Wireless mesh network module maker NeoCortec, is to offering licenses for its NeoMesh wireless mesh networking protocol and software stack. “Our primary focus remains the manufacturing and sale of our low-power wireless sensor modules,” said NeoCortec CEO Thomas Steen Halkier. “However, by introducing a licensing model for our software stack, customers can implement our software in their designs to gain ...
NeoCortec and Embit revealed bi-directional wireless mesh networking using LoRa modulation at Electronica in Munich yesterday. “The various wireless connectivity technologies all exist because they all address different challenges,” said NeoCortec CEO Thomas Steen Halkier. “We expect this development to unlock many wireless networking opportunities in smart buildings and other applications.” NeoCortec contribution here is a proprietary protocol stack for ...
Panasonic has announced a demo kit for Wirepas mesh networking, builts around its PAN1780 Bluetooth 5 LE module, with has a Nordic Semi’s nRF52840 radio IC and an antenna. IoT software company Symbiotech, which already has Wirepas Mesh products, has provided the kit’s software, and Panasonic earlier teamed up with Wirepas to get the mesh network stack onto its module. ...
Nordic Semiconductor has announced an SoCs for Bluetooth Low Energy, LE Audio, Bluetooth mesh, Thread and Matter with “multiple Arm Cortex-M33 processors, clocked up to 320MHz” and “multiple RISC-V coprocessors”, it said. Part of a forthcoming nRF54 series, the new IC, nRF54H20, will be fabricated on GlobalFoundries’ 22FDX process and “capable of supporting Bluetooth 5.4 and future Bluetooth specifications, plus ...
At Electronica 2022 in Munich our Group Editor Clive Couldwell caught up with NeoCortec, the ultra low power wireless connectivity Danish company, and Pickering, the UK and Czech Single-in-Line (SIL) reed relay specialists. Thomas Steen Halkier, the CEO of NeoCortec, shares his thoughts on wireless mesh networking, with NeoMesh being its networking offering for smart building applications, for example fire-detection ...
Silicon Labs has added a second generation of wireless Gecko processors, with baked in security hardware. Called Wireless Gecko platform, Series 2, the products are based around Arm’s Cortex-M33, in 80MHz form, that includes TrustZone virtualisation hardware to separate secure and non-secure software. “Series 2 improves multiple design elements, including wireless performance, software reuse, RF communication reliability and enhanced security to speed ...
Male Japanese tree frogs communicate with sound, using an internally orchestrated system that lets information get through while also permitting collective choruses and time to rest, according to researchers from Osaka University and University of Tsukuba, and borrowing the technique could reduce packet collisions and power consumption in data networks. The team listened to calling patterns between three frogs over ...
Toshiba wasn’t at LuxLive to talk about its high CRI leds, but it was in the Bluetooth cluster to promote Bluetooth Mesh and the hardware and software it is offering for Mesh. Bluetooth Mesh does not involve setting up a connection between two devices, but uses a modified version of the Bluetooth ‘advertising’ profile. It will run on Bluetooth 4.2 ...
With the official release of Bluetooth mesh networking, Silicon Labs is implementing it on existing silicon with three software packages. Bluetooth mesh is a protocol that will run on top of any Bluetooth 4.0 device. It does not need Bluetooth 5 hardware, Silicon Labs marketing manager Mikko Savolainen told Electronics Weekly. It relies completely on Bluetooth Low Energy ‘advertising’ messages, defining what ...
