With connected devices and the IoT becoming increasingly ubiquitous, connected device design and engineering is more important than ever — especially with the number of IoT devices set to increase exponentially in the near future. In this post, our experts detail power usage, security and software considerations involved in the IoT-connected device design and engineering process.

Our expert engineer highlights how variability can negatively impact the algorithms powering devices leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning in the real world.

What is Bluetooth Low Energy and What are the Advantages? The Bluetooth Low Energy (Bluetooth LE or BLE) communication protocol was introduced in the 2010s as a lower power consumption alternative to the original Bluetooth Basic Rate/Enhanced Data Rate (BR/EDR) protocol (also called classic Bluetooth).

LAFAYETTE, Colo. — Cardinal Peak, a leading provider of product engineering services, and Syntiant Corp., a deep learning chip technology company advancing AI pervasiveness in edge devices, today announced a design collaboration focused on providing customers with a turnkey solution to build innovative end-to-end audio and voice-enabled products.

Successful IoT testing ensures an optimal user experience, as well as efficient product design. Our expert engineer shares IoT testing challenges and considerations for connected devices, including hardware, software, security and cloud.

With the rise of connected devices, IoT testing has taken on increased importance. Our expert test engineer gives a real-world example of how to efficiently test IoT products, including augmenting manual testing by leveraging technology.

While an end-to-end IoT solution provider is often the fastest path to market, such solutions force IoT devices to be coupled to the external dependencies of a single provider. Our expert engineer highlights how tapping the expertise of a contract engineering company can decrease time to market without increasing staff during migration.

How is the software in my smart thermostat developed? In the worst-case scenario, deadlines, cost and competitive products force electrical engineers to shrink the printed circuit board (PCB) to fit within a predefined package. These postage stamp-sized boards bring a multitude of challenges for development. Learn how development printed circuit boards can help while reducing cost.
