A great vision: one world, one module
The global expansion of low-power wide-area networks (LPWAN) is gaining momentum, and for a good reason. With demand in place, there are enough tangible opportunities to reward investment.Pick out a market application and you'll find that it's easy to think of ways in which using LPWA technologies could automate processes, locate goods, monitor infrastructure, and ultimately save on costs.
Developing low power location trackers with u-track toolset
u‑blox has introduced the toolset comprising the u-track software and the C030-R410M application board. The toolset is a rapid-prototyping platform that lets product designers test and optimise the position accuracy and power consumption of wireless location tracking applications that use LTE-M and NB‑IoT cellular networks, as well as Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technology. The toolset targets product engineers working on batter...
MCU-based board integrates Wi-Fi, sensors for IoT
Wait no longer. The much anticipated Uno WiFi Rev 2 from Arduino is on sale at Mouser Electronics. The first AVR-based, natively enabled Internet of Things (IoT) board from Arduino, the Uno WiFi Rev 2 board integrates an 8-bit microcontroller, Wi-Fi module, sensors, and hardware-based security in the familiar Uno Rev 3 form factor. The new board addresses the wireless connectivity and low power demands of the growing IoT market.
