We’ve seen that demand for low latency, offline access, and enhanced machine learning capabilities is fueling a move towards decentralization with more powerful computing devices at the edge.
Nevertheless, many distributed applications benefit more from a centralized architecture and the lowest cost hardware powered by MCUs.
Let’s examine how hardware choice and use case requirements factor into different IoT system architectures.

Revolutionize Remote Wireless Monitoring with AI and High-Energy Lithium Batteries
Sept. 10, 2021
With our nation’s hard infrastructure, there’s a growing need for battery-powered, AI-enabled remote wireless devices that communicate bidirectionally, helping decision makers apply resources more strategically to repair and maintain these assets.
https://www.electronicdesign.com/industrial-automation/article/21174995/ayyeka-technologies-revolutionize-remote-wireless-monitoring-with-ai-and-highenergy-lithium-batteries?utm_source=EG%20ED%20IoT%20for%20Engineers&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=CPS210908124&o_eid=7211D2691390C9R&rdx.ident%5Bpull%5D=omeda%7C7211D2691390C9R&oly_enc_id=7211D2691390C9R
What you’ll learn:
Our nation’s aging infrastructure requires the implementation of Infrastructure 4.0 to better manage and maintain these valuable assets.
Remote wireless devices are being used to improve management and maintenance of hard infrastructure to provide greater insight enhanced by AI.
Ideally, low-power wireless devices deployed throughout hard infrastructure need highly energetic batteries capable of supporting bidirectional communications necessary to provide actionable real-time data to better manage and maintain these assets.
Bobbin-type LiSOCl2 batteries deliver high capacity, high energy density, an extended temperature range, and very low annual self-discharge rate, suiting them for long-term deployments in harsh environments.

Optimizing Networks to Resolve IoT and Edge Challenges
Oct. 1, 2021
What are the latest IoT and edge-computing trends, and how can enterprises optimize their network and maintain optimized connectivity? Wyebot CEO Roger Sands weighs in on the edge-computing landscape.
https://www.mwrf.com/technologies/systems/article/21177118/wyebot-optimizing-networks-to-resolve-iot-and-edge-challenges
Tomi Engdahl says:
IoT and Edge Computing Challenges
Operational: According to the Eclipse Foundation, enterprises’ largest operational challenges when it comes to IoT and edge tech are end-to-end IoT solution monitoring and management; device management; and network, devices, and data security.
Security: These technologies help unify business processes, but a proliferation of IoT devices also leads to security challenges. For example, many of these devices don’t support WPA2-Enterprise, which is considered the leading option for Wi-Fi network security. Furthermore, different edge devices will have different built-in authentication and security capabilities. To alleviate any cyberattack possibilities, businesses should pursue complete network visibility, and plan to both certify all connected devices before they can connect and determine how to isolate or segment different groups of devices.
Privacy: Companies must ensure the privacy of individuals, as well as that of the business, when collecting data. With more and more IoT devices entering the scene, some of which may connect to individual laptops or tablets, or even people themselves, companies must make sure that their privacy practices evolve equally as fast as device adoption.
Geographic: While edge-computing platforms can be beneficial for remote sites that would otherwise spend lots of time and money sending data back and forth to distant cloud systems, companies might find managing these systems challenging if there aren’t IT teams onsite, and if there’s no remote way to monitor the platform.
Potential loss of data: Edge platforms can discard any data considered useless, rather than taking the time and energy to send all processed data to a cloud storage center. This could, in the long run, mean that a company doesn’t have access to data that has suddenly moved from useless to useful.

https://www.crn.com/slide-shows/data-center/laptops-vxrail-5g-software-dell-launches-7-new-edge-products/2
VxRail Satellite Nodes
VxRail is the world’s market leading hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI). With research firm IDC estimating that 50 percent of new IT infrastructure will be deployed at the edge by 2023, Dell is looking to make VxRail broadly available in all forms with the launch of its new VxRail satellite nodes.
The new Dell EMC satellite nodes bring VxRail’s operational model and efficiencies to edge sites with a reduced infrastructure footprint. As the only HCI solution jointly engineered with VMware, VxRail satellite node single-node deployments automate day-to-day operations, health monitoring and lifecycle management from a centralized location without the need for local technical and specialized resources. Dell says business verticals including retail, manufacturing and remote branch offices can now get started with VxRail for less.
The new VxRail satellite nodes extend automation and lifecycle management capabilities to Dell’s smallest configuration to date for edge workloads.

Tekoäly voi avittaa reunalaskentaa
https://www.uusiteknologia.fi/2021/11/09/tekoaly-voi-avittaa-reunalaskentaa/
Reunalaskennalla voidaan täydentää ja tehostaa esimerkiksi teollisuuden pilvipalveluratkaisuja ja anturiverkkoratkaisuja. Kun mukaan tuodaan tekoäly- ja koneoppimismenetelmät samalla vaateet laadukkaista yhteyksistä korostuvat. Lisää aiheesta voit lukea Oulun yliopistossa perjantaina 12.11.2021 tarkastettavasta väitöskirjatyöstä.
Oulun yliopiston tutkija, filosofian maisteri Lauri Lovén väitöstyön aihe on uusi tieteenala, jossa tutkitaan, kuinka reunalaskenta sekä tekoäly- ja koneoppimismenetelmät voidaan yhdistää. Hyötyjä ja sovellusalueita löytyy virtuaalitodellisuudesta (VR) ja täydennetystä todellisuudesta (AR) sekä muista paljon laskentaa ja lyhyttä viivettä vaativista toteutuksista esimerkiksi lääketieteellisistä etäleikkauksista ainaisojen liikennevirtojen ennustamiseen.
Siinä missä pilvilaskenta perustuu kaukaisiin datakeskuksiin, ottaa reunalaskenta huomioon myös laskentaresurssit matkalla paikallisista laitteista pilveen. Reunalaskennan resurssit ovat ominaisuuksiltaan kirjavia: niiden kapasiteetit saattavat olla hyvin erilaisia, niiden yhteydet saattavat katkeilla ja ne saattavat olla saatavilla satunnaisesti. Kun reunalla ollaan niin eri laitteiden tarjoamat laskentaresurssit vaihtelevat voimakkaasti.

Nopeita datayhteyksiä tarjoava Equinix laajentaa Suomen asiakkaiden palveluita uudella Network Edge -konseptilla. Kyse on käytännössä virtuaalisesta palvelimista, joiden avulla yritykset voivat käsitellä dataa lähempänä käyttäjää, ilman fyysistä datakeskusta, kertoo yhtiön Suomen toimitusjohtaja Sami Holopainen.
Holopaisen mukaan nämä verkon reunapalvelut sopivat hyvin moniin sovelluksiin sekä moni- että hybridipilviympäristössä. – Pilvipalvelujen käyttöönotto, pilvien välinen dataliikenne, VPN-yhteydet, liikennöinti toisten asiakkaiden suuntaan ja palveluiden laajentaminen uusille markkinoille, hän luettelee esimerkiksi.

As the cost of embedded networked devices falls—consider the Raspberry Pi as one example—they become ubiquitous. But, a hidden cost in this proliferation is that these devices can lack security and therefore be exploited. Without the investment in security, devices can leak private information—such as video, images, or audio—or become part of a botnet that wreaks havoc around the world.

Power at the Edge: the role of the data centre in sustainability
https://www.brighttalk.com/webcast/19165/540432?player-preauth=BuK9QIk90x8EmwCc4ZMkXU%2FII87dYmMCjDtIJwX5FnU%3D&utm_source=brighttalk-promoted&utm_campaign=network_weekly_email&utm_medium=email&utm_content=collab-recommended&utm_term=222022
In this webinar, learn how you can significantly reduce the power consumption in your data centre and dramatically contribute to your sustainability goals.
The data center industry is responsible for approx 1-3% of the total electricity consumed around the world, with no sign of abating. And, while the amount of power per processing unit has been reducing, in reality, the real, actual amount of power has been increasing in line with total processing demands.
External and internal pressures for transparency in sustainability practices are increasing, forcing organizations to declare their intentions and demonstrate the practical steps they are taking to make change. The data center is a natural place for organizations to start, and making fundamental, positive change is more achievable than ever before.
The way that IT infrastructure is changing at the moment is more of it is going to be built in smaller, more distributed “edge” locations – locations that still pose very practical constraints when it comes to space, accessibility, power and cooling.

According to Statista, ‘the total installed base of Internet of Things (IoT) connected devices worldwide is projected to amount to 30.9 billion units by 2025, a sharp jump from the 13.8 billion units that are expected in 2021.’ The amount of data that these devices produce that needs to be processed is almost hard to fathom, and cloud alone cannot cope with the sheer number of data sets. Which is where Edge computing comes in.
Edge computing sees the deployment of computing and storage at the location where data is produced, be that a supermarket, a factory or a university. With Edge vs Cloud being a hotly debated topic in recent years, it’s time to address their definitions and how they can strengthen each other – and the businesses that utilize them.
