Semtech LoRa ICs Tapped for

Smart Door Locks

Semtech has announced that New H3C Group (H3C), a provider of digital infrastructure and Internet of Things (IoT) products, has integrated Semtech’s LoRa devices and the LoRaWAN protocol into its new intelligent door lock applications to bring improved safety, efficiency and management to dorms and schools.

Wireless Gateway Links Up to Azure-Ready IoT Stack

Cloud of Things’ compact, Arm/Linux based “DeviceTone IoT Gateway” is equipped with MikroBus, LAN, GPIO, WiFi, LTE, NB-IoT, BLE Long Range and DECT ULE. Both the gateway and an MCU-based “Genie” edge node work with an Azure-certified DeviceTone IoT Suite.

Antenna Serves Wi-Fi 6 and

Wi-Fi 6E Needs

Linx Technologies has announced the ANT-W63WS3-SMA blade-style antenna for Wi-Fi 6 and 6 GHz Wi-Fi 6E applications. The “W63WS3” antenna expands Linx’s tri-band 2.4GHz/5GHz/ 6GHz offering following the US FCC vote and approval of the 6 GHz spectrum for Wi-Fi WLAN applications and launch of the Linx ANT-W63-FPC-UFL-100 antenna in April.

LoRa-Based Tracking System

Because every minute counts during search and rescue operations, technologies that narrow the search area are always welcome. Learn how three Camosun College students built a LoRa-based tracking system designed to aid search-and-rescue teams in locating lost or missing individuals. The system can narrow down the initial search area and give technicians a larger searching radius.

ESF Gains Qualification with

AWS IoT Core

Eurotech has announced the software qualification of the Eurotech Everyware Software Framework (ESF) with AWS IoT Core. Eurotech’s ESF allows field devices to be connected to AWS IoT Core by visually composing Edge applications. This provides a solid foundation for the rapid development and deployment of Eurotech IoT solutions on AWS, says Eurotech.
