offers more than 99.99999% network reliability in even the most challenging RF environments - equivalent to cable network reliability! The Vicotee system can easily, effectively, and wirelessly connect entire cities using inexpensive existing technology-in this case, the AURORA XDLSN3. This unit consists of one radio mainboard unit with SMARTMESH IP, LoRa, Sigfox, or NB-IoT radio and one sensor board that can easily be configured to use all kind of sensors. This module is meant for rapid development of new functionalities. Both boards have an MCU. This way, we can handle and analyze high-speed data on the module. The radio module has a temperature and humidity sensor, so it can work as a standalone module. Both the radio mainboard and sensor board are equipped with one battery each. When the two boards are connected together, the batteries will be connected in parallel (long life). They are connected by open-ended card edge - no soldering. Arrow was able to support both IoT gateway and IoT edge-node applications with fast time to market after the customers evaluated the technologies and their needs with Arrow development tools/reference designs and moved to production units in a short time. To find out more, visit Arrow at Arrow. com for the aforementioned boards and solutions.

ASME — Arrow SmartEveryThing Boards: Tiger, Lion, Fox, Dragonfly

microcontroller using the 32-bit Arm Cortex M0 processor that is supported by the Arduino IDE for a fast and easy software development cycle. The Lion Board provides the following peripherals/modules: Crypto Authentication Chipset LoRa module GPS module with embedded antenna Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) interface The third board was the ASME- DRAGONFLY. The Dragonfly is ready-to-use IoT hardware that is a part of Arrow’s board family called SmartEverything. It is Arduino-IDE– compatible, which allows fast and easy software development.

The main highlight of this board is that it is an ideal triple-play gateway solution with its main modules: Microchip MCU for Arduino compatibility Dusty module from IOTeam, performing SmartMesh IP operations A Sigfox module from IOTeam for low-power, long-range wireless communication A Wi-Fi module from Microchip A couple of weeks after the seminar, the customer knew that they wanted and needed to use all of the wireless communication on their product and that it would be very difficult to develop in a short time, mainly because of the complexity of the RF. The customer wanted to know if Arrow had an industrial solution that supports all RF technologies in one rugged product with built-in sensors. Arrow has a supplier, Vicotee, a leading IoT company delivering smart sensors for scalable IoT solutions to the professional market around the world. Vicotee can be used wherever sensors are needed for monitoring purposes. Whether it is building automation, environmental monitoring, offshore, green energy, smart cities, health care, hospitals, or homes, the Vicotee network solution
