The application of edge computing in IoT enables data insights to be created quickly, cost-effectively and locally, thereby removing the delay and expense caused by communicating all data. Success in IoT stems from collecting information and then being able to act upon it to improve performance, enhance efficiency or cut…

IoT Antenna IoT antenna integration is fundamental to the performance of connected devices. Depending on the use case and device design, there are significant considerations to take into account when selecting antennas. These range from the obvious, such as whether to specify an embedded or external antenna, to the subtle, such…

Apple has released a beta version of Embedded Swift that notably works with Espressif ESP32-C6 wireless RISC-V microcontroller, and the company also built a Matter sample based on ESP-IDF and ESP-Matter SDKs. Embedded Swift is not limited to the ESP32-C6 and supports other microcontrollers from STMicro, Raspberry Pi, Nordic Semi,…

ISO 27001 is an international standard that specifies a management system that is intended to bring information security under explicit management control. For IoT companies, adherence to ISO 27001 isn’t just beneficial; it’s a crucial measure to safeguard their technologies and protect their business. ISO 27001 – Enhancing Security Measures…

Traditional farming has been, is, and will continue in the future to be a manual and labor-intensive industry. Farmers being confronted with a labor shortage, more stringent legislation, increasing global population and the declining numbers of farmers, forces them to look to new solutions. With technologies such as the Internet…

IoT is a fast-growing sector that is transforming businesses. However, its rapid growth means there are many connectivity technologies to play with, and sometimes it is hard to understand their differences and particularities. In this article, we will expand on the features of cellular narrowband IoT, or NB-IoT, and how…

The adoption of Edge computing is on the rise despite the COVID-19 pandemic having spurred fundamental disruption. Edge Computing enables real-time data processing at the edge, reducing the amount of traffic sent to the cloud and processing time for critical applications in healthcare such as remote health monitoring of patients, where…

The basic symbols of resistors, capacitors, and other components are pretty easy to remember and you can find them listed in many different places. The real concern comes with how to work with these symbols in your schematic in order to provide the most useful information. We’ll take a look…

Electronic devices saturate the modern world. Whether it is a device that silently monitors vitals or a smartphone with an endless stream of notifications, all contain a PCB circuit board at the heart of their design. Over the years, printed circuit board manufacturing has continued to grow to keep up…

The Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing our world, enhancing decision-making processes, operational efficiency, and cost-effectiveness by integrating smart devices to collect, analyze, and act upon data.
