Monogoto is bringing tribute to the developers and makers of today. The pioneers who act before they think, who solve problems with their hands and are not afraid to use technology they never used before.

Cellular connectivity is ubiquitous. It’s affordable, it’s global and it’s easy to use. Novel cellular standards such as LTE-M, NB-IoT and LTE Cat 1Bis cater to the need for low-power, low-cost connectivity, ideal for the Internet of Things. As of today, the technologies and tools are available and ready to use. Now it’s up to the makers to start building IoT solutions which tackle today’s global challenges.

Monogoto is hosting the December Build Month - A developer program to support people in building their next cellular IoT project.

What’s included in the Developer Build Month?

Connectivity
A free global coverage Monogoto SIM supporting 2G, 3G, 4G and LTE-M networks, with access to a device management portal.

Types of Network Topology in Computer Networks

A deep dive into the most important network topologies. What are Mesh, Star, Bus, Ring, and Hybrid Topologies?

25 Jun, 2021

For over a decade the proliferation of the number and types of internet-connected devices has driven the rise and the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) computing paradigm. Nowadays, non-trivial IoT applications involve interactions of IoT devices with people and other devices. These interactions are governed by the network topology of the IoT system, which defines how the various components communicate with each other. There are different IoT network topologies, much in the same way there are many ways to structure a computer network. The various topologies have diverse functional and non-functional characteristics and serve different application needs. Specifically, IoT topologies vary significantly in their security, energy efficiency, latency, cost, and reliability characteristics.

IoT engineers need to understand the structure and the operation of the various topologies in order to select the topology that suits best their requirements. Likewise, they must have deep knowledge of the pros and cons of the various topologies to analyze and resolve any relevant trade-offs.

Mesh Topology

A mesh topology comprises multiple IoT devices that connect directly, dynamically, and non-hierarchically to as many other devices as possible. The devices of a mesh network cooperate with one another to efficiently route data from producers to consumers within the network. Specifically, in a mesh network, messages travel from one IoT device to another until they reach their destination (e.g., an IoT gateway). Hence, every IoT device acts as data capture and transmission endpoint, while at the same time operating as a repeater that relays data from other n

A Comprehensive Guide to Understanding Star Topology in Computer Networks

In the world of computer networks, various topologies exist to enable devices to communicate with each other effectively. One such topology is the star topology, which is widely used due to its reliability and simplicity.

1. Introduction to Star Topology

Computer networks have become an integral part of modern-day communication, allowing us to connect and share information with each other from different parts of the world. One of the critical components of a network is its topology, which determines the way devices are interconnected. Among the various network topologies available, the star topology has gained widespread adoption due to its simplicity, flexibility, and scalability. In a star topology, all devices are connected to a central hub, making it easy to add, remove or troubleshoot individual devices without affecting the rest of the network. This blog will introduce star topology, provide a clear definition of its characteristics and discover why the star topology truly shines!

1.1. Definition of Star Topology

Star topology is a type of might be local area network (LAN) in which all peripheral nodes (e.g., computers, servers, printers) are directly connected to a central node, also known as a hub or switch. The name "star topology" is derived from its physical appearance, as the layout resembles a star with the central node at the center and the peripheral nodes extending outwards like rays.

2. Key Components of a Star Topology Network

To fully understand how a star topology network operates, it's essential to become familiar with its key components. In this section, we will delve into the critical elements that make up a star topology network, including the central node, peripheral nodes, and network media.

2.1. Central Node

The central node in star topology, serves as the primary connection point for all peripheral nodes. It is responsible for managing data transmission and communication between these peripheral devices. Depending on the specific requirements of the netwo
