The Internet of Things (IoT) has as its basic concept to connect many different devices via the Internet so that data exchange can take place. Due to increasing automatization, networked devices are already being used in all sectors. They can be found in industry, agriculture, healthcare, private households and many other areas. What role does embedded software play here and what challenges must be mastered in software development?

Flexibility and quick reaction are key elements for modern and efficient IoT networks. Depending on infrastructure conditions and network coverage, one technology is not enough to run an IoT network efficiently. So, another solution is needed! Within a multi-stack, several communication technologies are combined for wireless data transmission. In this way, stacks can be selected to suit the use case. Once set up, the various protocols can be individually controlled during operation.

Nothing is changing as fast as digitilization. Every day, new "smart" devices are introduced to the market that, once integrated into the IoT network, have to share the existing radio networks with many devices. Especially in metropolitan areas, this leads to increasing problems due to interference and the resulting loss of data.

To kick off the new week, we're off to Bavaria, more specifically to the Fraunhofer Research Campus in Waischenfeld, as the mioty® PlugFest is taking place there on Monday and Tuesday (September 19-20). CEO David Rahusen will be attending the event together with our Team Manager R&D on behalf of STACKFORCE.

The mioty® Stack can be used as a flexible solution to meet your IoT use case needs. In part 1 of the article, we looked at the mioty® Stack features, the standards and the stack offering. In Part 2 of our article, we focus on the hardware that can be used to enable devices to communicate with mioty® and the product certification options that play a supporting role for product deployment.

You have already dealt with the mioty® technology and would like to find out whether the mioty® Stack fits to you and your products? The mioty® Protocol Stack is a highly efficient and especially robust solution for both Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWAN) and concentrated industrial networks. Learn more about the stack features, implemented standards and the stack package in the article.

mioty® brings a breath of fresh air to the long-established LPWAN landscape. The young technology uses a promising approach that ensures robust data transmission even under difficult conditions. Using the unique Telegram Splitting technology, information is transmitted effortlessly even in dense data crowds. Thus, mioty® has the potential to take a leading role in the market of modern (I)IoT wireless technologies in the future.

The agriculture sector is increasingly engaged in digitizing processes that are cumbersome and time-consuming to implement manually. In our use case, we focused on Smart Dairy Farming. In our video, we show how digitization can work in agriculture and how exactly Protocol Stacks from STACKFORCE can support this. The use case illustrates the benefits for the end user of networking devices on the farm.

We look back on a successful participation at embedded world 2022. Together with other members, STACKFORCE represented the mioty® Alliance at mioty's own booth and presented its own solutions such as the mioty® Protocol Stack as Single or multi-Stack and the Wireless M-Bus-to-LPWAN Bridge.

The semiconductor shortage is currently being felt in many industries. However, opinions vary widely on the duration of the existing problem. Read the article to learn how to add IoT connectivity to your devices despite the chip shortage.
