Embedded SIM (eSIM) Technology What is Embedded SIM (eSIM) Technology and how can it help with IoT Product Designs

Selecting the right communication medium is usually a very challenging part of the development of any IoT solution. In situations where range beyond that of Wi-Fi and Bluetooth is required, options are usually between the LPWAN technologies like LoRa, Sigfox, etc. but while these technologies come with Pro-IoT features like low power and long-range, they are saddled with…

HART's Multi-Drop Network Mode Introduction to HART – Highway Addressable Remote Transducer Communication Protocol

The benefits of getting two machines (or components within them), to talk to one another have been an obvious one to Industrial automation and control experts, way before the Internet of Things (IoT) became mainstream. The values in a temperature sensor at the heart of a crankshaft sending measurements to control the motor drive relay etc. was clear, and one of the…
