Early Fire Detection Design Model for Smart Cities: Using AWS IoT and ML Technologies
Introduction The National Fire Protection Association records over one million fires each year. These fires rank as one of the top threats to urban safety in the United States. Currently, fire departments largely rely on traditional fire detection systems composed of in-home smoke detectors, fire call boxes, and public notification (calls) to receive their alerts. […]
Use location data with AWS IoT Device Management to monitor and manage your IoT fleet
AWS IoT Device Management’s location indexing and geoquery feature allows you to search for devices based on their last reported location. You can list devices that are located within a specific geographic area, perform a proximity search relative to a reference location, implement targeted over-the-air (OTA) updates, derive location-specific device performance insights, and identify devices that are no longer in a desired geographic boundary. In this blog, you will learn how to get started with indexing location data and using geoqueries to support your day-to-day IoT fleet management operations.
AWS IoT Core now supports private certificate authorities with fleet provisioning
Introduction Today, AWS IoT Core announces the general availability of self-managed client certificate signing for AWS IoT Core fleet provisioning. The new self-managed certificate signing capability allows you to integrate with an external certificate authority (CA), your own public key infrastructure (PKI), or popular CA services such as AWS Private CA, to sign certificate signing […]
Device onboarding to AWS IoT using Virtual Private Cloud endpoints
Introduction If you operate secure private networks—such as an assembly line’s operational technology (OT) network at a factory or government agency—and intend to connect your devices to AWS, then you need to use X.509 client certificates for authenticating requests to AWS services—all while staying within the Virtual Private Cloud (VPC). In this post, we will demonstrate how […]
