IoT

The cloud of confusion around smart home development was greatly reduced with the introduction of Matter, a new technology standard introduced by the Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA). If you have ever shopped for devices to make your home a little smarter, you may appreciate the impact Matter is having on the smart home industry.

u-blox, a global provider of positioning and wireless communication technologies and services, has announced its partnership with Nagakawa Group to develop smart Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC), and Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) systems digitally integrated with a Building Management System (BMS) software.

In this article, we speak with Sabrina Bochen, Director, Product Planning and Marketing at u-blox on the evolution of cellular networks.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is changing the way businesses understand and interact with consumers. This pervading technology, first conceptualised by Kevin Ashton in 1999, has evolved from its initial focus on RFID tags in supply chain management to encompass a broad network of interconnected devices and sensors.

In an era where seamless connectivity and real-time data exchange are paramount, scientists at the University of Florida have introduced a method to shakeup wireless communication through the development of three-dimensional processors.

In the consumer device world, the Matter protocol is exciting huge interest because it holds out the promise – finally – that all smart devices in the home can respond to commands from a single controller or app.

The Internet of Things (IoT) has influenced almost everyone’s life and work in recent times. For some people, their engagement with the IoT may be as simple as using a smartwatch to track their eating or exercise habits or taking advantage of the utility company’s smart meter to save energy and keep bills under control. At the other extreme, it has become possible to connect everything, including appliances, lighting, heating, door lo...

As IoT’s applications continue to expand in both industrial and consumer settings, legislation has recognised the potential security risks this extra connectivity brings to our world. Consequently, demands for standardisation in a sector that is sparse in agreement about such matters have emerged. Mainly focused on the consumer side, the UK’s PSTI Act and the US’ Cyber Trust Mark, both commencing in 2024, will set security stand...

Kontron has recently broadened its product range with the introduction of the OSM-S i.MX93 module.

Nordic Semiconductor is set to unveil the ‘Thingy:91 X’ at embedded world 2024, held in Nuremberg, Germany, from 9-11th April.
