Waves are part of our world as both waves in the ocean and radio waves coming in from the Sun’s corona share fundamental properties.[i] Wireless communication was born from the science of waves and how they travel. After more than a hundred years of study, we’ve organized waves into a large electromagnetic spectrum (EM) that […]

Passive component LoRa development kit simplifies IoT design
Raltron Electronics Corporation has launched the industry’s first passive component LoRa Development Kit to ease IoT design projects. The development kit features five different product families with a total of 60 high-performance passive components, including crystals, filters and antennas, commonly used in product development based on the LoRa protocol. The development kit includes components that […]
IoT standards: The End Game
by Cees Links, Qorvo Quite regularly I get the question: with all these standards around, what should I choose? Zigbee, Thread, Bluetooth Mesh, or Wi-Fi? Or maybe LoRa? Or is it better to wait for 5G and NB-IoT? Of course, these questions create confusion and slow down the adoption of the Internet of Things (IoT). […]
Module controls access to sensitive data in industrial PCs/controllers
Infineon Technologies AG will present the world’s first Trusted Platform Module (TPM) specifically for industrial applications at this year’s Hannover Messe (Hannover, Germany, 1-5 April 2019). The OPTIGA TPM SLM 9670 protects the integrity and identity of industrial PCs, servers, industrial controllers or edge gateways. It controls access to sensitive data in key positions in […]
IoT-in-a-box package combines hardware, applications, technical support
Digi International announced the availability of Digi Foundations, which combines hardware, software applications, services and support in a comprehensive IoT-in-a-box package that simplifies and speeds the process of creating connected digital ecosystems, especially those with mission-critical applications. As wireless data technologies spread throughout every industry, organizations seek to extend connected solutions to multiple sites in […]
Secure platform monitors and controls distributed IoT devices
Digi International has answered the call for advanced IoT management with Digi Remote Manager (DRM), a secure platform to monitor and control distributed IoT devices. DRM provides network operators, engineers and administrators all the capabilities necessary to monitor, upgrade and control connected hardware for IoT solutions running on LTE cellular networks, while also providing the freedom […]
Cellular IoT modules support assisted GPS, multiple antennas
OriginIoT systems enable developers to rapidly develop IoT products with stackable add-ons, while all data is configured from the cloud, and no additional embedded code or RF knowledge is required. Addressing the global IoT market with faster data transmission and competitive prices, the OriginIoT NB-IoT/CAT M with 2G fallback will be suited to devices that are battery-powered […]
MCUs with built-in system layer security fortify IoT application design
A new line of PSoC 64 Secure MCUs integrate robust, standards-based system layer security software with the hardware layer features available in the ultra-low-power PSoC 6 architecture. Specifically, PSoC 64 Secure MCU devices provide an isolated root-of-trust with true attestation and provisioning services. In addition, the line includes devices that deliver a pre-configured secure execution […]
SiP simplifies migrating from a microcontroller to Linux
Octavo Systems today introduced the OSD32MP1, their first System-in-Package (SiP) product based on the new STM32MP1 microprocessor from STMicroelectronics. The OSD32MP1 allows users of the popular STM32 family to move to Linux without adding size or complexity to their design. Octavo has leveraged their years of experience creating tightly integrated system building blocks to develop […]
