How antennas impact IoT end-device certifications
Before an IoT end-product can be launched into the market, it needs to successfully go through multiple levels of complex certification approval processes to certify the product is in compliance with government regulations and industry standards; safe to use; and is interoperable with other devices on the network. Certification approval processes can be time consuming and costly, and failure to pass leads to longer product development time, higher cost, and further delay of market launch.
Antennas are one of the most essential parts of a wireless IoT device and the antenna’s performance is critical to the success of product certification approval. Having a thorough understanding of the certification approval tests on the radiation performance of the wireless device helps in selecting the right antenna to meet the required radiation performance and, ultimately, the success of product certification.

HaiLa Technologies licenses backscatter tech from University of Washington
HaiLa Technologies has announced that it has entered into a licence agreement with the University of Washington to develop and commercialise its backscatter technology used to reduce the power consumption of wireless communications.
Under the terms of the agreement, HaiLa is granted rights to a number of patents related to backscatter technology and will undertake the development and commercialisation of several multi-protocol, RF-capable System on Chip (SoC) solutions which will offer connectivity with significantly reduced power consumption.

Infineon unveils PSoC 6 AI evaluation kit for edge AI and ML systems
Infineon Technologies AG has announced the release of a comprehensive evaluation kit for embedded, Edge AI and Machine Learning (ML) system designs. The new PSoC 6 AI Evaluation Kit provides all the tools required to build intelligent consumer, smart home and IoT applications. The solution executes inferencing next to the sensor data source, providing such user benefits as enhanced real-time performance and power efficiency compared to cloud-centric solution architectures. Its small 35 mm x 45 mm form factor, affordable cost and broad range of integrated sensors and connectivity make it the perfect choice for in-field data collection, rapid prototyping, model evaluation and solution creation.
The PSoC 6 AI Evaluation Kit also uses Infineon’s advanced microcontroller (MCU), sensor and connectivity portfolios and powerful software development environments, including the Infineon ModusToolbox and the company’s Imagimob Studio offering for custom ML models, as well as off-the-shelf Ready Models.

Apple, the EU and the threat of sideloaded applications
A huge shift has just happened in the mobile security landscape: Apple’s release of iOS 17.04 in March 2024 has allowed users to sideload apps and use third party app stores. This has largely been done in an effort to comply with the EU’s Digital Markets Act (DMA). The DMA was introduced by the European Commission in order to help mitigate the domination of silicon valley giants – which the DMA calls “gatekeepers” – over digital markets.
Specifically, the DMA states that gatekeepers, “shall allow and technically enable the installation and effective use of third-party software applications or software application stores using, or interoperating with, its operating system and allow those software applications or software application stores to be accessed by means other than the relevant core platform services of that gatekeeper.”
On one hand, this provides a level of flexibility for apple users which will likely be welcomed. On the other hand, it introduces new risks for those users, their devices and the organisations and individuals to which they are connected.
Why single-use-case IoT solutions are limiting
Early adopters in IoT rushed to market with clever but verticalised solutions with a single-use case. Now, as 100s of thousands of deployments saturate the market, the time to move to a more harmonious IoT ecosystem is today. Kiss the siloed data, lone connectivity and separate device management goodbye. Kaleido Intelligence and Daizy collaborate on this innovative white paper that gives us a glimpse at the future.
This paper covers a range of areas including:
