5G-Ready IoT Module Provides Advanced Security
U-blox has announced the SARA-R5 series of LTE-M and NB-IoT modules for low power wide area (LPWA) IoT applications. The module is built on the U-blox UBX-R5 cellular chipset and the U-blox M8 GNSS receiver chip. By integrating a hardware-based Root of Trust in a discrete secure element within the UBX-R5 chipset, the device provides robust secure communication from the chip all the way to the cloud. The secure element is compliant with EAL5+ High common criteria certification, making the SARA-R5 well suited to protect sensitive assets and communications. The module also features a lightweight and low power pre-shared key (PSK) management system that is tailored to the needs of IoT applications, along with a comprehensive set of security features. LTE-M and NB-IoT are forward-compatible with 5G networks and, by implementing key LTE-M and NB-IoT features from 3GPP Release 14, SARA-R5 offers developers a smooth transition towards 5G via software upgrades to already deployed devices.

Report Expects PoE Solutions Market toExceed $2 Billion by 2025
The power-over-Ethernet (PoE) solutions market size is set to exceed $2 billion (USD) by 2025, according to a new research report by Global Market Insights. The PoE solutions market growth is driven by the increase in the number of connected devices generating demand for more power, light and data converged networks in IoT-enabled infrastructure, says the report. The enterprises are facing challenges while designing a network infrastructure that can support several IoT devices. They are continuously seeking new ways to address network capacity planning for high-speed performance.
PoE solutions enable companies to manufacture PoE-compatible network devices to provide a cost-effective solution for larger installations. The PoE solutions-enabled network infrastructure is helping companies to eliminate additional hardware and reduce costs required to provide connectivity and power to connected devices separately.

Atom E3800 SoC-Based Fanless Computer Targets Industrial IoT
WinSystems has rolled out its SYS-ITX-N-3800 encased computing platform. Based on the Intel Atom E-3800 processor, this space-saving packaged CPU offers consistently reliable performance under extended operating temperatures of -25ºC to +60ºC. Inside its 150 mm x 150 mm x 53 mm rugged aluminum enclosure is a generous mix of processor and practical input/output options. This system is optimally engineered to satisfy diverse embedded system requirements and easily mount in tight spaces.
Processing performance is a solid match for Windows 10 IoT and Linux operating systems, enabling long product life cycle solutions for Industrial IoT, energy management and medical designs. The SYS-ITX-N-3800 supplies a complete system in a small form factor box that can be easily expanded or configured for different application requirements. It provides connectivity with two USB 3.0 host channels, an RS-232/422/485 serial port, VGA and DisplayPort.

Nordic Semiconductor's Modules Selected for IoT Positioning Platform
Nordic Semiconductor has announced that its nRF9160 System-in-Package (SiP) LTE-M/NB-IoT cellular IoT modules and nRF52840 Bluetooth 5/Bluetooth Low Energy (Bluetooth LE) SoCs are being used in the turnkey "GEPS" indoor and outdoor IoT positioning platform developed by Swedish industrial IoT startup, H&D Wireless.
GEPS is a turnkey, application-as-a-service solution that is designed to bridge the information gap between physical assets and business systems. It requires no upfront investment in hardware or software, and instead employs small 59 mm x 52 mm x 23 mm battery-powered, industrial-grade IoT tags (shown) embedded with either a Nordic nRF9160 SiP or nRF52840 SoC to track key assets and equipment via cellular, GPS or Bluetooth wireless technology in real-time.
