Enquiry for a smart waste container We have already developed many antennas for metal containers on GSM, UMTS, NB-IoT, LTE-M, LoRaWAN and Sigfox. For us the radio technology does not make a big difference. The akorIoT SensPRO is already a reference design for such a smart bin. Request for the smart waste bin Hi Harald, […]
akorIoT is a portmanteau word from “akor” and “IoT“. “Akor” is the ancient Celtic word for “open”. The goal of the akorIoT SensPRO was to create an open platform similar to the idea of a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC). As with a PLC the programmability, storage of the program in memory and the execution of […]
NB-IoT reference design in credit card size including PCB track antenna The wireless IoT market is crying for small mobile devices transmitting for years from tiny batteries. With akorIoT Nano we developed the next open design. “akor” is the Proto-Celtic word for “open”. With placing the order for akorIoT Nano you get the schematic diagrams, […]
NB-IoT module on Arduino shield – text strings to USB Any akorIoT radio adapter consists of a cellular (NB-IoT module or other cellular module), a GNSS module and four sensors. In addition there is a SIM card. In summary there are seven serial interfaces to test. Our test software has 250 lines and two “include […]
Date: Starts June 23 2017 at 8.00am / Ends June 24 2017 at 4.30pm Venue: @ hub:raum Winterfeldtstraße 21 10781 Berlin There will be an NB-IoT Hackathon in Berlin, Germany. Developers and start-ups are being called to disrupt today’s IoT landscape by creating services & solutions based on the NB-IoT technology. NB-IoT stands out due […]
The idea for the NB-IoT shield with Arduino header was conceived in summer 2016. We then produced the first version of the NB-IoT shield at the M2M Summit in September 2016. The second generation was shown to readers of my IoT/M2M Cookbook in our end of the year mailing and it has proved extremely popular; we […]
Many IoT / M2M Cookbook customers asked me for an evaluation kit within the last two years. I launched the first version during M2M Summit in September 2016. In February 2017 the multicellular version came true. The working name is HARduino because it has an Arduino R3 compatible UART interface. HARALD – ALD + duino […]
Pigeons don’t tweet, they make cooing noises. They don’t wear backpacks either. Usually. Well, say hello to the new breed of backpack wearing, tweeting pigeons that might just save lives. If you live in a city there’s a good chance you’ll be sharing it most days with a large number of pigeons. And generally […]
New GSM / GPS / Bluetooth module adapter for STM32 Nucleo, Arduino, Intel Galileo plus compatible PCBs Your ideas? Your wishes? Your recommendation? Your advice? I will listen to you. Before I started to write the IoT / M2M Cookbook I asked business friends what they would like to pay for such a book. A […]
The starting point of the book was a three day training about wireless modules for my customers in May 2012. In spring 2014 the first version of the book was published. The 53 pages of this early edition raised to 93 pages in format DIN A4. Last days an old business contact helped with an […]
