launched the XPort® Pro Lx6 embedded device server. This is an IPv6 offering from the company’s module family for wired IoT deployments. The latest version is a powerful, embedded ethernet networking engine that enables customers to deploy advanced M2M applications in a thumb-sized package. Also exhibiting will be u-blox, which serves markets including fleet and asset management, marine navigation, consumer electronics, as well as industrial M2M and security systems. u-blox 7 is the company’s seventh generation satellite positioning platform, supporting all global positioning standards with extremely low power consumption, boasting the fastest acquisition time on the market. The company also supports satellite-based augmentation systems: WAAS, EGNOS and MSAS. Kontron, a global provider of embedded computing technology, will be there too. The company recently announced its ULP-COM-sAT30 product, which is a rugged and scalable building block for industrial tablets and imagingcentric applications where power consumption must be extremely low such as within the infotainment, digital signage, security & surveillance, medical, and military markets. Another exhibitor, Allis Communications Company (ALLISCOM), designs, manufactures, and markets antenna products to the GPS, GLONASS, WCDMA, and LTE sectors. ALLISCOM will have a range of antennas on show to help with communication and the monitoring of assets in different environments.

Java class Reaching right inside embedded opportunities, Oracle’s Terrence Barr, a senior technologist for mobile and embedded technologies, will deliver a morning Java class, on Thursday 27 February, in which he will delve into ‘Desktop to Internet of Things in 12 Seconds with Java ME Embedded’. Later the same day, during the ‘Security & Cryptography III’ sessions, delegates will also be privy to Barr’s experience and insight with an address entitled: ‘Trust me, I’m an M2M Device’. So, if you’re looking to advance your product or service to the next level from a collective or analytical viewpoint, this event could be your backstage pass to the industry. Around 900 exhibitors, over 22,000 visitors and almost 1,500 congress participants and speakers came together for the embedded world Exhibition & Conference 2013, affirming the organiser’s claims that it is the largest international, and annual, event addressing the whole value chain of embedded system technology. Professor Dr.-Ing. Matthias Sturm, HTWK Leipzig, chairman of the embedded world conference committee, said: "The development of the conferences is extraordinary. Here trends are set and the way paved for future developments. “The smartest minds on the embedded scene from all over the world meet in Nürnberg. They exchange ideas at the highest level and advance the sector with their ideas, developments and innovative products. Safety, security and ultra-low power were the key pioneering themes [in 2013] and were discussed intensively in the halls and at the conferences." Situated in the heart of Europe, in the Bavarian city of Nürnberg, the event is easily accessible by car, rail and air. The venue, the NürnbergMesse, Messezentrum, features two restaurants, a bistro, VIP lounges and offices with daylight everywhere including the show floor.
