Routers Serve IoT Connectivity and 5G Needs
Digi International has launched several cellular routers and extenders. The Digi TX54 (shown) and Digi TX64 comprise the launch of its TX line of transportation and intelligent traffic system routers, while the Digi EX12 cellular extender joins the Digi EX15 in supporting indoor, enterprise use cases, particularly in signage, retail and food service markets.
IoT Monitoring System for Commercial Fridges
IoT implementations can take many shapes and forms. Learn how these four Camosun College students developed a system to monitor all the refrigeration units in a commercial kitchen simultaneously. The system uses Microchip PIC MCU-based monitoring units and wireless communication leveraging the LoRa wireless protocol.
IoT Smart Energy System Leverages LoRaWAN
Semtech has announced that Vision Metering has incorporated Semtech’s LoRa devices and the LoRaWAN protocol into its line of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI)-based smart electric meters and meter interface units for water and gas meters. Vision’s LoRa-based applications enable the upgrade of legacy metering solutions to fixed, long range AMI, for hourly or daily data transfer over LoRaWAN networks for efficient utility management and billing.
