IoT

A Proof Of Concept (POC) for an Internet of Things (IoT) solution has been unveiled by Analog Devices and DELL EMC that tracks the health and location of first responders. The POC IoT solution is designed to improve the safety and effectiveness of first responders when involved in an emergency situation, especially those in harsh environments. 

The IoT is an exciting new development in connectivity and technology that is happening as you read this. Essentially, IoT allows our multitude of devices to “talk” to each other, creating levels of interaction that have the potential to transform our daily lives. IoT applications in healthcare are particularly appealing because they can potentially help us diagnose, treat, and prevent illness or disease in much mo...

Sierra Wireless introduced AirPrime HL and WP Series cellular modules for Category-M1 (Cat-M1) and Category-NB1 (Cat-NB1) LTE networks. Sierra Wireless’ solutions support the 3GPP standard for low-power wide-area (LPWA) technologies, which was designed specifically to enable new IoT services that promise to improve everyday life (see infographic).

Swedish-American energy storage provider, NorthStar, has introduced a remote management solution at Intelec in Austin, Texas. The solution, named NorthStar ACE (Advanced Connected Energy), will change the way energy storage is managed. NorthStar ACE will be deployed in select installations during Q4 2016 and be fully available in the market from Q1 2017.

Renesas Electronics, Express Logic, and IAR Systems announced their collaboration on the development of next-gen Renesas Synergy IoT platform solution based on the new ARMv8-M architecture. The innovative platform solution will enable a wider number of developers to rapidly create secure connected IoT devices by reducing the complexity of designing and deploying advanced security technologies in embedded systems.

Accelerating the development of IoT applications, Solid State Supplies now offers the mangOH Green product from Sierra Wireless. Backed by the support of the knowledgeable and experienced technical team at Solid State Supplies’ disposal, this highly intuitive open hardware platform facilitates cellular-enabled IoT designs, allowing rapid progress from concept and prototyping phases through to full scale production.

Wireless connectivity modules have become increasingly popular with Industry 4.0 and Internet of Things (IoT) developers because advanced integration helps lower development costs, eases burden on RF design, reduces time to market and simplifies procurement and certification. Texas Instruments (TI) has announced an expansion of its wireless connectivity module portfolio.

It has been announced by IAR Systems that Noa Technologies is using the complete development toolchain IAR Embedded Workbench to develop an Internet of Things (IoT) fleet management solution. Thanks to the powerful debugging and compiler capabilities of IAR Embedded Workbench, the engineers at Noa are able to speed up their development cycle.

Launching any SoC on a highly competitive market demands a differentiation for which Hisense was searching for an ultra low-power solution to extend battery life-time of wireless-connected devices. Designing such an integrated circuit introduces new challenges: silicon area, power consumption and BoM cost must be aggressively reduced, while dealing with noise issues in a mixed-signal SoC embedding multiple power domains with diverse power modes.

  u-blox announced ARM mbed OS 5 support for the ODIN-W2 wireless IoT gateway module and the NINA-B1 Bluetooth low energy module – a unique combination of features currently offered by no other manufacturer. The ARM mbed OS 5 incorporates a real-time operating system (RTOS) in the core of the operating system.
