About matttrotter

Hi, I'm Matt.

I build IoT systems on top of AWS. LoRaWAN and cellular (NB1/NB2/NB-IoT & M1) are my protocols of choice. I prefer PostgreSQL, Python, and Asyncio.

    I'd be curious to see what a billionaire could do in this niche. Bezos, Branson, and Musk are doing amazing things in the space race. I'm curious what their teams could come up wit…

    Yeah I see what you’re saying, but there will always be the tech equivalent of the back room whisper - a private and authentic conversation. The platform may change, but it will ex…

    The Swarm Tile looks easily integratable into PCB designs. And, it's very low power. Although, I wonder why they need about 3 Watts power consumption when transmitting. At their lo…

    Amen. Although, if you're on version 931.59.12, then maybe something is wrong.
