Certification support can make all the difference in achieving a timely product release To connect to a cellular network, all devices must have carrier certification. For many organizations, this is a long-winded and complex process well outside the traditional sphere of operation and requires substantial time and effort to prepare certification applications. The challenge is […]

Smart modules are bringing greater capabilities than ever before to connected devices. By combining previously distinct functionalities such as computing, graphics processing, data storage and connectivity into a single compact item of hardware, developers can radically simplify their designs and reduce the number of components and vendors involved in a device’s bill of materials. Another […]

Mobile network operators have been open about their plans in relation to 2G and 3G sunsets. These are in various stages of progress across the world as operators migrate users and plan to free up spectrum to support 5G services. For businesses running IoT devices and applications on 2G and 3G there’s a need to […]

With its high speed, low latency, and ability to support substantial device density per cell, 5G has emerged as a foundational technology for both automotive and industrial IoT (IIoT) applications. Benefits span from assisted driving to automated robots, depending on the specific business case and performance requirements. While the 5G market is still in its […]

IoT device optimization means maximum efficiency at minimal cost. Balancing power consumption, low latency, hardware expenses, and connectivity costs is essential for enabling innovative services and products. However, creating new services, whether in environmental monitoring, connected cars, asset tracking, or smart cities, requires eliminating inefficiencies. The vast scale of IoT magnifies even minor deviations from […]

For organizations that utilize tanks for fuel, water, waste liquids and sector-specific substances such as both fresh and used cooking oil, inefficiency is being ended thanks to IoT-enabled remote tank monitoring. The relatively simple addition of a sensor or multiple sensors for different inputs and a gateway to a tank can allow it to communicate […]

GNSS has proven to be a valuable positioning technology but it has inherent weaknesses that hinder its effectiveness in certain scenarios, which are detailed in a new white paper titled ‘How to achieve cm-accurate positioning for mass-market IoT devices‘. Fundamentally, GNSS needs to be able to ‘see’ the sky, so it can receive the direct […]

Wi-Fi HaLow is more than just another iteration of the classic Wi-Fi standard that is now seeing the introduction of high-capacity variants such as WiGig and Wi-Fi 6E. Instead, Wi-Fi HaLow introduces a low power connectivity option that, in contrast to other Wi-Fi options, offers greater range of approximately 1km. This opens up a raft […]
