Walter: small, yet powerful fish in the large pond of IoT connectivity

Have you heard of Walter, the open source, ESP32-S3 based, cellular, GPS and WiFi/BLE module for IoT devices? Let’s talk WAN (Wide Area Network) connectivity for IoT. It’s a large pond with many different actors and options. When you want to connect your devices wirelessly you will need to look at your requirements closely to define the right compromise for your scenario in terms of energy consumption, range, resilience to interference, and more. Cellular is gaining in popularity thanks to NB-IoT and LTE-M making it possible to leverage existing, secure infrastructure already deployed worldwide by operators, but adding cellular connectivity to an embedded design can be tedious and long, unless there was a module offering an almost plug and play solution… Introducing Walter! Daan Pape, co-founder of DP Technics joins me on this new episode of the IoT Show to tell us all you need to know about their new connectivity module.
