Understanding the IoT cloud and how it will change things

Understanding the IoT cloud and how it will change things

When first proposed, a “thing” on the newly named internet of things (IoT) was imagined as something that could be counted and these existed in relatively simple applications, now IoT is expanding into machine-to-machine (M2M) communication and applications such as manufacturing and power utilities, writes Martha Zemede. While automation is already important in manufacturing, IoT ...

SPICE up the IoT

SPICE up the IoT

IC designers have long understood the value of SPICE simulation for mixed signal and analogue analysis, but it is also being used to analyse digital circuits and could be a critical element of IoT node design, writes Gerhard Angst Design complexity can be addressed in a number of ways; often it is to break a ...

Connected vehicles are the first big IoT opportunity

Connected vehicles are the first big IoT opportunity

One day soon vehicles will communicate with traffic lights and road signs as well as other nearby vehicles, writes Thomas Hinz Vehicle-to-X (V2X) communications is one of the key technologies already available to enable autonomous or semi-autonomous driving. For example, if equipped with V2X, a car would know if another vehicle up ahead had slammed ...
