Solar Powered BLE Sensor Platform Offers Battery-Less IoT Solution
ON Semiconductor has introduced its RSL10 Multi-Sensor Platform powered only with a solar cell. This complete solution supports the development of IoT sensors using continuous solar energy harvesting to gather and communicate data through Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), without the need for batteries or other forms of non-renewable energy. The combination of ultra-low-power wireless communications, small form-factor solar cell and low duty cycle sensing makes it possible to develop and deploy totally maintenance-free IoT sensor nodes. The RSL10 Solar Cell Multi-Sensor Platform is enabled by the RSL10 SIP, a complete System-in-Package (SiP) solution featuring the RSL10 radio, integrated antenna and all passive components. Firms Collaborate on Edge Gateway and Other IoT Solutions
U-blox and SolidRun have announced a collaboration on a range of connectivity products for the IoT, including turnkey IoT Edge Gateways for indoor and outdoor use, SBCs and System-on-Modules (SOMs). Each of the new solutions incorporate a U-blox NINA stand-alone single-, dual- or multi-radio module, providing the connectivity required by IoT applications in a small, low power and fully certified format. During Embedded World 2019, SolidRun formally introduced its latest product: the SolidSense N6 Edge Gateway (shown), an enterprise-grade IoT M2M gateway designed to manage a local network of IoT endpoints. The N6 Edge Gateway is a fully enclosed fan-less design in configurations suitable for either indoor or outdoor installation, making it simpler than ever to introduce Internet connectivity in a distributed network of smart sensors and actuators.

IIoT Software Update Boosts Interoperability and Scalability
Moxa has announced the release of the latest software update for its industrial network management software, MXview. The software update enables system developers to easily integrate MXview into  both IT and OT systems, as well as manage large-scale networks at multiple sites. MXview has a user-friendly interface to help developers view network status quickly and conveniently.
MXview supports a web widget that provides a URL for users to integrate MXview into SCADA systems and other web-based applications. In addition to integrating MXview into OT applications, MXview now supports RESTful API, which provides IT engineers with more options to manage and control their industrial networks with their own dashboard to reduce maintenance effort. The updated MXview offers a centralized monitoring approach for up to 10 different sites that have a maximum of 2,000 network devices per site.
Preparing for an IoT Edge Project
Before starting your IoT edge device development process, it is wise to spend time preparing for your new project. Planning before you start will limit frustration and save you time and money in the long run. Before diving into the task, study the 15 preparation considerations in this white paper.
GET THE FREE WHITE PAPER SOMs Based on RK3399 and PX30 SoCs Target IoT
Arbor Technology has introduced a pair of System-on-Module (SOM) products both based on Rockchip SoCs, the RK3399-based SOM-RK391 and the Rockchip PX30-based SOM-RP301. Both modules run Ubuntu, Buildroot or Android 9.0. Along with the pair of modules, the company has also released the PBA-9000-A, its SOM-Series, single pin-out design carrier board. Built around the Rockchip RK3399 hexa-core (2x Cortex-A72 + 4x Cortex-A53) SoC, the SOM-RK391 is (shown) designed for high-performance applications such as AI computing, edge computing and machine vision, according to Arbor. For memory, the RK391 provides 2 GB to 4 GB of LPDDR4 DRAM and mass storage via 16 GB eMMC flash plus support SD Card boot up. The Mali-T860MP4 GPU supports OpenGL ES1.1/2.0/3.0/3.1, OpenVG1.1, OpenCL and DX11. Display support includes eDP, MIPI DSI and HDMI. The compact 69.6 mm x 70 mm SOM supports extended operating temperatures from 10 to 70ºC. The RK391 also provides Wi-Fi /Bluetooth support including 2T2R 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0 with real simultaneous dual-band (RSDB). You also get 2x MIPI CSI RX camera interfaces with 13 MP ISP. For I/O you get 4x USB 2.0, 2x USB 3.0 2 (Type C), 2x 2-wire UART ports and 2x 4-wire UART ports. There's also support for RTC, 10-bit 1 MS/s ADC, SDIO, DIO, GPIO, SPI and I2C.  SlingShot is Offering Free Labor for 1st Time Customers!They are changing the game in PCB assembly.
