| | Telit and Wind River Team up for IIoT Effort Telit has announced it is collaborating with Wind River, an Intel company, to accelerate Industrial IoT (IIoT) adoption. Through this relationship, Telit and Wind River are reducing the complexities of IoT device management, helping companies quickly and securely realize the full solution benefits of IIoT. Wind River is using Telit's IoT platform technology for its device management platform. The latest release of Wind River Helix Device Cloud is making it easier for companies to capture data on-premise or in the cloud, providing enhanced system analytics and remote device management. By enabling users to aggregate and perform computing tasks, Device Cloud helps perform informed business intelligence to protect investments, use infrastructure, improve processes and generate new revenue streams. CONTINUE READING IoT Sensor Node Gets LoRaWAN Certification Advantech offers its standardized M2.COM IoT LoRaWAN certified sensor node WISE-1510 with integrated ARM Cortex-M4 processor and LoRa transceiver. The module is able to provide multiple interfaces for sensors and I/O control such as UART, I2C, SPI, GPIO, PWM and ADC. The WISE-1510 sensor node is well suited for for smart cities, agriculture, metering, street lighting and environment monitoring. With power consumption optimization and wide area reception, LoRa sensors or applications with low data rate requirements can achieve years of battery life and kilometers of long distance connection. WISE-1510 has received LoRaWAN certification from the LoRa Alliance. Depending on deployment requirements, developers can select to use public LoRaWAN network services or build a private LoRa system with the WISE-3610 LoRa IoT gateway. Advantech's WISE-3610 is a Qualcomm ARM Cortex A7 based hardware platform with private LoRa ecosystem solution that can connect up to 500 WISE-1510 sensor node devices. Powered by Advantech's WISE-PaaS IoT Software Platform, WISE-3610 features automatic cloud connection through its WISE-PaaS/WISE Agent service. It manages wireless nodes and data via WSN management APIs, and helps developers streamline IoT data acquisition development through sensor service APIs and WSN drivers. Developers can leverage microprocessors on WISE-1510 to build their own applications. WISE-1510 offers unified software including ARM Mbed OS and SDK for easy development with APIs and related documents. Developers can also find extensive resources from Github such as code review, library integration and free core tools. CONTINUE READING |

STMicroelectronics and Objenious Collaborate on IoT LoRa Network Deal STMicroelectronics and Objenious are working together to accelerate the connection of IoT nodes to LoRa networks. ST's development kits certified on the Objenious network are available now, greatly reducing R&D effort and time to market in the creation of new LoRa devices.
STM32 Nucleo LoRa kits are now certified and available to developers through ST sales channels. LoRAWAN is a Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN) based on LoRa technology that is opening up a world of possibilities to create networks of connected devices ideal to address a broad range of IoT applications. The benefits of LoRa especially suit applications where nodes have limited power capability, can be difficult to access, and data transfers don't require high bandwidth. LoRa can target a wide spectrum of applications such as tracking, proactive maintenance, and many others. Industry analysts estimate there will be tens of billions of connected devices deployed in the world by 2020.
Objenious launched and operates the first LoRa network in France, with more than 4,200 antennas deployed around the country. Leveraging the network know-how inherited from Bouygues Telecom, Objenious now proposes its LoRa network, platform, and services for LPWAN IoT to partners and customers locally and internationally thanks to roaming agreements.

Miniaturized Sensor Dies Target IoT and Automotive Markets
TDK has announced new miniaturized EPCOS MEMS pressure sensor dies. The automotive versions of the C33 series boast dimensions of just 1 mm x 1 mm x 0.4 mm. They are designed for absolute pressures of 1.2 bar to 10 bar and are qualified based on AEC-Q101. The typical operating voltage is 3 V. With a supply voltage of 5 V they offer sensitivities of between 15 mV/bar and 80 mV/bar, depending on the type. The miniaturized pressure sensors are suitable for a temperature range from -40 °C to +135 °C and can even withstand 140 °C for short periods. They also offer a very long-term stability of ± 0.35% FS (full scale).
The C39 type, with its footprint of just 0.65 mm x 0.65 mm is especially suitable for IoT and consumer applications. One noteworthy feature of the C39 is its low insertion height of just 0.24 mm, which makes the low-profile MEMS pressure sensor die ideal for applications in smartphones and wearables, for example, where space requirements are critical. The C39 is designed for an absolute pressure of 1.2 bar and, like the C33 series, offers long-term stability of ± 0.35% FS. All the pressure sensor dies operate on the piezoresistive principle and deliver, via a Wheatstone bridge, an analog signal that is proportional to the applied pressure and the supply voltage.
