Programmable IoT Gateway Modems

IoT gateways

IoT gateways

An IoT gateway is either a physical device or a software that connects the intelligent devices, controller, and sensors to the cloud. Data being to or from the cloud passes through the gateway. The gate is also referred to as a control tier. In some IoT networks, some sensors generate thousands of data points per second. In such networks the IoT gateway can be used as a preprocess the data locally (at the edge) before it is sent to the cloud. This minimizes the volume of data to be forwarded to the cloud which substantially reduces the response time and transmission costs.
IoT gateways also provide additional security for the network and the data it transports. By virtue of managing information flowing in both directions, it can protect the data from going to the cloud from leaks. It also protects IoT devices from being compromised by malicious outside attacks.

Programmable IoT gateways

Typical IoT gateways just send raw streams of data among the connected components through wireless or physical networks. They could also translate the information into a format that both the back-end servers and analytical application can understand.
Programmable IoT gateways, on the other hand, are able to analyze high-volumes of data while highlighting information deemed very relevant by the user. Users can also program them to send alerts when certain thresholds are exceeded. Their ability to offer data filtering decreases costs that would have otherwise been incurred in network traffic.
There are numerous programmable gateways in the market. They include:

The FX30

The FX30 is a product of Sierra wireless. Its small and rugged programmable 3G/4G cellular gateway. It offers an integrated and secure embedded application environment that is integrated with the cloud. It enables swift, scalable and global deployments of IoT. Its Linux based programming environment makes it highly programmable. It’s 3G compatible enabling you to reach the global 3G/2G market with just a single product.

The GL8200 modem

The GL8200 is also a product of Sierra Wireless. It’s one of the world’s smallest ready-to-go cellular modems. It plugs into any IoT system and provides both 2G and 3G connectivity. It is designed to operate in harsh conditions. The GL8200 connects to the Airvantage IoT platform, this platform enables you to create deploy and manage your wireless IoT solutions.
There many vendors with large products portfolios when it comes programmable IoT gateways modems. You just have to find that which best matches your IoT applications.

Little Know more about Brush-less Motors

Image
Brushless motors Brushless differs from conventional dc motors in the sense that it does not have brushes. Commutation is done using electronic drives to feed power to the stator windings. They consist of a rotor which is in the form of a permanent magnet and a stator that is in the form of polyphase armature windings. A  brushless DC motor  can be constructed in two ways; one is by placing the rotor outside the core and the other is by placing the rotor inside the core. How a brushless motor works Brushless motors are driven by electronic drives that  switch  the supply voltage between the stator windings while the rotor turns. There is a transducer that monitors the position of the rotor as it turns and conveys the information to an electronic controller. The controller then decides which stator winding to be energized based on the position of the rotor. Electronic drives are made up of two transistors each phase which is run by a microprocessor. T...

LED Modules: Manufacturer,Types and Application

Image
LED Modules Light-emitting diodes (LED) modules are LED self-contained devices that are designed to either function on its own or to plug into a compatible unit. These modules are mostly used in the development of both energy-efficient and portable lighting.  An LED contains several LED bulbs that are connected to a fixture that contains a battery or an alternative power supply which powers all the bulbs contained therein. LED modules can either emit white light or emit different colours based on the material they are made of. They are prominently used for advertising and signages but could as well be used for other purposes due to their versatility. Types of LED modules There are a variety of LED modules available in the market. There no specific parameters that can be used to categorize LED modules . They can be categorized in terms of efficiency, form, CCT, colour among others. Some of the common ones used in signage and advertising include; Side LED mod...

Block-chain: A Complete Beginners Guide | Block Chain Technology

Image
Blockchain technology Blockchain technology is barely three decades old, but it has completely changed global money transfer as we know it. It was first conceived in 1991 by a group of researchers who originally intended it to be used to timestamp digital documents to make it impossible to tamper with them. This concept was first put into actual use in 2009 by Satoshi Takamoto to create Bitcoin. Bitcoin has since spurred the adoption of  blockchain technology  for cryptocurrency, medical records, and land records among others.  What is blockchain? A blockchain is a network of computers that share a digital ledger that is duplicated and distributed across all participants in the network (nodes). That is to say that each node on the network has a duplicate copy of the ledger. The digital ledger keeps a chain of transactions since the creation of the network. The chain of transactions keeps growing as new blocks of transactions are approved and then added along....
