Creating the internet of low power things
Reducing power consumption is a major challenge facing the IoT. Steve Rogerson looks at the techniques being employed.Some extremely large figures have been bandied around for the number of devices that will eventually make up the Internet-of-Things as research companies try to outdo each other in their predictions.
Arrow sends technology to African orphans
Arrow Electronics and the non-profit organisations Close the Gap and Hoops of Hope collaborate to turn used cargo containers into fully equipped digital classrooms and health clinics that can be deployed to remote areas of Africa. The first “DigiTruck” in Africa was unveiled to the Tuleeni Orphanage in Tanzania in early August. The DigiTruck is now providing some 80 orphans at Tuleeni with a classroom full of high-quality, refurbished...
Microcontrollers open up IoT applications
The new Intel Quark processors that Intel unveiled at its Internet if Things (IoT) Insights event in San Francisco will be on the market from Arrow Electronics. The new Intel Quark microcontroller D1000, Intel Quark microcontroller D2000 and the Intel Quark SE microcontroller announced today are designed to bring low-cost connectivity, integration and compatibility to the next wave of intelligent things.
IoT development kit based on Arduino form factor
The SmartEverything Internet of Things (IoT) development kit from Arrow Electronics is in stock at RS Components. The new SmartEverything ‘Fox’ board is an Arduino-form-factor IoT system-on-module that comes with a multitude of factory-bundled I/O ports and sensors and with an energy-efficient wireless connectivity technology.
WiFi, Bluetooth combo-connectivity arrives in one package
Design engineers can now create solutions with significantly more advanced functionality and connectivity while saving time and design costs by utilising the certified WiLink 8 module from Texas Instruments (TI) combined with i.MX6 processors from Freescale. Available from Arrow Electronics, this new module provides users with the best of both worlds: it enables Wi-Fi and Bluetooth combo-connectivity in a single package which can be added to embe...

Semiconductor inventory under control
The semiconductor market is currently in a slow growth period. After 10% growth in 2014, the market is expected to only show low single-digit growth in 2015. Our own forecast at Semiconductor Intelligence is 1.5%. In several previous market slowdowns, inventories in the channel have climbed as some companies were slow to adjust their inventories to match lower demand levels.
