IoT

An embedded cellular module from Sierra Wireless is available at Richardson RFPD with full design support capabilities. The WP8548 is part of Sierra Wireless’ AirPrime WP Series, which provides an integrated device-to-cloud architecture enabling IoT developers to build a Linux-based product on a single module and seamlessly send valuable user and product data to the cloud.

Leti has announced the release of its middleware for the SensiNact IoT platform for open-source development.

Advantech has announced that it is collaborating with ARM, Microsoft, Intel Security and Acronis on a new sharing platform–WISE-PaaS Marketplace–to be unveiled at Embedded World 2017. It creates a new business model that enables customers to create diverse IoT software/cloud solutions easily and quickly within a collaborative software ecosystem for business growth and service innovation.

  Small electronic products like wearables and IoT devices can now provide high-end audio features, including advanced aural user interfaces, thanks to a new easy-to-use graphical design tool for STM32 microcontrollers from STMicroelectronics.

As the Internet of Things (IoT) industry continues to expand, new information on emerging best practices, technical specifications and design considerations continues to flood the market. Matt Smith, Head of Cortet Engineering explains.

Last week’s embedded world exhibition in Nuremburg saw MontaVista Software announce the availability of MontaVista CGX IoT, a modular and standards-based solution that delivers the connectivity, reliability, and security required for IoT Gateway manufacturers.

The embedded, wireless stack available from UbiquiOS Technology is now supporting Transport Layer Security (TLS1.2) functionality in a microcontroller-based Secure Element provided by Trusted Objects, allowing developers full featured end-to-end security on IoT devices.

  Icon Labs has announced the availability of the Floodgate Certificate Authority (CA). Floodgate CA is the server side portion of Icon Labs’ PKI solution and provides certificate management for companies choosing to implement their own certificate-based authentication using public key infrastructure.

Everywhere you look, the IoT is driving commercial innovation. Smarter inventory management, delivered through RFID location-based technology, is removing human error and the costs of manual checks and missed deliveries. Sophisticated data capture is driving enhanced customer insight, leading to increased revenue and profitability. And operating costs are being slashed as processes become more efficient and less reliant on manual labour.

The embedded world exhibition saw Lemonbeat introduce an updated version of its Lemonbeat Device Development Kit. This offers OEMs a hardware and software platform on which to rapidly implement new IoT designs based on Lemonbeat technology and lets designers integrate multiple sensors and actuators into their end product design prototype, write application code for it and test the operation of their device.
