Axiomtek has released ICO310, the industry's first field controller with PoE PD function. The ICO310, a robust din-rail IIoT embedded system, supports low power Braswell Intel Celeron processor N3060 1.6GHz dual-core or N3160 1.6GHz quad-core with up to 8GB DDR3L system memory, delivering high performance and low power consumption at competitive price.

The development of IoT and smart home devices and systems has been simplified by the new Wubby platform which offers a programming environment that supports Python code execution directly in the microcontroller of the device. This allows a broader developer audience to create new everyday objects because of the popularity of Python.

Researchers are using the same principle to identify devices on electrical grid control networks, using their unique electronic "voices" - fingerprints produced by the devices' individual physical characteristics - to determine which signals are legitimate and which signals might be from attackers. A similar approach could also be used to protect networked industrial control systems in oil and gas refineries, manufacturing facilities, wastew...

As a leading provider of connected devices in France, Wistiki has officially become a member of the global LoRa Alliance. Wistiki will be the first company in France designing and marketing a product based on LoRaTechnology by end of 2016. Within the LoRa Alliance, Wistiki will be representative of B2C opportunities and solutions next to companies such as Cisco, IBM, Actility and Bouygues Telecom.

Advantech, along with ARM, Bosch Sensortec, Sensirion and Texas Instruments (TI), announced the collaboration of a new Internet of Things (IoT) sensor platform called M2.COM at embedded world 2016. The IoT era brings new opportunities to traditional industries and drives business evolution for the next generation of products and services.

For designers of connected devices - from smart home appliances to wearable fitness trackers to factory automation equipment - the interconnectivity of the Internet of Things (IoT) is largely outweighed by the specific application requirements they must address. Cypress Semiconductor is addressing the diversity of the IoT, and common design concerns such as time to market and power consumption, with its expanded portfolio of ARM-Cortex-M-based PS...

HCC Embedded has added an IPSec/IKEv2 module to its growing range of embedded networking and security software. HCC’s verifiable network stacks now have a full set of security protocols and can handle all popular forms of secure network traffic. IPSec/IKEv2 works seamlessly with HCC’s IPv4/v6 stacks to create robust host-to-host, host-to-gateway and gateway-to-gateway security.

GIGABYTE Technology showcased its latest embedded computer solution, the EL-20 series, for the opening of the Embedded World trade show in Nuremberg, Germany (booth no.2-453, Hall 2). Designed in partnership with Intel for the Intel IoT Gateway program, the EL-20 series comes in 3 variants based on different models of the new Intel SoC processors based on the Airmont architecture and the tri-gate 14nm process.
