Sensor connectivity kit for IoT works with AWS
The IDT SDAWIR03 sensor connectivity kit, says the company, is designed to make it easier for engineers and software developers to design complex IoT solutions and applications, eliminating the need for specific device expertise. The kit demonstrates the company’s ZWIR45xx 6LoWPAN low-power wireless module platform that is provisioned and configured for AWS.
Featuring a sensor node module with real-time humidity, temperature, and gas flow sensors, the connectivity kit has been specifically developed for new and active AWS users who are interested in offering “sensing as a service” to their customers.
“IDT in working with Amazon Marketplace is enabling a new frontier in seamless integration of real-time data with AWS,” says Sailesh Chittipeddi, IDT’s executive vice president for global operations and chief technology officer. “IDT provides easy access to the data highway with AWS, to our partners and customers, who are actively working with us to collect, analyze, and visualize real-time data while staying focused on their core competencies.”
When additional SDAWIR03 sensor node modules are added, it will automatically connect via a mesh network based on the company’s SensorShare 6LoWPAN protocol. The SDAWIR03 6LoWPAN hub connects to the AWS cloud where the data can be visualized and analyzed using available tools such as ElasticSearch and Kibana.
The 6LoWPAN wireless mesh connectivity uses an IPv6 address of each sensor module, integrating itself seamlessly into the existing infrastructure. The SensorShare wireless communication firmware in each SDAWIR03 kit has no license fee and no royalties.
The SDAWIR03 kit hub supports Over-The-Air (OTA) updates from the AWS site so the latest updates can be easily loaded to the kit. The kit is currently sampling at key customers and is expected to be available for wider distribution starting in early October through Amazon Marketplace.
