How do you make sure that you are IoT ready?
When it comes to the IoT, there are huge challenges involved in moving beyond proof of concept projects into real commercial, large scale IoT deployments.
SMARC 2.0 module suitable for development of smart devices
Global provider of Embedded Computing Technology (ECT), Kontron, has introduced a new energy-efficient SMARC 2.0 module. Thanks to the use of low power NXP i.MX7 CPUs in both dual-core and single-core configurations the SMARC-sAMX7 is suitable for the development of smart devices in a compact and fanless design. This approach, which balances processor and graphics performance while retaining a very low energy footprint, is especially useful in In...

Portugal presents the first NB-IoT smart meter
The first NB-IoT Smart Meter has been developed by Huawei, which has been one of the main contributors towards standardising NB-IoT technology (4.5G technology), in partnership with JANZ CE and u-blox. EDP Distribuição is using this technology for a pilot project as part of the UPGRID project of the Horizon 2020 Programme of the European Commission. The infrastructure network using NB-IoT technology has been installed by NOS, b...
SIM products enable secure connection of IoT devices
Two solutions to connect billions of Internet of Things (IoT) devices have been launched by G+D Mobile Security; 'IoT Attach' and 'IoT Advance'. The 'IoT Attach' and 'IoT Advance' Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) products have been developed in cooperation with reference Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and IoT application providers. These dedicated SIM products not only offer the benefit of network protection to MNOs, but also protect IoT da...
Sensor platform simplifies integration into IoT networks
Laird is going to be launching a new multi-wireless sensor platform that enables enterprise customers to deploy secure, stable wireless sensors in long-range Enterprise Internet of Things (EIoT) applications, especially those requiring precise temperature and humidity control.
Wafer-level System-in-Package for IoT applications
Not only serving as packaging support, advanced packaging is a key enabling technology that offers more value and cost reduction to the final products. The advanced packaging industry with its seven percent CAGR between 2016 and 2022 (in revenues) is undoubtedly a dynamic sector where innovations play a key role. NXP’s SCM-i.MX6Q FO PoP SiP with boot memory and power management is a good illustration of the evolution of advanced packaging p...
Balancing risk with IoT benefits
The British media widely reported how the recent WannaCry cyber attack largely targeted NHS trusts across the country. However, what was not as widely reported was that the attack also affected many factories across the world, shutting down production and causing concerns about data security. Here, Steve Hughes, managing director of power quality specialist REO UK, looks at how companies can reap the benefits of interconnected devices while stayi...
IoT accelerating the globalisation of food production
An Internet of Things (IoT) research study from Inmarsat, has found that agritech businesses are helping many food producers to meet increasingly stringent import requirements by monitoring production, food hygiene, and sustainability through the use of IoT. This will accelerate the globalisation of food production by enabling developing country food producers to export to developed economies, where these regulations originate from.
