What this episode covers

Ian Wiggins introduces Blues SVP Brandon Satrom to discuss the StarNote, a satellite communication accessory for Blues Wireless Note Cards that enables failover connectivity via JSON commands. Satrom explains how StarNote for Skylo lowers the barrier to entry for IoT satellite data by offering prepaid kilobyte-based plans instead of expensive monthly subscriptions, targeting use cases like asset tracking in remote areas. The episode also covers the winner of a Seeed Studio SenseCAP S2104 competition, Embedded World student initiatives, and a deep dive into Zigbee versus Thread protocols by YouTuber Great Scott.

    Tips for Accelerating Your IoT Solution | Blues Wireless' Brandon Satrom

    Brandon Satrom, Vice President of Experience Engineering at Blues Wireless, explains how the company accelerates IoT development by providing embeddable cellular infrastructure like the Note Card and the new Sparrow device cluster solution. He details the transition from complex, developer-hostile cellular modules to JSON-based APIs that simplify integration for microcontrollers like the ESP32 and Arduino. Satrom discusses the strategic choice between connectivity technologies, advocating for LoRaWAN in device cluster applications to reduce BOM costs while using cellular for backhaul, and highlights the importance of solving use cases rather than just selling hardware.
