Fleet Space – the Australian startup looking to develop a global IoT nanosatellite constellation – has secured $26.4m (USD) of additional funding. The Series B capital raise – which gives a $126 million valuation for the company – was led by existing investors Artesian Venture Partners, Blackbird Ventures, Grok, and Horizons Ventures. New investors included Alumni Ventures, Hostplus, the South Australian ...
The first PSA-certified development kit from Arrow Electronics is the PSoC 64 IoT Security Workshop development kit. Jointly developed with Infineon, it is designed to support developers meet compliance with emerging IoT legislation, including NIST 8259A and EN 303 645. Included in the kit are the Infineon PSoC 64 Secure AWS IoT Pioneer kit, Arrow PSoC 6 IoT sensor shield, Shield2Go ...
Jörg Köpp, of Rohde & Schwarz, provides an overview of the latest 3GPP standardisation from 5G NR Light to NB-IoT over satellite. Recently the cellular IoT (C-IoT) ecosystem, and especially the 3GPP standardisation, has focused on enabling the massive machine type communication (mMTC) market for applications such as water metering, cow monitoring, smart parking or asset tracking. The base technologies narrowband ...
Rohm has created a battery charge IC for small low-powered products such as wireless ear buds and smart displays – its package is only 400μm tall. Called BD71631QWZ, it is a general purpose linear chip that can be powered from 2.9 to 5.5V and be resistor-programmed to deliver from 2 to 4.7V. “In recent years the need for safer, higher density rechargeable ...
NXP has announced the first processors of its i.MX 9 family, originally announced in March, with some including its first Arm ‘Ethos-U65’ neural network processor (dubbed a ‘microNPU’), with added security for artificial intelligence at the edge. “These attributes enable developers to address areas from voice-assisted smart home and building systems, to low-power industrial gateways and automotive driver monitoring systems,” ...
Matt Lundberg compares Intel’s Tiger Lake and Elkhart Lake architectures and looks ahead to 10nm processing. After the trials and tribulations of the past two years 2014 may seem a long time ago, but in general terms seven years is not a significant amount of time. In the world of computing, however, in particular that of computer chips, with every ...
Texas Instruments has introduced an IC to mediate between a power rail, a load and a back-up supercapacitor. All the time sufficient voltage is available at the input, the input is connected directly (with no regulation) to the output to feed the load and a buck converter keeps the capacitor charged. Data sheet typical application 2 – scroll down for a ...
UK electric vehicle charge-point provider InstaVolt has picked Eseye cellular IoT technology for its UK charger network. Eseye is a service-provider that can, automatically over-the-air, swap between network operators for IoT nodes that communicate over cellular networks. Its service works with special SIM card, dubbed ‘AnyNet+ eSIM’, and is built on the eUICC standard for network operator swapping. Pod Point, Shell ...
