Connected Devices and IoT

With our daily lives becoming increasingly digitized, internet of things product design and development will continue to transform how we live, work, learn and entertain ourselves. Check out what our connected devices expert believes will drive the IoT forward.

In honor of Bike to Work Day, we’re sharing this story about a cycling tracker, as well as getting some of our Cardinal Peak team together for a ride and breakfast burritos. Share the road!

As the internet of things becomes increasingly ubiquitous, organizations across industries are leveraging IoT solutions and cloud connectivity to realize the substantial value such solutions deliver to move businesses forward.

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.

Despite its many advantages, Bluetooth LE can present security challenges. Our engineer details what the security concerns are and how to secure BLE devices using randomized addresses.

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) is a wireless communication technology used for low power devices such as smartphones, wearables and IoT devices. Learn from our audio experts how the Generic Attribute Profile (GATT) and the Generic Access Profile (GAP) work together to allow BLE devices to communicate with each other.

Digital Contact Tracing and Exposure Notification apps provide a hands-on exploration of Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology, GAP & GATT. Our engineer compares multiple Linux BLE Sniffing Tools including Hcitool, Bluetoothctl, Hcidump and Gatttool.

FreeRTOS is a wonderful choice for a whole class of small embedded devices. Whether discussing its simplicity and ubiquity or its small size and open-source nature, the real-time operating system aspect is actually the least interesting thing about FreeRTOS.

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.
