Read further to know the challenges faced and how the team executed the system. M2M Solution for Cellphone Tower Monitoring​ Customer Requirement: System to monitor several parameters such as, temperature, smoke, power source, door open, diesel level etc. in the cell phone tower and remotely monitor them through cloud. The system should monitor and raise alarm when the values exceeded the threshold limit; it should send a text message to the authorities. Challenges: The main challenge in designing the system started with the electrical & electronics and high noise with ESD & EMI signals. It was very important to design the system in such a way that it could interact with the sensors and at the same time, should not be affected by radiated or conducted electromagnetic disturbance. The system cable faced high ESD & EFT injections & the temperature had to be maintained under 25° to power up the system. Approach: e-con Systems designed an architecture based on eSOMiMX6 system on modules that is highly reliable. The system was proposed to extract the information about the tower & communicate the same with cloud. Amazon cloud based web services was used on the cloud side to monitor various parameters & to send the alerts. Base board implemented with eSOMiMX6 interacted with all sensors, collected the information and same would be transmitted via a GPRS unit or Ethernet or wireless unit. Depending on the availability, system selected one path & EMI/EMC/ESD events protected the path of information collection. Power saving modes was designed keeping in mind product power consumption & the total power used when running in diesel generator. The product was tested in-house with simulated tower environment for 2 weeks (24/7) continuously. All issues were identified and addressed. e-con Systems worked with the customers at all levels to get the necessary certification approval. Conclusion: Customer is now successfully selling the robust product in the market. The tower monitoring business is now highly profitable as breakdowns were brought down to nearly zero

iWave has now enabled the new Hotspot feature in Android ICS 4.0.4 on iMX6 Qseven board. Internet Sharing is one of the most popular concepts in wireless communication today. A device having Data Pack can share its internet connectivity with other devices, this feature is known as 'Hotspot'. By enabling Hotspot in i.MX6 Q7 evaluation board we can use the board an Access Point. Once the Device is enabled with Hotspot, all other devices (we'll call it as client devices) within the minimum coverage range will get Network SSID in their Available wireless network's list. Once connected, client devices will be provided with the internet access. Android allows tethering only if the device is provided with mobile data pack or through Ethernet. So, the Board is connected to internet using Ethernet. As security is the major consideration in wireless communication, Hotspot feature is provided with following security modes. WPA2-PSK is more secure -                      (i)Open, (ii)WPA-PSK and (iii)WPA2-PSK Implementation of Non Standard Android feature – Simultaneous Wi-Fi Station-Hotspot modes: Basic android architecture does not support simultaneous operation of Station mode and Hotspot. Now iWave is providing support for simultaneous working of Station and Hotspot, which allows sharing the available Wi-Fi connectivity, with its client devices. This feature supports, Device(iWave iMX6 Qseven development board) works as a Wi-Fi Access Point(Standard android feature) Device works as a Wi-Fi Client (Standard android feature) Device works simultaneously as a Wi-Fi AP and a client(Non-standard android feature) A Wi-Fi mobile or tablet connects to Device's Access Point(AP) Device (As a client) connects to a public AP Device bridges the two connections and enables the Wi-Fi mobile to connect to the public AP Board acts as an Access Point by enabling Hotspot feature. Then the board will act as client by switching on Wi-Fi feature and connecting to an Access Point which is connected to internet. Pros and cons: Pros: Internet connectivity sharing is possible. Hotspot is provided with Open, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK security modes. Network range is up to 10m. Device can act as station and as SoftAP simultaneous.
