Wireless connectivity is cheap enough to use in disposable products opening up countless applications for our customers. So, is disposable Bluetooth something less robust than regular Bluetooth? What makes it disposable?

Voice assistants make our lives easier and streamline our relationship with technology. Much of that evolution can be credited to the developments in neural network software and new hardware that allow the use of voice technologies in low-power applications.

With a significantly high demand for COBOL programmers, engineering organizations should focus on hiring for talent and not as much for skills.

"Cardinal Peak has a long history of participating in Community Food Share's Corporate Challenge, but this year we felt compelled to do more,” shared Mark Carrington, CEO. “Due to the pandemic, a lot of families are facing food insecurity for the first time."

In this blog, we describe how to set up and work with a LoRa GPS-tracker node device. Among other functions, these LoRa devices typically keep track of their location via GPS and send data through gateways onto the LoRaWAN network.

In this blog, we document the steps required to set up a gateway from scratch, register it with The Things Network and observe uplink data from a simple LoRa node.

It used to be that storing and retrieving vast amounts of video data was quite challenging. Now, Amazon Kinesis Video offers capabilities to cost-effectively process streaming data at any scale, completely simplifying video and audio data storage.

A Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) is a gate array where static random-access memories (SRAM) based fabric replaces metal interconnections between logic elements. It’s infinitely flexible and doesn’t wear out. Our engineer addresses key FPGA programming challenges, like how to avoid reprogramming the SRAM every time you power up.

This blog presents — and solves using Z-transforms — a trivial difference equation incorporating the much touted variable R0.

As we continue to adjust to the new normal of life during the coronavirus pandemic, we can now begin to draw conclusions about how our lives will be different after we return to work, specifically how the pandemic will impact future technology trends.

While generic IoT platforms sound like a great idea, the problem is these "one-size-fits-all" platforms tend to only deliver about 60% of a typical IoT solution. By the time the remaining 40% of the problem is solved and productized, the solution has actually evolved to a bespoke application for that customer.

Mentoring high school students through innovative and educational mentor-based programs like FIRST enables Cardinal Peak engineers to inspire the STEM workers of tomorrow.
