New IoT Technologies

I love new technologies that might benefit people’s products. We’ve supported development on these three nifty platforms:

• MicroPython, a platform for rapid development of IoT. We’re now using this for customerproducts.
• The LoPy, a low-cost LoRa module that can communicate several kilometers between sensors just operating on batteres using unlicensed RF bands. Also powered by MicroPython rapid development.
• ESP8266, a nano-cost WiFi module, also powered by MicroPython rapid development.

Other reasonably-priced technologies that we’re keeping our eye on are:

• Centimeter-accurate positioning of people or equipment.
• Technology for nanosecond-resolution timing between sensor nodes.
• Bio-sensors and other sensors for IoT products.
• Low-cost satellite technology for remote operations.
