When building a smart home security solution, an essential aspect is considering how to make sure that it is not easily outdated. Here are some of the main strategies that will help future-proof your solution.

Onics is participating in the HESTIA research project that aims to encourage consumers to change the way they use energy in order to make it more efficient, flexible, and beneficial. The project gives Onics the opportunity to test products in a real use case.

Zigbee low-power radio link technology will enable communication between the Ingenuity drone and Perseverance roved which successfully landed on Mars on the 18th of February. This will be the first drone flight on any planet beyond Earth.

2020 has proven to be a groundbreaking year for IoT, with IoT connections accounting for 54% of all connections worldwide, thus surpassing non-IoT connections for the first time. The IoT uptake is largely driven by cellular IoT and LWPA networks.

With more than 560 certified devices launched in the last year, Zigbee solidifies itself as one of the most popular communication technologies for IoT systems. The increasing adoption rate of this protocol, opens larger opportunities for businesses to deliver reliable, secure, and interoperable solutions.

American solution providers can now benefit from the FCC-certified 2nd generation Squid.link gateway and quickly build an IoT solution in their own brand.

We warmly welcome our new supply chain team member Jan Pedersen, who will help us meet the ever-increasing demand for IoT products as a MasterData & PTA coordinator.

The Squid.link gateways are now certified with AWS IoT Core, a managed cloud platform that enables you to connect devices to a cloud in an easy and secure way. With AWS, you can launch cloud-based IoT solutions obtaining a short time to market.

Onics launches the Vibration Sensor which detects and reports vibration levels. With 15 different pre-set sensitivity levels, this small inobtrusive device can benefit solution providers in various business areas.

The completion of the RESPOND project shed light on the importance of home automation and educating the general user about their electricity consumption to successfully implement demand response strategies.

IoT systems have large potential for integration in the smart home care area. The INCOM Project Lab has devised a IoT enabled hand sanitizer dispenser, implementing Onics' devices, to ensure automation of and compliance with current hygiene regulations.

Becoming a partner in the RESPOND project has given Onics a new opportunity to test their devices in real-life settings. Moreover, receiving user feedback has proven invaluable for the improvement of the smart products. 

The rapidly changing IoT industry offers huge potential for the building management sector. Smart building solutions that include a 2nd generation Squid.link gateway can enable remote control and monitoring of buildings, improve energy monitoring, reduce energy consumption, and facilitate maintenance for building managers.

As populations age and declining workforces become more apparent, the close relationship between technology and healthcare has the potential to transform how care is provided. The IoT can play a major role in this, and a mature and powerful platform like a 2nd generation Squid.link gateway is needed to facilitate better data collection. 

The Squid.link 2X is part of the 2nd generation Squid.link. is a highly powerful multiprotocol gateway suitable for large scale IoT solutions. Its powerful CPU enables solution providers to run complex applications, such as artificial intelligence-based applications, or multiple applications at the same time.
