Compact Wireless IoT Nodes are Self-Powered

Advantech has announced the release of its latest LPWAN wireless, compact size, self-powered IoT sensor nodes: the WISE-2210 CT node and WISE-2211 wireless sensor node. Utilizing low-power, wide-area networks (LPWAN), these remote sensors offer both long-distance wireless data transmission and low-power consumption.

Mini-PCIe IoT Radio Targets Industrial Applications

Gateworks has released the second generation of its GW16122 IoT Radio for rugged and industrial applications. This next generation card features greatly improved output power through a 20dBm power amplifier, more storage space and a simplified design.

Prepaid Energy Metering Solution Uses Semtech’s LoRa Devices

Semtech has announced that Elmeasure and ClodPi Labs (ClodPi) have developed a new LoRa-based prepaid energy metering solution using Semtech’s LoRa devices and the LoRaWAN protocol. This new line of prepaid smart meters tracks and reports usage data in real time for precise billing and reduced energy waste in utility applications.

Datasheet: IoT Gateways

IoT gateways provide a critical link between sensors at the edge and the cloud. Even as the industry becomes less married to the term “gateway”, IoT gateway functionality is creeping into a variety of box-level embedded systems.

U-blox IIoT LTE-M Module Certified for SK Telecom’s Network

U‑blox has announced certification of its SARA‑R410M‑73B module for South Korea on SK Telecom’s LTE‑M cellular network. The module series will support a broad spectrum of IoT applications such as smart metering, telematics, asset and vehicle tracking and building automation.
