IoT Development Platforms Gain TinyML Support

Nordic Semiconductor has announced that, together with design partner Edge Impulse, it has introduced TinyML support for both the nRF9160 DK (Development Kit) and the Nordic Thingy:91 multi-sensor cellular IoT prototyping platform. Following the introduction, both Nordic low power cellular IoT development tools are integrated into Edge Impulse’s “Edge Impulse Studio.”

Analyst: Cellular IoT Gateways Lead in 5G IoT Use Cases

IoT market research provider Berg Insight has released new findings about the market for cellular IoT gateways and routers. Close to 3.7 million cellular IoT gateways were shipped globally during 2020, at a total market value of approximately $1.01 billion.

Small 4G/5G Antenna Targets

High-Speed Designs

Antenova has announced “Allani” (part no SR4L069), a compact SMD antenna for the 4G and 5G cellular bands. This new antenna measures just 45.0mm x 10.0mm x 3.3mm. It achieves good efficiency with a short ground plane, making it a good choice for designs with relatively little space on the PCB for the antenna, says the company.

Building a COVID Test Drone – Part 1

In this two-part article series, Andrei details his CovidTestDrone project—a drone delivery system that allows individuals to receive a self-administered lower nasal swab COVID-19 test at home via a drone and then return the sample to the lab via the same drone after administering the swab. In Part 1, he describes the components, the connectivity and assisting applications for the project.

LoRa Gateway Boasts Serial-to-LoRa Adapter Node

Nexcom announced a LoRa wireless gateway from its Embux subsidiary, which has previously manufactured products such as its i.MX6-based 3.5-inch EBC3A1-1G Y0 SBC. Like the SBC, the new ELA-MG gateway runs Linux on the aging Cortex-A8 architecture, this time in the form of a Texas Instruments Sitara AM335x SoC.
