You would like to put the contents of your studies into practice and earn money on the side? Then a student job is just the right thing for you. In Offenburg we currently offer two vacancies near the university. If programming is your passion, you are interested in embedded software and you already have some experience in C, we are looking forward to getting to know you!

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.

The recruiting exhibition CAREER on the campus of the Offenburg University of Applied Sciences is the ideal place to recruit new talents for the STACKFORCE team. Sally Rahusen, Head of Finance & HR, was in charge of our booth on site and exchanged ideas with numerous students.

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.
