Introduction A benefit of Internet of things (IoT) technology is the ability to connect your devices to the cloud and easily access them from around the world. While this benefit has unlocked many opportunities, it has also has created a major challenge of keeping devices updated. Managing and maintaining a fleet of IoT devices spread […]

Introduction Once Internet of Things (IoT) devices are deployed in the field, on-site intervention can be challenging, expensive, and may not be feasible due to technical and logistical constraints. The ability to perform remote updates on your IoT device software is an important factor that improves your IoT application’s lifespan and operational resilience, provisions the […]

Introduction Dynamically verifiable device identity is a foundational component of a Zero Trust Architecture (ZTA). Ongoing dynamic evaluation of identity and trust requires complete and timely visibility into relevant components of that identity. Active device certificates issued by a revoked intermediate Certificate Authority (CA) can pose a security threat due to the intermediate CA being […]

Introduction We are excited to announce that AWS IoT Core now supports MQTTv5 features that help enhance communications of large-scale device deployments and innovate device messaging patterns. Customers who already have MQTTv3.1.1 deployments can make use of the new MQTTv5 features as AWS IoT Core provides seamless integration between both versions and supports heterogeneous deployments […]

Introduction When devices are deployed behind restricted firewalls at remote sites, you need a way to gain access to those devices for troubleshooting, configuration updates, and other operational tasks. This is where, secure tunneling, a feature of AWS IoT Device Management has been helping customers to do remote tasks. To help elevate customers even further, AWS has […]

Introduction Impacting Food Waste & Food-borne Illness with AWS IoT Core for LoRaWAN Cold-Chain Sensors Innovative ideas and technologies allow us to improve the efficiency and safety of the food industry. In that sense, ConnectedFresh’s IoT solutions provide the ability to continuously monitor food temperatures throughout production, processing, transportation, and retailing. This blog will highlight […]

Introduction Widely adopted Internet of Things (IoT) communication standards for device-to-cloud and cloud-to-device are typically asynchronous, enabling event-driven patterns to ensure resilience, cost savings, and failure tolerance. However, customers across industries need to enable synchronous communication patterns to ensure time-critical logic in their edge devices. Automotive manufacturers, for example, want their connected vehicles to be […]

Introduction The Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem has evolved rapidly over the last several years with an explosion of connected devices and data. This has also resulted in a shift for some customers as they look to evolve and adapt their solutions to match their business needs, or simply transition away from less scalable and […]

Introduction In connect vehicles applications, telemetry data is usually very extensive, containing structure and unstructured data. To send data over to the Cloud you can use Protocol Buffers (Protobuf – binary format). Protobuf provides the application with an efficient yet well structured compressing mechanism. The built-in protocol documentation makes data serialization and deserialization more manageable […]

Introduction In this blog post, we provide recommendations on how you can build resilient Internet of Things (IoT) device applications using AWS IoT Core, AWS IoT Device SDKs, and MQTT protocol. These recommendations cover: managing your MQTT client, publishing and reception of messages, initiating the device application process, setting up the network connection, performing software […]
