Qualcomm Technologies is to integrate its Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/Thread combo system-on-a-chip (SoC), which features on-board compute processing for low-power AI workloads on industrial IoT applications, into STMicroelectronics’ STM32 family of microcontrollers (MCUs). The deal will expand to see other cellular IoT SoCs integrated, as well, and...
Embedded World 2024, Nuremberg: NXP Semiconductors has added two new multiprotocol wireless microcontroller units (MCUs) to its new MCX W series, with support for Matter, Thread, Zigbee, and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). The new MCX W72x is pitched as the first wireless MCU with...
The Z-Wave Alliance, in charge of developing local-area IoT technology Z-Wave, has released the Z-Wave source code to alliance members on open-source software development platform GitHub. Alongside, the alliance has said Members can now “shape the future” of the protocol under its (OS Work...
The Connectivity Standards Alliance (CSA) this week confirmed the release of the 1.0 launch-version of the new Matter connectivity specification for interoperability of IoT products, mainly in the smart home environment. This initial release will support various smart home products, including lighting and electrical,...
As US IoT chipmaker Silicon Labs opens the (virtual) doors to its third Works With event (September 12-14), and readies a rush of new product releases (coverage incoming), Enterprise IoT Insights caught up with Ross Sabolcik, the firm’s general manager for industrial and commercial,...
Nordic Semiconductor has expanded its low-power IoT hardware portfolio to include Wi-Fi 6 connectivity. The Norwegian outfit has debuted its first Wi-Fi chip, the nRF7002, which it describes as a “companion IC (integrated circuit)’ to go alongside its existing products, in order to add...
The war of Internet of Things (IoT) connections is here. Following years of trial and error to connect battery-based devices with Wi-Fi — the ubiquitous yet power-sucking internet access method preferred around the world — the market is finally embracing low-power radio internet protocols.
However,...
You could, perhaps, be forgiven for characterizing the situation with IoT protocols as semi-chaotic, with competing systems jostling for market share. In a way, it’s reminiscent of the Fieldbus wars, which went on from the late 1980s to about 2000.
Like any communication system, IoT...
