Contec partners with TruWeather and Vantiq for Industry 4.0 weather solutions

Contec Americas has announced apartnership with TruWeather Solutions and Vantiq to fast-track the development of Industry 4.0 weather solutions.  The partnership will be showcased at the Embedded World conference in Austin where the companies will demonstrate TruWeather’s advanced weather solution for drone operations using Vantiq’s Intelligent IoT platform running on Contec’s scalable IoT hardware.

TruWeather deploys a robust network of weather sensors designed to gather high-density, low-altitude wind and weather data in areas where none currently exists. Our sensors provide crucial weather data for safety applications, with each data point traceable through a chain of custody, encrypted and time-stamped to meet ASTM weather standards for drone operations,” said Don Berchoff, the CEO and founder of TruWeather Solutions. “By partnering with Contec and Vantiq, we can quickly move from concept to implementation, offering a flexible, scalable and cost-effective Industry 4.0 solution.”

TruWeather is aiming to change the weather industry by integrating its solution with Vantiq’s IoT platform to deliver precise, real-time weather data tailored for Industry 4.0 applications. Vantiq’s platform is critical to reducing time-to-market by enabling rapid prototyping, streamlining the transition from prototype to production-quality applications. Contec’s robust and comprehensive IoT system forms the backbone of the solution delivered by TruWeather; ensuring flexible, scalable and purpose-built IoT capabilities.

“Speed is critical in today’s market,” said Brad Jens, the EVP of Sales and Marketing at Contec. “By collaborating with Vantiq and TruWeather, we’ve built a streamlined process that allows us to move quickly from idea to deployment. Together, we’re able to solve complex problems and deliver production-ready solutions faster than ever before.”

Semtech launches LoRaWAN Hub Kit for SMB and smart home solutions

Semtech Corporation has announced availability of its one-channel LoRaWAN hub reference design and evaluation kit targeting smaller scale network deployments such as for SMB/SME and smart home applications.

Recent insights from Omdia predict LoRaWAN to have the greatest annual growth, at 30% over the 2023–30 forecast period. “It is a comparatively recent technology finding a niche in longer-distance, lower-power applications like irrigation systems and security sensors for property perimeters. As a sub-GHz protocol, it also has advantages in multi-unit installations. It penetrates glass, steel and concrete easily, giving it a significant advantage,” said Edward Wilford, the senior research director at Omdia. “The cost effectiveness of Semtech’s one-channel hub aligns well with such smaller-scale applications.”

Olivier Beaujard, a board member, officer of the board and chairman of regulatory affairs for the LoRa Alliance, the senior director at LoRa ecosystem for Semtech, said, “LoRaWAN continues to be a transformative industry catalyst for a more sustainable future. Supported by a thriving LoRaWAN ecosystem, Semtech’s one-channel hub reference design unlocks new use cases and opportunities for adoption in new markets that stand to benefit from LoRa’s long-range, low-power capabilities.”

About LoRaWAN one-channel hub reference design and evaluation kit

The one-channel hub gateway evaluation kit (LRWHHUB1EVK1A) provides a turnkey solution for low cost, basic access LoRaWAN network connectivity. Compatible with several Semtech LoRa sub-GHz transceivers, the reference design includes a low-cost Espressif MCU and LCD display for simple user operation.

– Compatible LoRa ICs: SX1261, SX1262, LR1110, LR1121
– Evaluation kit includes PCBs and antenna
