Avnet Silica offers Miromico support for Microsoft Azure Sphere's LoRaWAN Gateway. The new LoRaWAN gateway seamlessly integrates the Microsoft Azure Sphere platform, which allows monitoring, tracking, and managing data in almost any environment, from buildings to factories, hospitals, agricultural and retail applications, and smart cities. The gateway integrates qiIO's platform and supports cellular, Wi-Fi and Ethernet connections for easy deployment and automatic management.
Ensuring the security and smooth operation of these gateways has been a major challenge. However, The Azure Sphere platform allows operators in these areas to rest easy. First, it helps protect gateways from threats by providing multiple layers of security, thereby avoiding the risk of network attacks. It can also be deployed in adaptive ways to protect existing devices and build protection in new iot infrastructure developments. In addition, error reporting and automatic security update services enable users to stay ahead of current and evolving threats.
Second, the platform also provides guaranteed maintenance for the gateway throughout its operating life cycle, automatically handling security maintenance tasks, including daily hardware and software certification. Tight integration between the platform and gateway hardware provides fail-safe mechanisms for OTA updates, enabling customers to upgrade gateways remotely without fear that a failure during the upgrade will make gateways inaccessible.
