It's challenging to explain what firmware engineering entails since it resides in a niche space that bridges hardware and software. However, consider this astonishing fact: High-end cars like the Mercedes-Benz S-Class contain over 10 million lines of code, all of which are processed by up to 100 microprocessors networked throughout the car. This immense amount of firmware-based coding powers everything from engine management systems to advanced safety features.

As IoT applications become more prevalent in our everyday lives, satellite IoT is a rapidly growing industry. With over half a million New Zealand businesses connected to some form of IoT and approximately 13.1 billion connected devices world-wide (42 billion installed and unconnected), it is not surprising that some form of global coverage will be a necessity in the future.
Tranmission Gully Motorway
By Jason Cleland - Senior Engineer and Project Manager 04 Aug, 2022
The Transmission Gully Motorway has a ‘first of its kind in NZ’ radar system. This system enables the operations team to respond to events immediately, 24/7, and uses radar sensors to monitor the motorway at all times for incidents which require a response. The system has 100% coverage of the 28 km motorway, which could quite possibly make Transmission Gully one of the safest stretches of motorway in New Zealand.

The global chip shortage of 2020 - 2022 is an on-going problem affecting many industries and businesses. Those affected may not even be in manufacturing, but could be anyone who relies on modern technological devices.

To say that we are passionate about technology at Beta Solutions is an understatement! We keenly follow new technology developments and often have lively debates on the merits of such technologies over our morning coffee. The most fun part however is thinking up ways how these new technologies could take our clients’ products to the next level. That being said, we are also very aware of the value of tried and trusted technologies and the risks of incorporating leading edge technologies in product development projects. To this end, we sometimes do internal research projects first to gain knowledge and experience on a new technology that we think may be of particular value to many clients. Below are 5 intriguing technologies that we would like to highlight for you. 1. Lithium-metal Batteries
