IoT Edge-as-a-Service Solution Targets
Smart Buildings

Rigado has announced it has integrated its IoT edge infrastructure with Microsoft Azure Digital Twins to support deployment of Smart Workplace solutions. Commercial real estate operators are increasingly looking to develop Smart Workplace solutions for enhanced employee experiences and efficacy in the workplace. The joint solution already provides IoT data in technically advanced buildings like the Salesforce Tower (shown) in San Francisco.
Microsoft Azure Digital Twins is a new service that enables IoT service and solution providers to easily build their own applications for Smart Buildings and Smart Spaces. Rigado Cascade feeds into Azure Digital Twins providing connectivity to a wide variety of sensors and building systems. It also provides a secure and scalable edge computing platform at commercial IoT scale. In addition to Smart Buildings, such as Salesforce Tower, Rigado Cascade integration with Azure Digital Twins solutions can support a range of use cases, including smart hospitals, sporting venues, retail, warehouses and more.

Rigado Cascade enables the smart building manufacturer and integrator to quickly develop and deploy highly scalable architectures. Cascade Edge-as-a-Service is a secure edge computing platform that is well suited for Smart Building solutions that require local control and edge data processing. 

 
 

IoT Module Family Features Compact Form Factor

Telit has announced the xE310 family of miniature IoT modules. With initial models planned in LTE-M, NB-IoT and European 2G, the new form factor will enable Telit to meet the growing demand for ultra-small, high-performance modules for wearable medical devices, fitness trackers, industrial sensors, Smart Metering and other mass-production, massive deployment applications. Telit will start shipping xE310 modules in Q4 this year.
Telit claims the xE310 family is one of the smallest LGA form factors available in the market with a flexible perimeter footprint supporting various sizes from compact to smaller than 200 mm-squared. The xE310's 94 pads include spares to provide Telit the flexibility to quickly deliver support for additional features as technologies, applications and markets evolve. Spares can be used for modules supporting Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or enhanced location technologies---in addition to cellular---while maintaining compatibility with cellular only models. They can also be used for additional connections that may be required for new 5G-enabled features.

The architecture has been built on top of key open source projects and innovations out of the Eclipse Foundation and Apache Foundation. By bridging OT and IT, this open source-based architecture can help address the main aspects of managing an IoT infrastructure including connectivity, configuration and embedded application life cycle. The architecture can also aggregate real-time data streams from the edge, archive them or route them towards enterprise IT systems and analytics.
