THE INTERNET OF THINGS SUPPLEMENT SPEEDING THE IMPLEMENTATION OF IOT BASED DESIGNS M
ouser Electronics is now stocking the IoT
Development Kit (IDK) from ON Semiconductor. Combining hardware and software elements to enable rapid implementation of smart and connected cloud- based applications, ON Semiconductor’s IoT Development Kit provides engineers with all of the building blocks needed to speed the evaluation, design and implementation of medical-, home- and industrial-based IoT designs. The IDK is a modular, easy-to-use platform that offers designers a portfolio of power- efficient semiconductors that includes sensors, power
management, connectivity, processors and actuators. The Kit features a Wi-Fi-
enabled baseboard (BB-GEVK: IoT Development Kit Base Board) that incorporates ON Semi’s NCS36510 system-on-chip (SoC), a low-power-optimized 32-bit ARM Cortex-M3 core that runs the ARM mbed operating system. A wide selection of different modules or daughter cards can then be attached to the baseboard to provide various types of functionality based on design need. Along with the hardware, the ON Semiconductor IDK also includes a software development framework that
encompasses the embedded operating system, drivers, APIs for hardware shields (where each device has its own API, for a total of 21 APIs), a graphical user interface (GUI) and sample applications code.

JOINT SOLUTION FOR IOT SECURITY
Rohde & Schwarz Cybersecurity and Arkessa, have announced the launch of a joint multi-level IoT platform solution. It unlocks the full potential of IoT by enabling secure interactions across digital ecosystems of devices, people and systems. The Internet of Things (IoT)
SIMPLE CONFORMANCE TESTING FOR LTE DEPLOYMENTS
A Conformance Test System, which enables simple and cost-effective RF and Protocol conformance tests of 3GPP-compliant LTE mobile terminals in one simple package has been introduced by Anritsu. The ME7800L system is a natural evolution from the ME7873LA (RF) and ME7834LA (Protocol) models, providing a new concept in 3GPP device certification testing. The widespread deployment of LTE modules and terminals is driving new needs on the market:
manufacturers looking for a reduction of time and cost of their regression tests, or looking for a low cost route to the conformance test of their mid-range products; and operators looking for a cost-effective test system incorporating just the key required test functions. The ME7800L Simple Conformance Test System is the solution to these new needs. As the launch and deployment of Internet of
Things (IoT) ramps up, there is also a need for a lower cost route to device/module certification, matching the target costs of devices and development. Such a solution is enabled by having a capability and test coverage that is optimized for such IoT certification requirements. The ME7800L offers cost-effective LTE RF and
Protocol conformance testing, incorporating all the hardware and software for LTE basic function tests in one convenient package. Both RF and Protocol conformance tests can be run simultaneously, while the RF conformance tests support TRx, performance, and RRM tests. The ME7800L is a GCF/PTCRB-approved conformance test system following 3GPP standards.

CONNECTORS DESIGNED FOR LED LIGHTING STRIPS
The Internet of Things (IoT) is now very much a reality, with new applications appearing daily – from wearable devices to city-wide traffic management systems. It is also giving us better control in simpler applications as well, with lighting systems being a prime example. Modern installations increasingly use LED lighting technology – LEDs were projected to have had 39% of the global lighting market share by 2015, according to Statista. LED luminaires operate from low
voltage DC supplies, rather than AC mains, so they must be fed from an
AC/DC power adaptor, usually known as a driver. Today, some of these drivers have become smart, and can be connected to lighting industry standard networks such as DALI (Digital Addressable Lighting Interface). Retail applications such as point of sale displays are realising controllable LED lighting benefits, with implementations using flexible LED lighting strips. Key to their success is easy installation and reliability – and the choice of electrical connector is crucial. GCT’s new surface mount wire trap connectors, for example, are
/ ELECTRONICS
designed specifically for LED lighting strip applications. Engineers can choose either a 2.4mm or a 4.0mm pitch, depending on space constraints and current rating requirements. These options, together with a choice of 1, 2 or 3 contacts, allow an efficient, compact and unobtrusive design. The natural LCP insulating material provides a discrete, aesthetic match to lighting strip PCB colours. Light absorption and shadowing is reduced, with minimal likelihood of light reflections where white PCBs are used.

continues to expand rapidly and poses significant network connectivity and security risks. The joint solution offers customers a single platform for managing the security and connectivity of all IoT operations. The service provides three distinct advantages: Customers can manage global IoT deployment scenarios via a single dashboard, gain full – packet by packet – visibility of IoT network traffic and proactively protect IoT networks with advanced OT & IT firewalling functions. Applications for this IoT solution range from connected vending machines, connected vehicles to critical infrastructure and mobile wireless access points.

GETTING STARTED
Real-Time Innovations (RTI) has launched a “Getting Started” programme with a series of step-by- step video tutorials, whitepapers, and technical documentation. It simplifies the process of understanding the IIoT and deploying RTI Connext DDS. The programme is a web and email- based offering that provides developers with the hands-on guidance required to implement RTI Connext DDS into robust IIoT systems. It targets first- time users of the RTI product suite. On the website, developers find a selection of technical content which is geared towards their needs including: step- by-step video tutorials for installation, Hello World, and debugging; whitepapers; eLearning videos; and more, so developers can successfully leverage Connext DDS in building their own IIoT applications. Additional eBooks, on-demand webinars, and a set of tutorials from the RTI Developer Blog provide the technical information necessary to guide developers through deploying RTI Connext DDS.
