ROADTEST POLL: Would You Be Interested Wi-Fi connectivity module used for simpler way to IoT cloud services?

rscasny
rscasny over 2 years ago

imageI'm planning a roadtest on this product in the Fall. I'd like to gauge your interest in roadtesting it.

Here's some information about the product:

The AIROCTm IFW956810 single-band Wi-Fi 4 CCM evaluation kit features a configurable Wi-Fi connectivity module that provides a simple, secure, plug-and-play solution for connecting products to IoT cloud services. This product also integrates Infineon’s CIRRENT cloud solutions to make connected products easier to use, more reliable, and more secure.

Here are some features:

  • Evaluation on PC to experience connecting to cloud using simple command set
  • Compatible with AWS IoT ExpressLink
  • On-board antenna
  • Firmware is pre-installed (OTA updates supported)
  • Serial interface to development systems

Here are some key benefits:

  • Allows evaluation of CCM modules without simple AT commands from a PC
  • Allows development of customer applications using the CCM module.

What the sponsor is looking for?

The sponsor is looking for roadtesters that don't have a lot of background in Wi-Fi. They believe you do not need much of a background and it's quick and easy to connect. That's what they want tested.

7/31/23- I asked the sponsor about this since there were some questions.

They responded:

"We are targeting customers who have little experience creating connected products and that spans Wi-Fi, networking, security, and cloud services."

Here are some documents:

    I definitely qualify as not having much Wifi experience, but I am not sure about doing a road test.

    I would have thought that they would be looking for someone who has little experience connecting products to IoT cloud services rather someone who has little experience of WiFi itself, as this kit is aimed…

    Hi rscasny and all roadtestes. WiFI is never easy and connecting to Cloud services is a great challenge. I have worked with EVK's that have WiFI capibilities and have sucessfully connected to Azure IoT…

    Do you have a link that describes "Infineon’s CIRRENT cloud solutions"? I never have heard of CIRRENT, and searching for it seems to be nearly impossible. Google is convinced I mean "current" and not "cirrent."

    I did find "CIrrent Cloud ID," but that only covers authentication and chain of trust. I imagine there has to be more to their solution than that.

    And what is meant by "background in Wi-Fi?" Do they want someone to explore how to connect the device to a Wi-Fi network? Or someone to explore how to communicate with a cloud server? I feel like those are two very different tasks.

    I had the same question about CIRRENT. The  following link has a short video titled

    Setting up cloud connectivity manager

    with information: https://www.infineon.com/cms/en/product/evaluation-boards/airoc-ccm-kit/

    it looks like CIRRENT is a name for their cloud based account.

    Thanks for the link, Frank. Strangely, the video next to it is named "AIROC Cloud Connectivity Manager." And CIRRENT has only one mention on that page.

    Maybe it is just me, but I have this growing feeling that this is a poorly implemented IoT strategy loosely based on a dev board (that probably won't be supported a few months from now.)

    It doesn't seem like a cohesive product offering, which might make for an interesting Road Test.

    Great questions. My first meeting with Infineon addressed the profile of the roadtesters they desired. Let me contact them.

    Infineon saw your links today and thought they were good. Infineon also added:

    "Cirrent is an Infineon brand for various SW analytics tools and services.

    The last one, Cloud ID, and an onboarding app are mentioned in the Getting Started Guide and can be directly used during the CCM product roadtest. It’s good feedback that people find this confusing. One thing to note is that Cloud ID is an optional feature. It is intended to facilitate the management of certificates from the factory floor to the cloud provider."

    Infineon is a bit like that, sometimes you have to jump into hoops to find some info.
