Libelium releases the External Battery Module (EBM) to extend the battery life of Plug & Sense!

Libelium has created the new External Battery Module (EBM), which extends the battery lifetime of Plug & Sense! sensor nodes. The extension period may be up to 10 years depending on the sleep cycle and radio activity. The daily charging period is selectable among 5, 15 and 30 minutes with a rotative switch and it can be combined with a solar panel to extend even more the node's battery lifetime. Read more

IoT Security Infographic – Privacy, Authenticity, Confidentiality and Integrity of the Sensor Data. “The Invisible Asset”

Security in the IoT is one the main concerns for municipalities as Smart Cities projects start being a reality. In the next article we will expose what is the security proposal developed by Libelium for its sensor devices and gateways. In the next article we get into the main features of Security analyzed through 5 encryption levels. Read more.

Smart Cars: a practical implementation of M2M communications is becoming a reality ever closer

Machine to machine (M2M) communications, and especially Smart Cars, could help to improve accident prevention. McGill University has developed a pilot to handle remote control cars with Waspmote in order to decrease the number of car accidents caused by human error.

50 Sensor applications for a Smarter World. Get Inspired!

More than 50 billion devices will be connected to the Internet by 2020, but this new connectivity revolution has already started. Libelium publishes a compilation of 50 cutting edge Internet of Things applications grouped by vertical markets.

Wireless Sensor Networks to monitor food sustainability

Given <a href="https://internationalsupermarketnews.com/">recent public alarm</a> at the safety of our food sources, this accuracy of monitoring our food supply during the transport and distribution increases consumer confidence and protects community health and the food industry's integrity. To prevent food insecurity, we require reliable food systems at each stage of the food cycle: from food production and harvesting, during transport and distribution, at the shops we buy at and in the social settings wherever we consume food, and in the management of the resulting bio-waste outputs. Libelium's <a href="https://www.libelium.com/iot-products/waspmote/">Waspmote</a> sensors can be used to monitor and control the whole food cycle.

Wireless Sensor Networks enhancing the efficiency and safety of logistics operations

Management of cargo freight such as sea containers is an essential element of world economic systems. The transport and delivery of goods from continent to continent and between locations on-land enable business growth and facilitate population access to necessary goods and consumer items. However, mismanagement and accidents with transport containers cause significant impact to the economy, individual businesses, workers, communities and the environment. Libelium's <a href="https://www.libelium.com/iot-products/waspmote/">Waspmote</a> sensors can be used to monitor and control logistics operations.

Smart Cities platform from Libelium allows system integrators to monitor noise, pollution, structural health and waste management

Libelium, a technology leader in wireless sensor networks, announces the completion of its <a href="https://www.libelium.com/libeliumworld/libelium-releases-new-iot-smart-cities-platform-enhancing-accuracy-in-noise-level-and-air-quality-pollution-sensors/">Smart Cities</a> platform. A new sensor board measures noise pollution, dust quantities, structural health and garbage levels. This board may be combined in a network with previously available sensor boards - for <a href=https://www.libelium.com/calibrated-air-quality-gas-dust-particle-matter-pm10-smart-cities/">gas monitoring</a>, radiation detection and Smart Parking. System integrators can now create a comprehensive range of services based on the Smart Cities platform.

Wireless Sensor Networks to Control Radiation Levels

The creation of the Radiation Sensor Board has been motivated by the nuclear disaster in Fukushima after the unfortunate earthquake and tsunami struck Japan. We want to help authorities and security forces to measure the levels of radiation of the affected zones without compromising the life of the workers. For this reason we have created an autonomous battery powered Geiger Counter which can read the radiation levels automatically and send the information in real time using wireless technologies like ZigBee and GPRS.

Monitoring indoor air quality with Waspmote to prevent accidents and improve production processes

Many production processes in industry, agriculture, viticulture and livestock require specific environmental conditions to be monitored at all times. Sometimes the process can generate air pollutants that can be harmful and even deadly to workers in certain concentrations. The fact of having a monitoring system with <a href="https://www.libelium.com/iot-products/waspmote/">Waspmote</a> allows to control the parameters of a production process, send alerts via GPRS and even activate mechanisms through the relay actuator included in the prototype board.

New Smart Metering sensor board for Waspmote

The new Smart Metering Sensor Board for Libelium's Waspmote platform enables very high reliability monitoring of 6 parameters for electricity & water supply, logistics and industrial automation.The new board extends the current features by supporting the measurement of the following key parameters: <ul> <li>Electric current</li> <li>Water flow</li> <li>Weight of materials and goods</li> <li>Liquid level</li> <li>Distance by ultrasounds </li> <li>Distance and displacement of an object </li> </ul> Applications include managing the usage of electricity and water, supply chain management and manufacturing.
