Electronic Specifier takes a look at the top IoT products to have been released in January.

Phillips Hue smart lighting

Signify has unveiled a range of Philips Hue smart lighting products and features to create ambiance outside and inside your home. Outdoor wall and bollard lights, plus new effects in the Philips Hue appcan enhance any occasion, whether you’re socialising with friends on the patio or spending a romantic night on the sofa.

Tool suite enables dense deployments for LoRa

Semtech Corporation, a global supplier of high performance analog and mixed-signal semiconductors and advanced algorithms, announced the release of a software upgrade for LoRa integrated circuits (IC) and gateways that significantly increases network capacity, robustness to interference and enables a low power and reliable direct data links from sensors to satellites.

The software enhancement can be leveraged by second generation LoRa ICs to enable the LoRaWAN standard new data rate, Long Range Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (LR-FHSS), recently ratified by the LoRa Alliance.

Interoperable terrestrial and satellite LoRaWAN

Senet, a provider of cloud-based software and services platforms that enable global connectivity and on-demand network build-outs for the Internet of Things (IoT), announced it has partnered with Eutelsat, TrakAssure, and Wyld Networks to bring seamlessly integrated and interoperable terrestrial and satellite LoRaWAN IoT connectivity to customers across the globe.

Through platform integrations, innovative sensor and hardware design, collaborative service delivery, and compelling pricing, the companies are targeting the global supply chain, including container logistics and related asset tracking, as the first and anchor applications. End-to-end managed network services delivered through this collaboration will provide a new level of visibility into supply chain operations.

MES platform to improve speed, quality, and traceability

Aegis Software, a global provider of IIoT-based Manufacturing Execution Software (MES), announces that CARI Electronic, EMS partner in Valence near to Lyon, France, has chosen FactoryLogix as a key part of their MES Industry 4.0 journey. For 35 years, CARI Electronic has been providing electronic services, from the design of electronic systems to the production of electronic cards and integration of complex systems, with the constant goal to provide their customers with accelerated turn-around times and a high standard of quality.

As a member of the innovative French Tech organisation and EN9100 certified, CARI Electronic satisfies exacting customer needs across several industries, including aerospace, medical, energy, industrial IoT applications, and audio, applying stringent IPC manufacturing standards.

Sigfox energy harvesting module

Sigfox, an IoT (Internet of Things) communication service provider and 0G network pioneer, announces its partnership with HT Micron, a Brazilian expert in advanced semiconductor solutions, and Nowi, a semiconductor company that specialises in the development of energy harvesting power management technology, to explore and unlock the benefits of integrating energy harvesting into Sigfox devices.

This collaboration marks the first step for Sigfox towards a commercial development of energy harvesting modules to equip IoT devices and contribute to more sustainability in IoT. Key use cases are applications in Smart metering, industrial sensoring, asset tracking and air quality monitoring.

During the research phase, HT Micron has worked on creating the innovative semiconductor solution to be integrated with Nowi’s Energy Harvesting PMIC (Power Management Integrated Circuit) designed especially for low power IoT devices. Equipped on Sigfox devices and powered by the 0G technology, this solution will help reduce battery consumption and offer longer autonomy while reducing the total cost of ownership.
