Tria Technologies introduced two wireless modules, the SPB611 and SPB209, both supporting multiple short-range protocols and helping to speed up the development of wireless-enabled embedded systems. The SPB611 delivers Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax 80 MHz) dual-band and Bluetooth 5.2, while the SPB209 offers Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) and Bluetooth 4.2. The SPB611 offers a tri-radio option to add 802.15.4-2020 (Thread and ZigBee) mesh networking capabilities. To reduce the size of the system, both modules can be supplied with an LTE filter and PCB antenna.

Speed is of the essence in prototyping. The key to market success is to deploy applications that make new services possible and streamline those that already exist. Today’s embedded systems are becoming far richer in the functionality they deliver, exploiting technologies such as data analytics and machine learning to better handle real-time sensor data. They are also taking advantage of improvements in user-interface technology to make automated systems easier to set up and control.

The agricultural sector is undergoing a major technological overhaul that some are calling the era of Farming 4.0. This agricultural revolution is marked by autonomous machines that carry a raft of sensing and processing devices. These machines collect and analyse data to make decisions in real time that improve productivity, efficiency, sustainability, and cost effectiveness.

Stutensee, Germany. Tria Technologies, an Avnet company, will launch five innovative families utilizing Qualcomm’s Dragonwing and Snapdragon platforms at embedded world. The solutions deliver powerful computing and efficiency for the next generation of IoT devices. The enhanced AI performance opens innovation for AI deployment at the edge.

Edge AI is one of the popular topics amongst the embedded community. It’s the place where decisions are made, data is analyzed, etc. It’s also a place where lots of confusion arises because of its complexity, especially from a development perspective. To get to the heart of where the challenges lie in this phase of design, I spoke with Jim Beneke, a Vice President for Tria Americas, an Avnet company, on this week’s Embedded Executives podcast. Jim has a pretty deep history in the embedded space and served as a great resource on this topic.
