In a LoRaWAN network, there are sometimes many different Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices that require regular maintenance. One issue here, for example, is the installation of new firmware. An important requirement may be to be able to perform this process remotely. LoRaWAN provides an efficient and secure method for this using multicast messages.

It all started in 2002, when Prof. Dr.-Ing. Axel Sikora founded the Steinbeis Transfer Center (stzedn) for Design and Networking. This was followed in 2005 by the Steinbeis Research Institute for Wireless Communication (sfidk) and in 2007 by the Steinbeis Innovation Center for Embedded Design and Networking (sizedn). STACKFORCE took over the implementation of individual customer projects and research could be continued within the research institute.

STACKFORCE participated in the CAREER recruiting fair at Offenburg University of Applied Sciences to meet talented students and young professionals. Our team had great conversations about job opportunities and internships in the field of IoT and embedded software.

Maximum flexibility for your IoT solution: A Multi-Protocol Stack allows multiple wireless technologies like LoRaWAN®, mioty® and Wireless M-Bus (OMS®) to run in parallel on a single device. Learn how you can benefit from seamless integration, dynamic switching, and extended coverage with a future-proof Multi Protocol Solution.

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.

STACKFORCE participated in the mioty® PlugFest 2022 to test the interoperability of its mioty® Stack with partner solutions. The event provided valuable insights into the development of mioty-based IoT applications and offered an excellent opportunity for networking and collaboration.

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.

After an intensive development phase, we can now present our Wired M-Bus Stack for meter, which complements the Wireless M-Bus offering with a high-performance, wired solution. The stack enables remote reading of water, electricity, gas or heat meters as well as data collection and transmission of sensor values in a wired M-Bus network. A classic application example is remote meter reading in properties where many meters are installed comparatively close to each other.
