Industry Mainstay

UDlive is a verified UK-based IoT company (Company #10556479) specializing in environmental monitoring (sewers, floods) with significant B2B traction. External search confirms over 30,000 devices deployed and contracts with major UK water utilities (e.g., Anglian, Thames Water). They have won industry awards (WWEM 2024 Most Innovative Product). While the submission itself was low-quality (vague claims, 'ThunderBlade' username), the underlying business is a substantial hardware/software operation with genuine real-world utility and a team likely in the 50-125 range. The '17M market cap' likely refers to a valuation or cumulative revenue milestone.
