STMicroelectronics and Paradox Engineering Present Smart City Technologies at TECHNO-FRONTIER 2015
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Tokyo, May 20, 2015 - Ready for the Internet-of-Things (IoT) age when everything
is expected to be connected to the Internet, STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM), a
global semiconductor leader serving customers across the spectrum of electronics
applications, and Paradox Engineering SA, a Swiss technology company designing
and developing IoT-ready wireless sensor network solutions, will be
demonstrating wireless mesh network technologies for Smart City at TECHNO-
FRONTIER 2015 (May 20-22, 2015).
A domestic, urban, or industrial environment can only be smart when devices and
sensors installed in various locations or objects are part of a network that is
managed coherently and cohesively. In a Smart City, data coming from the various
'urban' nodes can be used to develop services for efficient energy management,
reduced environmental footprint, and improved maintenance for public
infrastructure and buildings.
At ST's booth (No. 5E-301), visitors will have the opportunity to learn how an
integrated wireless sensor network platform enables monitoring, control, and
delivery of Smart City services using Paradox Engineering's PE.AMI smart city
solution and PE.STONE IoT platform, connected with ST's STM32 Nucleo development
boards, various X-Nucleo extension boards for motion and environmental sensing,
and proximity sensor boards. The demonstration at ST's booth will show a clear
and simple example of a smart environment.
Paradox Engineering has advanced expertise and market experience in radio and
ultra-low-power design, as well as network design, set-up and management.
PE.AMI is Paradox Engineering's multi-application platform for hybrid
wireless/PLC narrowband/broadband full mesh networks, offering multiple off-the-
shelf vertical applications for Smart Lighting, Smart Parking, Smart Metering,
Smart Waste, and EV-charger management. It supports IP cameras for video
surveillance, traffic monitoring, public Wi-Fi, and other urban applications.
PE.STONE is Paradox Engineering's integrated hardware and software module for
easy development of high-performance and cost-effective IoT applications. It
enables projects for Smart Cities, Smart Grid, Energy Management, Wireless
Sensor Networks for any M2M, HAN (Home Area Network), HUMS (Health Usage
Monitoring Service), and industrial-control systems, and many more. PE.STONE
forms the basis of the PE.AMI platform. Both Paradox Engineering's
IPv6/6LoWPAN((1))-compliant off-the-shelf PE.AMI platform and PE.STONE module
have a self-recovery function and enable highly robust and scalable mesh
networks.
Both Paradox Engineering's PE.AMI and PE.STONE platforms use ST's STM32L high-
performance, low-power 32-bit microcontroller and SPIRIT1, a sub-GHz wireless
transceiver IC that provides high receiver sensitivity, offers extremely low
current consumption and is equipped with high-performance software. The PE.AMI
wireless lighting control board also contains ST's energy-metering IC for
monitoring power consumption.
The STM32 Nucleo board that powers the ST/Paradox Engineering Smart City
demonstration is equipped with the STM32F401 MCU, which offers an optimal
balance between power consumption and performance during operation, facilitating
quick software and hardware development of embedded systems. ST provides the
sensing and computing functions required by wireless sensor nodes by combining
the Nucleo boards with an X-Nucleo extension board equipped with a MEMS
accelerometer and pressure/temperature/humidity sensors, or a Time-of-Flight
based proximity sensor board. ST Nucleo and X-Nucleo boards offer a ready-to-use
ecosystem to enable fast development of IoT products.
"At TECHNO-FRONTIER, Paradox Engineering and ST are showcasing how technology
can really enable smart environments and allow integrated advanced services to
be managed and delivered, connecting and controlling the objects of today and
tomorrow," stated Gianni Minetti, President and CEO, Paradox Engineering. "We
found ST technologies to be the perfect match for our pioneering approach: our
innovative technologies represent an accelerated path to make Smart Cities and
IoT solutions come true for the benefit of everyday life of people and
communities and to reduce the risk of long development cycles in a fast moving
market."
"The TECHNO-FRONTIER demonstrations clearly show how ST is enabling the creation
of convenient, environmentally-friendly Smart City systems, capable of using and
analyzing huge amounts of data, in combination with Paradox Engineering's
advanced wireless-communication technologies," said Marco Cassis, Executive Vice
President and President of Japan and Korea Region, STMicroelectronics. "To make
it easy for our customers to develop various types of wireless sensor nodes more
quickly, ST is continuously expanding its IoT development arsenal, encompassing
MCUs, sensors, communication ICs, and power ICs, with both hardware and software
offerings."
