CSEM and Miromico reduce industrial IoT data traffic

CSEM and Miromico have developed a compact wireless node that analyses industrial sensor data at the source. Combining CSEM’s ultra-low-power Fibonacci AI chip with Miromico’s modular radio technology, the platform activates its LoRa or mioty connection only when relevant information needs to be transmitted. This reduces data traffic and supports long-term, battery-powered monitoring in remote […]
