The Weightless SIG is partnering with the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI). In a move to consolidate the LPWAN space the Weightless SIG will offer its Weightless-N standards activities into the ETSI LTN initiative within TG28, ensuring that all those interested in UNB solutions are represented in a single forum. ETSI is a globally accepted …

Sigfox and Irish telecoms firm VT Networks have rolled out a long-range low data rate IoT network in less than eight months. The two companies expect to connect over a million devices by 2017. Remote nodes on Sigfox networks, which are low data rate and ultra-narrowband, are expected to run for over 10 years on …

Ireland is Sigfox-enabled for IoT

Orange has decided to use the IoT wireless technology, known as LoRa, to connect “smart city” deployments across France. This is one of the largest IoT connected city deployments to be announced and follows pilot testing in Grenoble of the LoRa wireless standard in long range wide-area networks. The LoRaWAN protocol, which is one of …

Californian start-up MicroCore Labs has announced an 8051 soft processor core, four of which will fit into 1227 LUTs on a Xilinx Artix-7 FPGA. The core is called MCL51. “Because it is based on a microsequencer, this four-core demonstration is even smaller than a single soft-core gate-based 8051,” the company founder, known simply as Edward, told Electronics …

Sundance Multiprocessor Technology Of Chesham has integrated Xilinx’s smallest Kintex UltraScale FPGA with its EMC2-family of embedded boards for the “OneBank” PC/104-compatible format. Sundance’s EMC2-family is a range of industrial-grade and deployment-ready PC/104 boards that feature either a Xilinx Zynq SoC or Xilinx Artix/Kintex FPGAs. The EMC2-KU35 is the latest member and has two banks …
