Silicon Labs has introduced its highly anticipated Thread networking solution, delivering a software stack built upon years of mesh networking expertise and advanced software development tools. Silicon Labs’ Thread solution offers developers the fastest path to developing Thread-compliant products for the IoT including thermostats, wireless sensor networks, smoke/CO detectors, connected lighting devices, control panels, wireless access poin...

Weightless SIG has announced the deployment of Weightless-N smart city networks from Nwave Technologies across Copenhagen and the south of Denmark around the city of Esbjerg. Copenhagen is Denmark’s capital and largest city and Esbjerg the second largest port city and a leading European offshore energy industry centre.

A green self-sustainable device recharge station and info point with complimentary WiFi access, the Smart Palm has been created. The Smart Palm project is an iconic fusion of easy access to information, accessible WiFi and green technology. Each Smart palm is equipped with a 360° IR CCTV camera and an Emergency button accessible through the Touchscreen Application.

GreenPeak Technologies has announced what it claims to be the industry’s first single radio multi-protocol chipset with multi-channel receive capability for STBs, gateways and other advanced IoT devices. The GP712 will enable devices to support multiple protocols in normal operation, or to create a single SKU (stock keeping unit) that determines the type of protocol used in the consumer’s home at the time of installation instead of as...

Freescale Semiconductor has introduced the world’s smallest Single Chip Module (SCM) for the IoT. As the IoT requires more processing horsepower to be packed into ever smaller spaces, Freescale’s SCM line of products can integrate hundreds of components including processors, memory, power management and RF parts, which would otherwise be deployed on a 6" board, into a tiny 17x14x1.7mm package.

Fujitsu has announced the release of the FUJITSU Cloud IoT Platform in Japan. Based on FUJITSU Knowledge Integration, the platform service is designed for utilising IoT data over digital business platforms.

Imagination Technologies and TSMC have announced a collaboration to develop a series of advanced IP subsystems for the IOT, to accelerate time to market and simplify the design process for mutual customers. These IP platforms, complemented by highly optimised reference design flows, bring together the breadth of Imagination’s IP with TSMC’s advanced process technologies from 55 down to 10nm.

The fundamental goal of the Internet of Things is to develop a self-sustaining network of everyday objects, with the logic being that their collective intelligence and value is far higher than each individual object could achieve by itself.

At Sensors Expo, Hoffmann-Krippner will demonstrate how its SensoInk and SensoFoil intelligent sensing technologies can be used for IoT applications such as process automation, position tracking and real time supply chain support. SensoInk is a reliable, accurate analogue sensing solution based on printed polymer pastes, with low power requirements, operating at 5V.

To enable the fast and efficient development of highly customised chips for smart connect devices, ARM has announced its latest hardware subsystem. The ARM IoT subsystem for ARM Cortex-M processors is optimised for use with ARM's most efficient processor and radio technologies, physical IP and ARM mbed OS.
