Arrow Electronics has announced the introduction of a development board IoT (Internet of Things) offering a wide range of sensors and communication interfaces to enable easy connection to low-cost, low-power with the Cloud. The board SmartEverything Arrow reduces design cycles and development times, offering the user the ability to quickly connect to control devices via the Internet. The board uses the connectivity solution of the global cellular network SIGFOX to achieve access IoT.
Made in the form factor Arduino, The card contains a module Telit SIGFOX and a GPS antenna embedded purposes localization. It also uses the software Telit M2M device management to facilitate a fast and efficient connection of devices to the Cloud. SIGFOX uses a radio technology narrowband UNB (Ultra Narrow Band) for the connection of devices to a global network. The UNB requires very little energy and UNB devices operate on ISM bands available globally, requiring no license.
The card functions
Among the features of the card, proximity sensors, humidity, temperature and acceleration STMicroelectronics. Acceleration limits can be selected for step ± 2/4/8/16 g. The board has a low consumption TDK Bluetooth for short-range connections, which allows the setting and control from a smartphone, plus a tag NXP NFC with I2C serial interface for authentication. The card also includes a CPU SmartEverything USB 'Host orchestrator chip'Of Atmel based sull'ARM Cortex-M0 that handles all traffic between devices. The crypto-based authentication chip Atmel enables you to implement a comprehensive security algorithm SHA-256 hash with MAC (Message Authentication Code). Included are also finally to an antenna Dynaflex 868 MHz and the power management devices Linear Technology.
Arrow Electronics has developed the card SmartEverything in collaboration with selected suppliers of components and with specialists in designing Method2 and Cipierre Electronics in Italia. The card will be available early in the second quarter 2015.
