To enable sensors and actuators to be directly connected to the cloud, Arrow Electronics e Shiratech announced the launch of the IoT Box, a multi-purpose IoT edge node and gateway solution, developed in collaboration with STMicroelectronics (ST). Possible uses of this product include air quality monitoring, safe/smart city, voice sensing, home appliances, smart edge nodes and industrial gateway applications. IoT Box is part of Shiratech and Arrow's iCOMOX family of industrial IoT solutions.

IoT Box features

At the heart of the IoT Box is Stinger96, a single board gateway based on the 96Boards IoT Edition specification, which is coupled with a proprietary mezzanine board to provide more wireless connectivity and sensor options. The IoT Box is battery-powered to simplify deployment in areas where main power may be inaccessible or have high access costs, and operates with Yocto Linux.

Stinger96 is designed around ST's STM32MP157 microprocessor, based on two Arm® Cortex®-A7 cores and one Arm Cortex-M4 core. The board supports LTE Cat-M1, NB-IoT and EGPRS wireless connectivity with data rates up to 375/300 kbps uplink and downlink respectively. It features global frequency bands, GPS and has very low power consumption. Hardware connectivity includes micro USB, micro SD and micro SIM. The Stinger96 card is available separately for users who wish to develop their own gateways.

The IoT Box utilises the functionality of the Stinger96, adding 802.11b/g/n WLAN connectivity up to 65 Mbps and Bluetooth v4.2+EDR. It features an ultra-low power digital gas sensor for indoor air quality monitoring and two high performance digital MEMS microphones. The IoT Box also offers a choice of GPIO and sensor interfaces including I2C, SPI and UART, as well as a rechargeable 2000 mAH Li-ion battery.
