Stadium Group, a provider of IoT connectivity solutions, power products, human machine interface (HMI) and electronic assemblies, has announced the launch of an exciting new design offering which enables OEMs to develop smarter IoT solutions and achieve accelerated speed to market.
The S-series of platform devices offer customers an alternative to a fully customized IoT solution which can be time consuming and expensive. The S-series platforms, developed in Stadium’s dedicated connectivity design center in Kista, Sweden, provide a flexible, scalable and cost-effective solution with reduced R&D risk and future-proofed technology.
The first platform to launch this month is the S-track Nano, a compact self-install vehicle tracking device using the latest GNSS, 3G and Bluetooth technology.
The S-track Nano provides real-time tracking of a vehicle’s position, speed and acceleration using A-GPS and a 3-axis accelerometer. Vehicle diagnostics and driving statistics are continuously collected through the CAN interface and communicated over the cellular network.
The S-track Nano platform is ideal for vehicle tracking applications such as fleet management, vehicle leasing, usage-based insurance and crash detection. The hardware has been designed into a small package, which is an attractive feature for customers where space is typically limited. The device is around 70% complete in terms of usability, which means it is possible to customize an IoT solution according to the customer’s requirement thus enabling the end solution to be developed much quicker than creating a solution from scratch. Speed to market is vastly improved, and customized IP is owned by the customer; strengthening their competitive advantage.
Further S-series platform devices are in development for other vertical markets, including an asset/cargo tracker, a BT sensor and an inventory control unit, and will be launched by Stadium during 2018.
