Rapid Deployment of Custom Edge Hardware for IoT

Industrial, vehicle, transportation networks, smart buildings, medical and point-of-service devices all need to integrate and communicate for control and monitoring purposes – this is the basis of Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications which is creating the IoT revolution.

Our expertise spans a range of key enabling disciplines.

Data-architecture driven design is increasingly accepted to be a vital methodology for sensor networks.

EU Cyber Resilience Act Compliance mandates a range of practical changes to traditional embedded/IoT design including this need for secure boot, OTA updating, threat modelling, encryption and much more.

Cloud-connected line-of-business assets  provide a constant connectivity and stream of data whose analysis may provide value to the enterprise as a whole. This is the “Internet-of-Things” in action. At the edge, and close to the edge of these networks “Operational Technlogy” is needed for monitoring and control. Systems to collect and distribute data, using a range of wireless technologies, often connected via a modem to provide NB-IoT, LTE-M, GPRS or 4/5G connectivity is a standard requirement. Networks of sensors may use LoRaWAN, Sigfox, Zigbee, Thread or other IEEE 802.15.4 / 6LoWPAN protocols to form local or mesh networks.

As processing moves to the edge, we offer increasingly powerful edge-processing including vision-enabled AI/ML solutions. Most of Direct Insight’s embedded solutions are key IoT Operational Technology building blocks including:

ARM Family board TRITON-TXFB A production-ready ARM-based solution with optional WiFi and modem connectivity

TRITON-TX ARM-based modules the heart of a custom ARM-based solution for IoT/M2M projects

Tiny Solder Down Modules enable space, energy and ESD-efficient implementation
