in commercial lines in 2024 as results benefited from lower catastrophe losses combined with favorable reserve development on prior-year losses. The decline in catastrophe losses in 2024 led to improvement in personal lines results, which benefit from ongoing exposure management initiatives, combined with the benefit of earned premium reflective of ongoing rate improvement. Recent 2024 initiatives, which are showing demonstrated earnings improvement include ongoing rate actions, in combination with higher insurance-to-value ratios, increases in deductibles for roofs and all perils, as well as selective non renewals where appropriate. The ratings also consider the group's favorable business profile and diversified product offerings, especially within its commercial and specialty lines of business. The Hanover's business profile assessment reflects its strong market position, reflective of its leading position in many of its targeted niche segments, as well as an experienced management team. The group's product range includes personal lines, core commercial offerings and specialty coverages, with business expansion supported by strong relationships with its independent agency partners. The Hanover has implemented an appropriately designed and embedded ERM program to address the organization's risks. The group's ERM program is appropriate for the scale, scope, and complexity of the organization and the ability to monitor key risks and tolerances is well-established. The FSR of A (Excellent) and the Long-Term ICRs of "a+" (Excellent) have been affirmed with stable outlooks for the following subsidiaries of The Hanover Insurance Group, Inc.: AIX Specialty Insurance Company Allmerica Financial Alliance Insurance Company Allmerica Financial Benefit Insurance Company Campmed Casualty & Indemnity Company, Inc.
