Feed: The Internet of Things on AWS – Official Blog. Author: Adrian Valenzuela. Many IoT devices rely on Low-Power Wide-Area Networks (LPWAN) to connect their fleets. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or wired Ethernet serve an important role in providing connectivity, but these connections have limited range. Cellular connectivity may require expensive monthly service fees which can consume high power and limits the battery life of small, low-bandwidth sensors or devices. It is common for many enterprises to develop IoT applications using devices that transmit data over long range (1-3 miles urban coverage or up to 10 miles with line of sight) or ... Read More

Feed: The Internet of Things on AWS – Official Blog. Author: Syed Rehan. Today AWS announced AWS IoT Device Defender Machine Learning Detect and Mitigation (ML Detect), a new feature that automatically detects IoT device-level operational and security anomalies based on learnings from past device data. Today, customers can use AWS IoT Device Defender’s Rules Detect feature to manually set static alarms. ML Detect makes this easier by automatically setting your fleet’s expected behavior so that you don’t need an in-depth understanding of how your devices behave across a range of metrics to get started like messages sent, disconnect frequency, and bytes in/out ...

Feed: The Internet of Things on AWS – Official Blog. Author: Usman Anwer. From assembling automobiles to producing pharmaceuticals, successful industrial operations are fruits of continuous efforts to minimize equipment downtime, maximize product quality, and ensure personnel safety. Industrial IoT promises capabilities that can help manufacturers unlock insights quickly from a growing volume of sensor data from their equipment. Armed with these insights, operators can respond to equipment issues, product quality issues, and safety hazards as soon as they occur. In this post we will walk through AWS IoT SiteWise Edge, a new feature that enables customers to collect and ... Read More

Feed: The Internet of Things on AWS – Official Blog. Author: Adrian Buzescu. Introduction IoT product development crosses several domains of expertise from embedded design to communication protocols and cloud computing. Because of this complexity “end-to-end” or “edge-to-cloud” IoT security is becoming a challenging concept in the industry. Edge in many cases refers to the device as a single element in the edge-to-cloud chain. But the device must not be regarded as a whole when security requirements are defined. Trust must first be established within the processing unit and propagated through several layers of the software stack before the device ... Read More

C-SDK is a collection of open source libraries written in C under the MIT license that makes it faster to securely connect embedded IoT devices to AWS IoT Core. This release improves several underlying libraries including coreMQTT, AWS IoT Device Shadow, and AWS IoT Jobs. It also adds new libraries including coreHTTP, and AWS IoT Device Defender needed for embedded and IoT applications. Refactored and optimized IoT connectivity, security, and AWS-specific libraries This release includes ... Read More

Feed: The Internet of Things on AWS – Official Blog. Author: Nikolai Danylchyk. By using low-cost embedded devices like the Espressif ESP32 family, and the breadth of AWS services, you can create an advanced object recognition system.ESP32 microcontroller is a highly integrated solution for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth IoT applications, with around 20 external components. In this example, we use AI Thinker ESP32-CAM variant that comes with an OV2640 camera module. This module is a low voltage CMOS image sensor providing full functionality of a single-chip UXGA (1632×1232) camera and image processor in a small footprint package. As a development platform, ...
