Renesas Electronics Synergy™ AE-CLOUD2 LTE IoT Connectivity Example

Synergy™ AE-CLOUD2 LTE IoT Connectivity Example is a tool designed to enable rapid evaluation, prototyping, and development of Global LTE IoT Cellular Cloud Connected Applications using the Synergy Platform. Using the AE-CLOUD2 Kit developers can easily connect IoT sensor devices to cloud services using IoT protocols such as Cat M1 and Cat NB1 (NB-IoT), ideal for connecting IoT devices and sensors to 4G LTE Cellular Networks globally. The AE-CLOUD2 Kit is based on the S5D9 Microcontroller, an Arm® Cortex®-M4 Core MCU with floating point unit (FPU). The AE-CLOUD2 Kit enables connection of IoT devices to cloud service providers with minimum effort.

AE-CLOUD2 can be used anywhere in the world as it has support for Cat-M1, Cat-NB1, GSM/GPRS, as well as GPS. The AE-CLOUD2 Kit has global certification including FCC (US), PTCRB (US), Instituto Federal de Tele Comunicaciones (Mexico), CE marking (EU), Radio and Telecom approval (Japan), Info-communications Media Development Authority (Singapore), China Compulsory Certificate (China), as well as various mobile carrier certifications.

Cloud Services

The AE-CLOUD2 Kit can be used to connect to any Cloud provider. The Synergy Enterprise Cloud Toolbox Demo provides a quick and easy way to connect to cloud services from Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud Platform. After using the demo, the Renesas Cloud Application Projects can be used to transition projects to active development.

For those wanting to rapidly create a prototype, the Medium One IoT Prototyping Sandbox provides a quick way to get any IoT prototyping project started quickly.
