Precision Agriculture Needs IoT The current world population of 7.3 billion people is estimated to reach 9.7 billion by 2050. Around 83 million people are added to the global population each year. This growth must be met by corresponding increases in food production. Compared to current yields, agricultural output would have to grow by at […]

In an earlier blog post about just-in-time registration of device certificates, we discussed how just-in-time registration (JITR) can be used to activate device certificates and attach policies to the certificates immediately after the device is auto-registered. JITR triggers a registration event. You must create an AWS IoT Core rule to listen for the registration event […]

At AWS, we work closely with customers to assist them in building various types of IoT solutions. We often hear from customers about the need to manage power consumption appropriately in IoT. In this blog post, we’ll discuss one of the options for achieving lower power consumption while connecting to AWS IoT Core. Specifically, we’ll […]
