Development solutions provide wireless support including LoRa communications for IoT development

RS Components is extending its portfolio of high-quality development boards with the introduction of two new SmartEverything solutions from Arrow. The SmartEverything LION IoT development SoM board and the SmartEverything ARIS IoT board both offer support for IoT application development. The SoM board is based on an Arduino form-factor board that features a Microchip LoRa module, which enables low-data-rate communications to be made over long distances. LoRa enables data from devices such as on-board sensors and actuators to be connected to the cloud to update data and control information for M2M and IoT applications. Features of the board include: the low-power Microchip ARM Cortex-M0+ powered CPU along with Microchip Crypto-Authentication; a 868MHz antenna; a Telit GPS module with embedded antenna; and MEMS accelerometer and gyroscope sensors which provide extra functionality for tracking and monitoring performance. The ARIS IoT board is a complete hardware/software platform built around the high-performance Renesas Synergy S7 Series microcontroller, which features an ARM Cortex-M4 processor running at 240MHz with 4MB of code flash and 640kB SRAM memory. The board is an all-purpose tool with an Arduino R3 compatible footprint and connections, as well as Arduino extension shields that can be used for implementing extra functionality hardware features.
