EBV Elektronik, a company of Avnet and DeviceDrive, an innovative Cloud-on-Chip based in Oslo, presents the latest EBVchip IRIS device, an 802.11 b/g/n network-on-a-chip solution.The device targets various applications such as smart power connectors, home automation, mesh network gateways, industrial wireless control, sensor networks, wearable electronics, WiFi location devices, security ID tags, and WiFi positioning system beacons.
“Because Iris enables automatic connection to the cloud and mobile applications, no network configuration is required,” says Dr. Eckart Voskamp, EBV’s Director of Product Innovations. “We are combining best-in-class hardware with innovative software and a highly innovative cloud connectivity solution from our partner DeviceDrive. This makes deployment extremely easy for our customers and offers a very attractive cost of connectivity, thus completing our EBVchips IoT product family.”.
A JSON-based API via UART simplifies passing object parameters. Iris is fully certified worldwide and supports over-the-air (OTA) updates for both the module and the client firmware. The small, shielded module features a built-in PCB antenna with a 2 dBi gain.
Iris offers low-power design capabilities, making it ideal for battery-powered applications. To simplify the design process, a comprehensive mobile software development kit (MSD) is available for multiple platforms, including iOS and Android. Furthermore, Iris provides exceptionally easy software integration. A complete evaluation kit is available starting at €49.00.
