Manufacturing is just the start. The real challenge is maintaining software, managing component changes, certifications, and keeping systems online over many years.
Choosing a compute module form factor is one of those decisions that feels like an implementation detail early in a project and becomes a structural constraint the moment you commit to a PCB layout...
We break down what types of devices support Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) as of 2024–2026, covering all major categories without speculating on unconfirmed models.
What Every Engineer Needs to Know Before Designing In a Wi-Fi Module
Wi-Fi 6E Module Selection: When Each Wins
A new US program attempts to provide a seal on IoT products that inspires trust in customers for products that meet the standard. Here’s what that looks like, and when it could come to electronics near you.
In electronic design, particularly in products that operate in challenging environments, every decision is a trade-off that affects everything else. Here’s what we learned developing our RS26x LoRaWAN temperature sensor.
Ezurio provides FIPS 140-2 support on the 60-SOM, providing a complete cryptographic solution for medical applications as well as other extremely sensitive data. Now, we go one step further with FIPS 140-3.
Bolt-on wireless looked simple, but it created the same failures across every industry: RF issues, missed deadlines, rising BOM costs, and endless integration work. Connected MCUs remove that entire class of problems.
Ezurio takes security very seriously. It’s woven into everything we do, and not as an afterthought. That helped us certify our RS26x LoRaWAN sensors, and it helps our customers on the road to their own RED Cyber compliance.
