    Arm announced a new processor targeted at autonomous driving applications. The Cortex-A76AE is a superscalar, out-of-order processor that incorporates Split-Lock safety technology. Split-Lock allows CPU clusters in an a SoC to be configured either in ‘split mode’ for high performance, allowing two (or four) independent CPUs in the cluster to be used for diverse tasks and applications, or ‘lock mode’ where CPUs are in lock-step, creating one (or two) pairs of locked CPUs in a cluster, for higher safety integrity applications. It is optimized for 7nm process nodes.

    Tiny WiFi-Enabled ARM MCU for Tiny Projects
    https://hackaday.com/2018/10/02/tiny-wifi-enabled-arm-mcu-for-tiny-projects/

    Ever since the ESP8266 WiFi-enabled microcontroller came on the scene, it seemed like suddenly everyone came up with WiFi-enabled projects. But the ESP8266 is not the only game in town! Reader [PuceBaboon] notified us of a new product released by Seeed Studios: the imaginatively called Air602 WiFi Development Board.

    The core of this board is the tiny WinnerMicro W600 MCU, which integrates a 32-bit ARM Cortex M3 CPU, along with dual UARTs, I2C, SPI and I2S interfaces, as well as a real-time clock (RTC). Add to this hardware crypto, seven I/O pins (five broken out on the development board) and you have a very capable WiFi-enabled MCU which can be programmed using the usual ARM development tools (e.g. Keil) using the provided SDK.

    The Air602 WiFi Module, a New ESP8266 Competitor?
    An ESP8266-like board for just a single dollar?
    https://blog.hackster.io/the-air602-wifi-module-a-new-esp8266-competitor-2d00ad5fdd0c

    Since the ESP8266 was released, over four years ago now, there have been a number of possible competitors like the RTL8710 or, more recently, the RDA5981. But none of them have really taken off in the same way as the Espressif chip did.

    That doesn’t stop people from releasing new hardware of course, and the latest to make it to market is the Air602 module available from SeeedStudio.

    Based around the WinnerMicro W600, an Arm Cortex-M3 with 1MB of Flash on chip with 2.4GHz WiFi support, the Air602 module has a tiny 10×12 mm footprint—less than half the size of the ESP-01

    leaves only seven available for I/O. These are split between the two UARTs—with SPI available as a secondary option—and a single GPIO pin.

    The board provides the missing antenna in the form of an on-board PCB antenna, and USB connectivity

    http://www.etn.fi/index.php/13-news/8561-maailman-ensimmainen-wize-radio

    Wireless M-Bus

    WIZE toimii 169 megahertsin taajuudella eli selvästi muita IoT-tekniikoita alemmalla taajuudella.

    RC1701HP-WIZE-moduuli on ensimmäinen WIZE Alliancen standardiin perustuva moduuli. Sen kantama on näköyhteydellä yli viisi kilometriä ja tiheässä kaupunkimaastossakin 1-2 kilometriä.

    Pintaliitettävän moduulin mitat ovat 12,7 x 25,4 milliä.

    Wize Technology
    http://www.wize-alliance.com/

    Wize technology is a low-power, long-range and bi-directional radio communication that operates around 169 MHz frequencies. Specifically designed to connect hard to access objects, leveraging over ten years’ experience of field deployments, WIZE delivers secure information for Internet of Things applications for cities, industrial or tertiary sectors.

    Wize technology is a registered trade mark naming a low-power, long-range and bi-directional radio communication that operates around 169 MHz frequencies. Specifically designed to connect hard to access objects (isolated or buried objects), leveraging over ten years’ experience of field deployments, Wize delivers secure information for Internet of Things applications for cities, industrial or tertiary sectors.

    Wize technology offers a range of several tens of kilometers in the open field, a good resistance to the phenomenon of attenuation. The technology offers rates of message exchange between 2400 and 6400 bits/s all the while preserving the duration of battery life and limiting the use of bandwidth and therefore collisions.

    Wize technology enables the management of a large number of objects in bi-directional mode and the secure transmissions of an object to the management platforms. The current version is based on the European standard 13757-x, defined by the European Union to accompany the deployment of communicating meters.

    This technology is for the usage linked to the Industrial Internet of Things.

    Although Wize Technology was developed in VHF (very high frequency) 169 MHz, it is modular and works on other close frequency bands. The technology is already proven in many countries in Europe and Africa, it is very effective to deploy a network on a local scale.

    This technology has the ability to have objects communicate that are sufficiently energy-efficient to last a very long time. For example, water and gas communicating meters are powered by battery, the lifetime of which is expected to last 20 years for the most restrictive use.

    Crypto Quantique unveils its ‘quantum driven secure chip’ for IoT devices
    https://techcrunch.com/2018/10/17/crypto-quantique/?sr_share=facebook&utm_source=tcfbpage

    With Gartner estimating that there will be 150 billion connected devices by 2030 — many of them mission critical, such as powering major national infrastructure — the risk and realisation that these devices aren’t secured properly is leading some cyber security experts to predict that there is a large-scale disaster waiting to happen. And the problem is only getting worse. By some estimates, on average there are 127 new devices connected to the internet every second.

    Specifically, the company has developed what it claims is “the world’s first quantum driven secure chip (QDSC)” on silicon, which, when combined with cryptographic APIs, it says is capable of providing any connected device with a scalable and easy to implement “end-to-end” security solution.

    Three antennas join the Taoglas Extensis range of NB-IoT (narrowband IoT) antennas, including the ceramic NCP.5820, which is only 2 mm high and occupies a footprint of just 14.1×8.3 mm. This small surface-mount antenna covers Bands 5, 8, and 20 simultaneously with a single matching configuration, while the FXUB64 ultra-thin, flexible antenna supports all LTE bands.

    The low-profile NCP.5820 works over Band 8 (880 MHz to 960 MHz) and Band 20 (791 MHz to 862 MHz), as well as Band 5 (824 MHz to 894 MHz), to allow IoT devices, such as asset trackers, to work across different regions and different carriers.

    The third entry in the Extensis series is the FXUB64 flexible ultra-wideband antenna. Designed for working frequencies in the 600 MHz to 3000 MHz spectrum, the FXUB64 covers all cellular, 2.4 GHz WiFi, ISM, and A-GPS bands, including LTE Band 71. This flexible peel-and-stick polymer antenna is 130×30×0.2 mm and adheres to nonmetal surfaces.

    Bluetooth Chip Needs No Battery
    https://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id=1333889

    Startup Atmosic Technologies is sampling a Bluetooth 5 chip it claims lowers power consumption up to 10x its nearest rival. A new beaconing scheme it promotes lowers power even further, and a built-in RF energy harvester opens a door to operation without a battery.

    The company, led by a team of Atheros founders, initially targets a handful of markets such as keyboards and mice, remote controls and wearables. It aims to ride a Bluetooth market expected to more than double from 680 million units last year to 1.54 billion in 2021, according to ABI Research.

    The startup took a fresh look at how to design a modern Bluetooth chip resulting in claims of 5-10x power reductions. “Every single block was revisited—the LNAs, data converters, everything down to the I/Os,” said chief executive David Su, declining to provide any specifics.
