NeoCortec is releasing its new P Series of wireless NeoMesh modules at Electronica in Munich from 15th to 18th November 2022 in Hall B5 at Stand W11. Featuring an RF/IO antenna connection placed under the module on solder pads for quick and easy soldering to any PCB, the P Series modules allow for a more efficient […]
What are the constituents of Matter?
Not elementary particles. The Matter being discussed here is an interoperable application layer software suite for wireless IoT devices. The constituents of that Matter include a modular software stack plus bridges, controllers, border routers, security including authentication, and cloud connectivity. Matter uses Thread, Wi-Fi, Ethernet transport, and Bluetooth LE for commissioning. Matter was initially called […]
How does Matter work as middleware for IoT devices?
Matter has been called an interoperable application layer solution, and the same source, the Connectivity Standards Alliance that oversees the development of Matter, refers to it as a protocol. This FAQ explores the definitions of communications interfaces and protocols. Compares those definitions with Matter and presents the possibility that Matter is not a protocol but […]
