Conexio Technologies' Stratus is an open source LTE-M/NB-IoT Cellular-IoT development kit based around Nordic Semi nRF9160. Stratus can charge battery from solar power & comes with 500 MB global data plan. Stratus will be available on Crowd Supply.
Arduino Pro adds Portenta H7 Lite, a stripped down version of Portenta H7, without the high resolution video interface and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth features. H7 Lite costs $31 less than H7, and is aimed at more affordable IoT and Industry 4.0 solutions.
Espressif has announced a new RISC-V SoC called ESP32-H2 with IEEE 802.15.4 (Thread & Zigbee) and BLE 5.2 capabilities. The product is aimed at Smart Home and IoT applications.
Nordic Semiconductor's nRF9160 is a low power LTE-M and NB-IoT wireless modem available in a small footprint System-in-Package and is targeted for Cellular IoT applications.
Arduino released a new microcontroller board called Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect based on the Raspberry Pi RP2040. The board adds Wi-Fi and Bluetooth BLE 5 capabilities, and is specifically designed for Internet of Things (IoT) applications.
Arduino Pro has released a remote monitoring and control solution called Arduino Edge control. The board features uBlox Nina B306 BLE 5 module and two Arduino MKR expansion slots.
Arduino Pro adds Portenta Machine Control, a new industrial control unit based on Portenta H7 design. It is a DIN rail compatible, fully-centralized and low power unit that can be programmed via the Arduino framework.
Espresssif announced their new Wi-Fi 6 and BLE 5 System-on-Chip based on RISC-V CPU core. The Wi-Fi radio is backward compatible and targets low power Internet of Things (IoT) applications.
