Targeted at the industrial IoT and maker communities, mangOH Red
is the most feature-rich, lowest power open source enablement
platform on the market. Smaller than a credit card, it includes all
of the building blocks needed to prototype and test ideas in days
instead of months, with minimal investment. mangOH Red designs can
then be modified and repurposed for mass production using its
industrial-grade components and applications developed in the
Legato™ open source Linux platform.
“For IoT commercialization to truly take hold, bringing products
to market needs to be much faster and easier,” said Philippe
Guillemette, Chief Technology Officer, Sierra Wireless. “mangOH Red
is based on feedback from the ecosystem and developer community,
resulting in the most compact, feature-rich open source platform
that can quickly turn concepts into prototypes and prototypes into
products without the need for significant redesign.”
Sierra Wireless founded the mangOH open source hardware program
in 2015 to make it easy for developers to prototype with any wired,
wireless, or sensor technology based on their unique IoT use case.
Following the successful first mangOH Green edition, mangOH Red
focuses on low power and miniaturization, providing a one-stop
technology platform that includes:
- Credit card size form-factor ideal for
rapidly building proof-of-concepts;
- A snap-in socket to add any
CF3™-compatible modules, including wireless modules (2G to 4G &
LTE-M/NB-IoT) to achieve up to 10 years of battery life;
- Built-in Wi-Fi b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.2
BLE with an ARM Cortex®-M4 core to provide real-time access to
I/O;
- Built-in Bosch Sensortec Accelerometer,
Gyroscope, Temperature and Pressure sensors, as well as Light
sensors and a 26-pin Raspberry Pi compatible connector;
- An IoT Expansion Card slot to plug in
any technology based on the IoT Connector open standard;
- Sierra Wireless Smart SIM with up to
100 MB free data, depending on region, and can also be used with
any commercially available SIM;
- Easy connection to the AirVantage® IoT
Platform to create, deploy and manage solutions in the cloud, and
can also connect to other cloud platforms; and
- Ready-to-use product from selected
distributors and complete source design under Common Creative
License.
“Companies developing IoT solutions have an almost overwhelming
number of technologies and providers to evaluate,” said Sam Lucero,
Senior Principal Analyst, M2M and IoT for IHS Markit. “The mangOH
platform aims to simplify this complexity by including elements in
an open ecosystem that are needed to efficiently develop and test
IoT solutions across many use cases.”
mangOH User Testimonials
“The Legato / mangOH forum has been a fantastic resource
allowing interaction with other developers and engineers who are
intimately involved in the project. The learning curve is
exceptionally short. I would highly recommend this platform for use
in commercial projects. It is not a platform for a novice, as could
be said of the Pi/Arduino, but those with intermediate electronic
and programming skills will be able to rapidly develop an IoT
device.”
--Siska Burger, General Manager, Comb
Communications
“With 4G modules, low power capabilities and small form factor,
mangOH Red is a very exciting platform to help us develop
self-driving automobile applications for the H2020 EU funded
project AUTOPILOT, aiming at bringing Autonomous Driving to a new
dimension with the Internet of Things. The flexibility of the open
hardware platform provides a very powerful tool as we develop and
test use cases for the AUTOPILOT project. AUTOPILOT has received
funding from the European Union’s H2020 Framework Programme under
the grant agreement no 731993.”
--Alexandre Petrescu, Research Engineer, H2020
AUTOPILOT Project
“The flexible and intuitive mangOH platform allowed M2MD
Technologies to move through technical design to a working
prototype in record time. As a result of the tools and flexibility
of the mangOH platform, we now have fully operational automotive
applications that we are demonstrating in the marketplace. We look
forward to the mangOH Red’s low-power, production-ready
capabilities to further that effort. I have the mangOH Reds in
hand and they are exactly what I need.”
--Chuck Link, President and CTO, M2MD
Technologies, Inc.
“With mangOH, I have the whole world in the palm of my hands. It
provides perfect open source, industrial grade hardware with a
highly scalable embedded platform. Sierra Wireless mangOH and
Legato open source tools make taking smart sensors to advanced IoT
implementation very simple, secure and cost-effective. We can’t
contemplate our new telematics device without this.”
--Mahapatra Niladridas, Mahindra Electric
"mangOH is a handy tool for IoT projects, with lots of GPIOs and
room for new designs. mangOH was an excellent starting point for
our waste management project. With the improvement to the ARM MCU,
the new smaller form factor and plethora of sensors, I cannot wait
to get my hands on the new mangOH Red."
--Alejandro Ballesta, hardware engineer,
Wellness Telecom
mangOH Technology Providers
“mangOH Red incorporates the best set of features, including
MediaTek’s advanced MT7697 chipset technology, to promote
innovation and new product development for low power industrial IoT
applications. We look forward to collaborating with Sierra Wireless
to get mangOH Red in developers’ hands and see what they will
design to advance the IoT marketplace.”
--YuChuan Yang, Deputy General Manager of
Internet of Things Business Unit, MediaTek
“Orange considers the mangOH platform a key tool for developers.
It helps to quickly prototype devices and applications smartly
connected to Orange 4G IoT networks. The Arduino compatibility
enables users to plug all kinds of shields and sensors very easily
to the platform, which is highly appreciated by developers to
facilitate their prototyping. In the coming weeks, Orange is very
keen to offer our partners the new mangOH Red platform. It will
contribute to testing LTE-M technology in our Open IoT Lab and to
building even more compact devices.”
--Fabien Le Clech, IoT Marketing Project
Manager, Orange
“We are pleased to see the launch of the mangOH open hardware
platforms, along with the WP Series modules from Sierra Wireless
and look forward to working together to help drive innovative
applications and services for the quickly growing IoT industry. The
Qualcomm® MDM9215 system-on-a-chip, powering some of the mangOH
open hardware platforms and WP Series modules, is designed to
support 4G LTE connectivity, GNSS position location, as well as an
integrated A5 CPU. These combined capabilities are designed to
provide developers an advanced toolset to fully utilize LTE
connectivity and compute processing in order to build IoT proof of
concepts quickly.”
--Art Miller, Senior Director, Business
Development, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc.
“The extensibility of the IoT Connectors into the mangOH
platforms really does make it easy for developers to integrate
various wired and wireless local networks, and we are pleased to
see so much variety available to the mangOH community in this very
small form factor.”
--Scott McDermaid, CEO, Talon
Communications
mangOH Distributors
“We have done several successful proof-of-concepts and
developments using mangOH Green and the Legato Linux platform with
customers. The addition of mangOH Red will provide a fast-track to
the IoT for a multitude of new customers and applications. With
small size and low-power focus, as well as its ruggedness, cost
effectiveness and the extended on-board functionality, it will
attract a wide audience. We expect mangOH Red to become a default
in the toolbox of any developer of connected devices for the IoT.
Acal BFi has invested in competence to support mangOH Red from a
hardware perspective and, maybe even more important, from a
software perspective, where we have several years of
experience.”
--Hans Andersson, Sales Manager IoT &
Wireless, Acal BFi Nordic
“We are excited and proud to offer the mangOH Red platform to
engineers around the world. The features, functionality and
flexibility of mangOH Red offer a development and proof-of-concept
tool in an industrial design to make it faster and simpler to
launch their product. The ability to support new connectivity like
LTE-M and NB-IoT in the future on the same toolset gives customers
a lot of freedom.”
