Hardware Solutions to Start—and Fast-Track—IoT Development

Telemetry and machine-to-machine communication have evolved from custom, purpose-built solutions into a new generation of Internet of Things products that broker data to multiple clouds. Michael Finegan focuses on public vs. private networks and how to create intelligent end-node and gateway solutions using embedded cellular and long range RF systems. Learn when you should use a pre-certified device and when to move to a custom embedded module. Michael shares how to prototype solutions using ARM’s mbed (crowdsourced) browser-based compiler and how to move into production using cloud-based device management. He explores ways to employ applications and scripts to process data on the edge of the network so devices create dynamically actionable data instead of merely publishing data to a cloud-based service for later usage. Take away a new appreciation for how software, hardware, and communication must play together in harmony for IoT systems to deliver on their requirements and customer expectations.
