Gemalto accelerate IoT innovation with new rapid prototyping tool
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Mobile World Congress, Barcelona, February 28, 2017 - Gemalto (Euronext
NL0000400653 GTO), the world leader in digital security, is introducing a rapid
prototyping tool that will speed and simplify the creation of new Internet of
Things (IoT) applications. The Cinterion® Connect Shield development board
utilizes the popular and highly accessible Arduino¹ design environment, and
features an intelligent modem chipset optimized for low power IoT devices that
can deliver extended battery life.
The Cinterion® Connect Shield is the latest addition to Gemalto's portfolio of
development tools, which help designers and systems integrators develop IoT and
M2M ideas based on the company's robust connectivity modules. For the first
time, it will be possible to test and prove concepts that employ Gemalto's LTE
Cat. 1 wireless connectivity technology, using the familiar Arduino board format
and programming language. Access to IoT prototyping will be broadened and time
to market reduced, speeding the roll-out of innovative and efficient solutions.
Gemalto's Cinterion® Connect Shield roadmap also includes rapid migration to the
latest Narrowband-IoT (NB-IoT) standard, which is designed to support
applications that prioritize long battery life and reliable connectivity in
challenging environments, such as below ground. Adoption of NB-IoT will
therefore facilitate a host of new IoT and M2M applications, including sensing
and monitoring initiatives for the smart city and smart agriculture, and
intelligent metering in the utilities sector.
"The new Cinterion® Connect Shield rounds out Gemalto's extensive developer tool
kit designed to connect, secure and monetize a new breed of IoT solutions," said
Andreas Haegele, Senior Vice President of the IoT Products Business Line at
Gemalto. "We are helping passionate IoT developers invent new applications that
are smarter and more efficient than ever before."
Note to editors
1. Arduino is an open-source electronics platform based on affordable and easy-
to-use boards and software. It is employed by a global community of
designers and developers to program microcontroller-based systems that can
sense and control objects in the physical world. Shields plug directly into
Arduino boards to provide additional features and functionality.
2. The Cinterion® Connect Shield combines the well-known Arduino form factor
with highly efficient wireless connectivity and a wide range of interfaces
to enable maximum flexibility in building IoT proof-of-concepts (PoC). The
shield delivers optimized bandwidth performance along with a basic set of
sensors and an external antenna for optimal signal reception, all at an
attractive price point. Available immediately with LTE Cat. 1 wireless
connectivity and 2G fallback, the solution will migrate to the newest
Narrowband-IoT technology (NB-IoT) in Q2 2017 offering even more efficiency.
This gives IoT professionals and inventors the opportunity to experience the
benefits, diversity and scalability of the global cellular ecosystem.
The Cinterion® Connect Shield will be soon available for purchase on Gemalto
webstore.
