ANT the coin cell battery powered WSN (wireless sensor network) – Free webinar
ANT is a low-power wireless networking protocol. It has the same audience like Bluetooth Low Energy. In contrast to Bluetooth LE the ANT protocol allows full mesh network topology. Furtermore it is already widespread in sports and healthcare. The ANT alliance has more than 300 members (e.g. Adidas, Garmin or Timex). The member no. 300 was the manufacturer of phones, Sony Ericsson.

M2M module: Embedded Linux, ARM9, GPRS module, USB and further Interfaces
Today I would like to show and to talk about a new Linux based application for wireless M2M. The PCB is already in use in several projects. Based on its enclosure it can be used as a final product for end users. It supports a lot of interfaces like SD card / MMC card, GPIO Pins , AD / DA converter, UARTs, USB Device, USB Host, I2C, SPI and JTAG. At GPIO you will find PMW (Pulse Wide Modulation), counters and other intelligent channels.
IPv6: 340.282.366.920.938.463.463.374.607.431.768.211.456 IP addresses
IPv6 offers 128 bit address space. Theoretically there are 340.282.366.920.938.463.463,374.607.431.768.211.456 addresses available. This means there are approximately 6.67 * 10^27 IPv6 addresses per square meter on our planet.

Android, Linux, QNX, Symbian and Windows in M2M applications
I already started several projects on embedded Linux (GE863-Pro3 or UC864-G + BeagleBoard). One is for example a metering project for a customer in India. Development and manufacturing is provided by a business partner of mine in Germany. The next higher level is based on BeagleBoard http://www.beagleboard.org. The BeagleBoard is an open source single board […]
Is RFDP8 better than BlueTooth, ZigBee, WLAN and other protocols?
RF Digitals RFDP8 proprietary patent-pending frequency agility protocol operates in the internationally accepted 2.4 GHz band. The RFDP8s leading-edge advanced algorithm is not burdened by a heavy-weight stack as is BlueTooth, ZigBee, WLAN and other protocols, which are well suited for cross-manufacturer interoperability. The RFDP8 protocol is highly robust and effective where there is a […]
