Arrow Electronics is selling wireless and sensor design platforms for IoT applications from Libelium, a specialist in remote sensing applications including forestry, agriculture, environmental monitoring, smart manufacturing and traffic control.
The hardware features extremely low power consumption. Individual sensor interfaces and radio modules can be turned off digitally to conserve energy and three different sleep modes enable the hardware to operate down to only 7µA when in hibernation mode.
More than 120 sensors are available to connect to the base hardware called Waspmote. There are 17 different wireless interfaces for Waspmote including long range (4G / 3G / GPS / GPRS / LoRaWAN / LoRa / Sigfox / 868 MHz / 900 MHz), medium range (Zigbee / 802.15.4 / DigiMesh / WiFi) and short range (RFID / NFC / Bluetooth 2.1 / Bluetooth LE).
Arrow’s own IoT platform called eVolve, will include connect software runing on Libelium Meshlium gateways.
