The first step in data analytics maturity is describing what is happening with the devices in a connected product deployment. What is the average pressure inside a device? What is the device's maximum runtime each day? What is the greatest period of time that a device is at its highest pressure?

Exosite LLC, a leading innovator of Internet of Things (IoT) cloud platform solutions, announced the introduction of the first supported hardware platform for the ExositeReady™ Embedded SDK (software development kit), the Microchip WiFi Client Module (WCM) Development kit.

Each IoT solution is slightly different from another and with numerous choices to be made it can be difficult knowing which options will fit your solution best. As you design your IoT strategy, choosing the correct protocols will be an intricate part of your solution's success or failure. In this week's segment of our Embedded IoT Protocols white paper, written by Patrick Barrett, we will look at a new protocol, MQTT.

As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to grow in use across a widening range of industries, security is becoming a major concern. In a recent article for The Security Ledger, Exosite's CTO Mark Benson addresses this topic and identifies four important factors to consider and address when developing an IoT strategy. In his article "What Makes IoT Security So Hard?," Benson identifies these four factors as:

As analytics strategies increase in sophistication from descriptive through prescriptive, the human input required to turn information into action can be dramatically reduced. In turn, this helps to minimize costs, enhance efficiency, improve results, and increase positive customer experience.

Join Exosite in Singapore on March 30-31 at the IoT Asia exhibition and conference, where Exosite will showcase its expertise and IoT insights during the panel discussions. Not only is Exosite sponsoring the event, but our own Robert Yu, Marketing Director for Asia, will also participate in the "Industrial IoT Track" panel. Robert will share his perspectives on IoT-connected products in the industrial sector and their potential to drive unconventional growth. Featuring industry experts, the panel titled “Can IoT Truly Level the Playing Field for Industry” promises to offer a compelling exploration of how the IoT business generation will impact companies of all sizes. Join us on level 2 of the conference for the 50-minute discussion starting at 10:00 a.m. on March 31st.

A key part of developing any IOT PRODUCT STRATEGY is understanding the protocols needed for connected device deployments. In this week’s protocols blog, we will give a brief description of the “new” protocols found in the EMBEDDED IOT PROTOCOLS white paper.

Standardizing a data collection process is important in any industry. As a part of a CONNECTED PRODUCT STRATEGY, however, it becomes essential. As more companies implement IOT PRODUCT DEPLOYMENTS they are acquiring a growing amount of data. In this week’s segment of the DATA ANALYTICS FOR IOT white paper, we will look at just a few requirements for data collection as explained by Exosite’s Mark Benson and Jay Carlson.

SNAPKIDS ENGAGES LOCAL STUDENTS WITH HANDS-ON ACTIVITIES FOCUSED AROUND SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, AND MATHEMATICS.

Huntsville, Alabama (March 16, 2016) – SYNAPSE WIRELESS, an Internet of Things (IoT) company and part of the EXOSITE IOT ALLIANCE™, hosted their first ever SNAPkids educational session. The session was designed to teach youngsters about the fundamentals of engineering-related topics. The day-long event provided hands-on and interactive activities designed to pique their interest in STEM. In a collaborative learning environment, the sessions covered topics on basic fundamentals of logic, problem-solving, electricity, gravity, friction, computer programming, mathematics and more.

March 8, Minneapolis, Minn. – Nick Green, Senior UX Designer at Exosite, presented STEALTH ART: DESIGNING AROUND THE PROCESS to a full room at BuzzFeed Minneapolis’s monthly gathering of Mobile Twin Cities.

In any scalable IoT system it is important to use an embedded protocol that can handle the workload while doing it efficiently. In this week’s breakdown of the Embedded IoT Protocols white paper, written by Patrick Barrett, we will be looking at the benefits and implications of XMPP.
