Nordic Semiconductor, the manufacturer of the System on a Chip (SoC) in many beacons, has published the latest online issue of Wireless Quarter Magazine. It showcases the many uses of Nordic SoCs.

The latest issue of the magazine highlights the use of SoCs in the following Bluetooth solutions:

• A glucose monitoring system
• A six-degrees-freedom (6DoF) virtual reality (VR) headset
• A smart bulb that can be controlled from a connected device or by voice command
• A smartwatch incorporating Amazon Alexa Voice Service (AVS) functionality
• A Mouse supporting very low latency PC gaming
• A Bluetooth LE powered trampoline wearable

There are also interesting articles on:

• The DECT-2020 standard for IoT
• How engineering education is evolving to train tomorrow’s IoT innovators
• How location services can extend beyond supply chains to other use cases
• How wireless tech increases workers’ safety and boosts productivity

The use of asset tracking solutions in global logistics could create $1.9 trillion of economic value

There’s also an ‘Inside Track’ article on beacons showing how beacon wireless location services are making consumers’ lives simpler.

The latest issue of the magazine highlights the use of the SoC in the following Bluetooth solutions:

• Continuous glucose monitoring system for diabetes
• Metered dose inhalers (MDIs) for asthma
• Smart liquid heater
• A musician’s playing monitor timer
• Chipolo Bluetooth LE tracker

It’s mentioned that hospitals are struggling to manage IoT:

13 percent of hospitals have no inventory of their Internet-connected devices or any way of knowing how many connected medical devices are deployed in their facility… costing their facilities between $21.5k and $45.7k an hour

There’s also an article ‘Dog Gone’ showing wearables are rapidly being worn by animals as owners want to ensure their pets fitness, health and security.

The global pet technology market, which accounted for over $5.5 billion in 2020, is set to grow at 22 percent CAGR from 2021 to 2027 when it will be worth over $20 billion

Nordic Semiconductor, the manufacturer of the System on a Chip (SoC) used in many beacons, has published the latest online issue of Wireless Quarter Magazine. It showcases the many uses of Nordic SoCs.

Highlights include:

• Nordic Semiconductor has launched an Apple Find My network compatible SDK
• A new Bluetooth device that could help vapers quit
• A Bluetooth LE smart pen that monitors aesthetic levels during surgery

There’s an in-depth article ‘Evolving Intelligence’ that covers AI machine learning. It explains how bandwidth limitations, latency demands and privacy concerns are dictating that machine learning move from the Cloud to edge devices. Battery powered IoT modules are able to perform machine learning inference in real-time allowing decision making near to where sensor data is generated and used.
