IoT in business: the impact and evolution of GSS Analytix’s Pollobot
IoT is significantly altering the business landscape across multiple industries with agriculture being a prime use-case. Real-time data solutions are increasingly being used for decision-making and an example of such an innovation is one being trailed by GSS Analytix’s called…
Programmable integrated circuitry: the winning choice for IoT design
Programmable integrated circuits are small electronic components constructed in such a way that a designer can configure them to perform a specific function. These programmable logic devices range in complexity from a few hundred to tens of thousands of equivalent…
Is passing coexistence testing always good?
The growth of wireless electronics continues in several important ways. While this is good to the extent that new applications contribute to human flourishing, the competition for bandwidth on the electromagnetic spectrum becomes more challenging with every passing minute. Wireless…
Wireless SoCs for connected health devices
The healthcare industry has been adopting greater use of digital technology over the last couple of decades. The COVID-19 pandemic helped accelerate this evolution. The remote access to healthcare necessitated by the pandemic highlighted several other benefits, such as more…
How mioty enables robust, scalable IoT and smart city infrastructure
As the number of IoT sensors and applications are growing, the unlicensed sub-GHz bands are starting to get crowded, demanding reliable, scalable technologies that can coexist. The relatively new mioty LPWAN (Low Power Wide Area Network) wireless technology addresses these…
Why Bluetooth Mesh 1.1 makes sense for Smart Lighting
Traditionally, artificial lighting was used solely to illuminate the darkened interior of a building. While this will always be its primary function, the requirement to make buildings ‘smart’ has resulted in lighting being reimagined so that it is used more…
Practical approaches to optimising power and security in Bluetooth low energy medical devices
For the healthcare industry, apart from improved hygiene, reduced bacterial spread, and simpler logistics, the concept of connected, disposable medical devices will make it possible to offer safer, more cost-efficient medical devices to a broader population, as exemplified by the…
Transforming your next IoT device with an ASIC
Innovations in semiconductor technology are driving a transformation in IoT devices. Cutting-edge chip technology enables smaller, more powerful, energy efficient IoT solutions. In particular, application specific integrated circuits (ASICs) are key to revolutionising the IoT industry because they can be…
The challenge of future-proofing IoT devices in healthcare
As the IoT enters into increasingly mission-critical applications, the need to guarantee the availability of service also increases. For example, a faulty or unavailable temperature sensor in a chemical manufacturing application could allow a manufacturing process violation that ruins an…
