| | | Tiny Antennas Support 915MHz ISM and LoRaWAN |
| Antenova has announced a new flexible embedded antenna for small monitoring devices on North America’s 915MHz ISM and LoRaWAN networks. This antenna, named Fera, part no SRFI068, is a flexible printed circuit (FPC) antenna measuring 33mm x 13mm x 0.15mm. FPC antennas do not require a ground plane to function, which is an advantage in small designs where space is tight. |

| | | Module has Cat M1, NB-IoT and GNSS |
| Swedish electronics firm TT Electronics has announced what appears to be its first Linux-powered device. The S-2Connect Creo SoM provides Cat M1 and NB-IoT connectivity as a “future-proof” solution for low-power, long distance wireless in regions where networks are “switching off and sunsetting their 3G and 2G infrastructure,” says TT. |

| | | Compact Arm Gateways Offer Optional CAN and Isolated DIO |
| Vecow is continuing its Arm adventure with two compact, DIN-rail mountable IoT gateways that run Debian on NXP’s power-sipping NXP i.MX6 ULL. The 91mm x 91mm x 32mm AIC-100 and 91mm x 91mm x 47mm AIC-110 are designed for IoT applications. The fanless, rugged AIC-100 and AIC-110 are identical except for the size difference and the AIC-110’s addition of 2x CAN bus 2.0 A/B terminal interfaces and 12x isolated DIO (8x DI, 4x DO). |
