The journey of a successful IoT design begins with a great idea and sound business case, once this is established development work can commence.

Creating a Proof of Concept on a development board reduces development time and allows the application to be demonstrated on proven hardware.

Capturing and rectifying mistakes early in the product development process saves potentially huge future costs.

Thales provides a wide suite of tools and support packages across the entire product development cycle to help ensure our customers make successful IoT products and realise the full benefits of their investment in IoT.

 

5G NB-IoT Low-Power Cellular Developer Starter Kit is an easy-to-configure tool to connect your low power application

Partnering with Qoitech we have combined our products in one starter kit that offers easy to setup developer kit with power analyzer for evaluation and prototyping of narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) connectivity and its energy consumption.

This powerful development board allows users to quickly test prototypes in a laboratory environment. External peripherals like sensors, actuators, or additional interfaces to external applications are easily connected to all accessible module lines via pin headers. Its functionality is extended by Qoitech's OTII-ARC-001, a power analyzer, power supply, and log sync, all in one package, that is capable to display current and voltage measurements in real-time, enabling analysis of an energy profile synced to device UART logs.

IoT Power Optimisation

Estimating, calculating and measuring the power consumption of cellular IoT devices is notoriously difficult.

The variations and parameters on a live network lead to a seemingly endless number of factors to consider when attempting to model a device power profile.

To ensure a long lifecycle of a low powered IoT product, typically running on batteries, significant engineering effort is required to assess application parameters and battery performance across a range of environmental and network dynamics.

Thales and Qoitech recognise this challenge. We have teamed up to deliver an intelligent energy measurement platform so you can design smarter, equipped with a powerful toolkit to measure and optimise IoT device power consumption.
A combination of the Thales DevKit package and Otii measurement tool by Qoitech closely examines power consumption throughout the application, making recommendations to optimise a balance between functionality and battery lifetime.
