IoT connectivity

A few years ago, we developed an IoT device management platform called Kamea. The goal was simple: to create a solid foundation of reusable components to accelerate connectivity projects and deliver value faster. Today, we’ll share our experience migrating Kamea from a managed PaaS solution on Azure IoT Hub to a self-managed infrastructure based on Kubernetes.

Let’s jump a few years back: The rise of SaaS in device management SaaS (Software-as-a-Service)…

In a world where connected devices are proliferating, managing embedded connectivity is becoming more complex. This highlights the role of what we call embedded agents, i.e. modules that ensure robustness, security, and scalability in modern architecture, especially in industrial and IoT systems.

We all see it day after day: devices are becoming more intelligent. Now, designing embedded systems means equipping them with the ability to interact with their environment, communicate remotely, and even adapt in real time to unexpected constraints.
This article explores the core principles of connected system architecture and the role of an IoT platform, using the concrete example of connected lawn mowers.

IoT networks are the backbone of IoT projects, facilitating the communication and data exchange between diverse devices. This article will illuminate what constitutes an IoT network and explore the various types available for different project requirements. Whether you're developing a smart home system, industrial automation, or any other IoT application, understanding IoT networks will help you select the most suitable configuration for your needs.

When starting an IoT project, it's crucial to consider several constraints that will heavily impact hardware and communication medium choices. This article explores these major concerns and how they guide decision-making to select the right hardware for your device.

There are numerous communication channels that you can use to reach the cloud. Choosing the right IoT communication protocol requires reflecting on the following constraints: energy consumption, throughput, latency, range, cost, security, public or private network, coverage, and obsolescence. We will divide them into two categories: short-range and long-range.
