Particles M-series multi-radio devices connect anywhere with WiFi, cellular, NTN satellite, and LoRaWAN connectivity - CNX Software
Summary
Particle Industries Inc., an IoT Platform-as-a-Service company, has announced a new line of multi-radio boards and modules that offer multiple connectivity options in a single product. Particle’s M-series aims to address that problem by bundling multiple radios – Wi-Fi, cellular, satellite, and LoRaWAN – into one product. Particle is looking to expand from its two primary wireless technologies: Wi-Fi and cellular, and add two more radios, satellite and LoRaWAN, for broader coverage. These two radios will cover devices in areas such as enclosed spaces (boiler rooms, elevator shafts, basements, and mines) and remote locations (methane sensors in oil and gas plants, boats, and environmental sensors in wooded areas) Multi-radio networking offers two major advantages, according to Particle: • Network diversity: This removes the need for multiple devices with different radios for operation in varying environments. Particle’s customizable industrial IoT gateway, Monitor One, will be upgraded to support the Muon development board.
