'Upcoming webinar: Batteryless Cellular IoT with Conexio'
We’re excited to be hosting a new webinar coming up on June 18th at Noon ET / 9 am PT with Rajeev Piyare of Conexio Technologies. They are a new Golioth Design Partner and the creators of the Stratus Pro development board, based on the Nordic Semiconductor nRF9151.
Problem space
The problem is the same as it ever was: batteries run out. And even though cellular components are lower power draw than ever…well they’re not zero! So it’s all about optimization:
- Reducing the amount we draw when we are not transmitting
- Choosing low overhead, highly efficient ways of transmitting
- Selecting the right combination of hardware elements to enable non-battery operation It will probably come as no surprise that Conexio boards and the Golioth cloud figure strongly in the above solution. There is also a strong supporting cast of other vendors in the mix, including Nordic Semiconductor, 1nce SIMs, a RAK wireless case, and Datacake visualization.
What you’ll learn
Rajeev has taken
the Golioth Reference Design Template, which is a Zephyr project that we use as a starter project on our open source Reference Designs, and made it work even more efficiently on Conexio hardware. That combination of hardware, firmware, and cloud makes for a very low quiescent current draw and efficient connectivity to reduce the overall usage. We’ll cover the following in the webinar:
- Different cellular low power modes and how to use them to make extra sleepy devices
- Utilizing Connection ID with the Golioth Firmware SDK
- Configuring solar and supercapacitors with the onboard power handling
- Adding device location with minimal power draw
