IoT

To meet the growing demand for long-lasting low-power NarrowBand (NB) IoT modules, and aiding device manufacturers meet these demands, Gemalto and Huawei, through its semiconductor arm, HiSilicon, are working together to develop the next generation of modules that combine an extra level of security and consume very low power.

Back in October, Hardware Pioneers hosted the ‘IoT and connected hardware showcase’ which brought together some of the best UK IoT startups to showcase their products alongside leading technology providers in the sector.  The event which took place on the 5th October, saw over 300 pioneers come and connect with the people who are aiming to reinvent the future of things.

Supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, Renesas Electronics, has announced the expansion of its RX65N/RX651 group of microcontroller (MCU) lineup that addresses advanced security needs for connected devices operating in industrial automation, building automation, and smart metering systems. The expanded lineup features MCUs with integrated Trusted Secure IP, and enhanced, trusted flash functionality and human-machine interface (HMI) for ind...

If there is an industry that can embody a country’s comprehensive national strength most typically and gradually reconstruct the new pattern of global competitiveness, it is intelligent manufacturing. The second Made in China 2025 (Shenzhen) Summit Forum themed by 'Smart Transformation of Global Manufacturing' was convened as scheduled on 8th and 9th April.

Global mobile satellite communications provider, Inmarsat, has agreed to enter into a strategic partnership with Pessl Instruments, a provider of advanced agriculture technology solutions, to become its sole connectivity and platforms provider. The partnership promises to speed up the adoption of IoT in the agricultural sector by making it possible for customers to take advantage of IoT anywhere on the planet.

  There is no denying it, urban spaces are growing. Recent figures reveal that, within the next 30 years, so-called ‘supercities’ of 50 million people or more could exist in nearly every continent. The concept of running a gigantic metropolitan area could feasibly strike fear into the hearts of town planners, governments and environmentalists.

The IoT world is growing again, as Gemalto is expanding Industrial IoT connectivity with a significant breakthrough in wireless engineering – the industry’s first IoT moduleto provide global connectivity on 12 LTE bands plus, 3G and 2G cellular coverage all from a single device. This greatly simplifies logistics and distribution and lowers the cost of global IoT deployments.

The Italian tech startup TOI (Things On Internet) Srl, active in the development of IoT solutions, has launched a Kickstarter campaign for 4zerobox: which it claims to be the first modular electronic board that is easy-to-configure and specifically designed for IoT and Industry 4.0 solution providers. With 4zerobox, small and large enterprises can accelerate the digitisation of industrial environments, where the implementation is often limit...

Watch this video from Renesas to learn how real time IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things) gateway solution connect sensor end points to a gateway that supports a secure cloud connection, and acts as an OPC UA Server aggregator.

Network operator enabling the Internet of Things, eleven-X has announced its second smart campus initiative with the University of British Columbia aimed at real time tracking of fill levels of on campus outdoor waste disposal and recycling bins associated with the campus parking facilities.
