Case Study: Joint IoT Reference Platform Solution Used for Leachate Monitoring

Symmetry Electronics stands alongside industry experts RFMW, Changnam International, Paragon Innovations, and Connected Development in the Exponential Technology Group (XTG). Owned by TTI, Inc., XTG is a collection of electronic component distributors and design engineering firms that collaborate to enable the development of modern technologies. As a member of XTG, Connected Development is a skilled engineering design services firm that specializes in M2M, IoT, and wireless solutions.
Designed by Connected Development, the IoT Reference Platform combines a pre-certified and pre-tested reference design with cloud-based IoT solutions from Kopis, and a cellular connectivity and subscription platform from Zipit Wireless, Inc. The IoT Reference Platform is a powerful engineering solution that enables successful product prototyping and deployment. Aimed at accelerating time to market–the IoT Reference Platform supports customers with size, power, and cost-constrained IoT applications.
In the IoT Reference Platform Enables Landfill Leachate Monitoring case study, Connected Development’s VP of Technology, Dave Hoover, addresses the challenges of successfully implementing industrial-grade IoT solutions. Monitoring leachate (toxic liquid waste that accumulates in landfills) presents an ideal use case opportunity for IoT communications. A leachate monitoring solution for a local landfill was designed and deployed with ease by utilizing the IoT Reference Platform’s extended temperature range components, low power consumption design, and high-performance wireless communications.
While helpful in industrial uses, the IoT Reference Platform can be utilized in a wide range of IoT applications. Key benefits of the IoT Reference Platform include:
- FCC and cellular carrier certified reference design
- Pre-tested software building blocks and cloud service connectivity
- Rapid prototyping using the same components and software used in volume production builds
- Fully customizable designs
- Built-in high-performance security
- Low power consumption
