Keysight Technologies’ 5G Conformance Toolset is the first test solution to be approved for 5G New Radio (NR) device certification by PTCRB, a certification forum comprised of select leading cellular operators, accelerating commercial availability of 5G mobile devices across the ecosystem.

The nRF52840 dongle has been designed by Nordic Semiconductor as an ideal front-end, physical gateway for the nRF Connect for Desktop PC tool. It allows developers to immediately connect a PC to a wireless device. This further simplifies application design and product development process.

A microsite dedicated to RadioVerse technology from Analog Devices has been unveiled by Mouser Electronics. Combining hardware and software with robust documentation and technical support, Analog Devices’ RadioVerse design ecosystem simplifies the radio development process for a broad range of applications and markets.

Wait no longer. The much anticipated Uno WiFi Rev 2 from Arduino is on sale at Mouser Electronics. The first AVR-based, natively enabled Internet of Things (IoT) board from Arduino, the Uno WiFi Rev 2 board integrates an 8-bit microcontroller, Wi-Fi module, sensors, and hardware-based security in the familiar Uno Rev 3 form factor. The new board addresses the wireless connectivity and low power demands of the growing IoT market.

With the goal of making IoT sensing projects even easier to start, and more affordable, RS Components has introduced the latest UrsaLeo Pi development kit. By combining the Silicon Labs Thunderboard 2 sensor module with a Raspberry Pi development board, UrsaLeo Pi delivers all the functionality of the UrsaLeo UltraLite development kit at a lower price.

  The licensor of signal processing platforms and artificial intelligence processors for smarter, connected devices, CEVA, has announced that the latest release of its CEVA Deep Neural Network (CDNN) compiler supports the Open Neural Network Exchange (ONNX) format. 

Licensor of signal processing platforms and artificial intelligence processors, CEVA, has announced that Shanghai SiFlower Communication Technology (SiFlower), designer and supplier of Smart Home platforms, has licensed and deployed CEVA’s RivieraWaves 802.11ac WiFi IP in its latest System-on-Chip (SoC) targeting smart home access points. 

Availability of Microchip’s AVR microcontroller IoT (Internet of Things) development board for Google Cloud has been announced by distributor RS Components. This rapid development solution enables engineers to achieve the fast prototyping of cloud-connected devices within minutes.

Semtech has announced the Semtech Design Partner Program. The program streamlines the time-to-deployment for LoRa-based IoT solutions by connecting customers, system integrators and developers with experienced design services firms that understand LoRa devices and wireless radio frequency technology (LoRa Technology).

u‑blox has introduced the toolset comprising the u-track software and the C030-R410M application board. The toolset is a rapid-prototyping platform that lets product designers test and optimise the position accuracy and power consumption of wireless location tracking applications that use LTE-M and NB‑IoT cellular networks, as well as Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technology. The toolset targets product engineers working on battery powered applications such as sport, people and asset trackers.
