Laird Connectivity’s LoRa-based smart temperature monitoring solution saves up to $50,000 worth of inventory. A variety of restaurants deploy the solutions including Shake Shack and Five Guys. Read more
To meet the needs of more than 60,000 students, the University of British Columbia (UBC) used a Canadian LoRaWAN® network provider to roll out its new smart campus solutions to help with waste management and the ever-annoying parking problem. Read more
A new project has been published to the official Arduino blog this week providing insight into a new LoRa security camera and detection system that is capable of transmitting data when a trust parser is recognised. The system is also clever enough to ignore animals such as dogs that move into its field of view and will only trigger when it recognises a human figure. Watch the video below for a demonstration of its capabilities from its creator, Tegwyn Twmffat. Read more
Tim Wright from the Institute of Telecoms Professionals reports from a recent seminar exploring questions around the barriers to commercial, at-scale adoption of the internet of things, and how to overcome them Read more
Antennas are a fundamental component of any wireless RF solution. Both the most complex and the simplest wireless RF applications rely on antennas for end to end communication. The quality and performance of the antenna are critical to the correct operation of any wireless system, and it pays to specify it wisely. Selection is often left to the last minute, but design integration is key to getting the best deployment performance. Read more
Traditionally, security has been an afterthought in computer network designs, which has helped make many of them vulnerable to hacking. But the LoRaWAN low-power wide area network (LPWAN) provides an example of a network technology that was designed from the outset to take security into account. Read more
Who would want to be easily replaceable? But where x86 technology is concerned, this functionality has come a long way! Today, IoT gateway manufacturers are striving to raise the level of interchangeability further by standardising cloud communications. Read more
