Connected assets and devices often need to be able to access more than one connectivity technology but this has been difficult for OEMs and developers to enable. Until recently, they have been faced with the choice of specifying expensive combo antennas that combine multiple radio technologies or having to install multiple antennas on their products. […]

LTE Cat 1 bis is a variant of LTE that has been developed specifically to support IoT applications. Introduced within 3GPP Release 13, Cat 1 bis uses existing LTE networks but, critically, has been designed to operate with a single antenna, in contrast to LTE Cat 1 which requires that IoT devices have two antennas. […]

Wi-Fi 6 has attributes that make it far easier for homes and enterprise to connect to new IoT services Wi-Fi 6 represents a substantial uplift in performance over Wi-Fi 5, offering four times higher throughput capacity and the ability to serve multiple devices with different bandwidth needs simultaneously. In addition, Wi-Fi 6 can use both […]

Quectel’s new white paper provides numerous examples of how organizations across sectors are demonstrating how IoT is a force for good IoT is delivering on its promise to build not only a smarter world but a safer, healthier and more sustainable society. A newly-published white paper from Quectel reveals how IoT is impacting society across […]

Application development is key to sophisticated IoT services – QuecOpen helps to do this at speed There’s a development race underway in IoT as companies look to bring new IoT products and services to market. It’s not just a race to be first but also a race to bring the richest features, the greatest functionality […]

We explain the importance of global device certification and how to achieve it All IoT devices require certification in order to be able to join cellular networks and certifications are highly granular, going down to the component level to place certification requirements on modules, as well as the final device to be brought to market. […]

5G mmWave has introduced a new era of high-speed connectivity. Qualcomm, for example, has demonstrated that connectivity speeds on commercial devices can be 16 times faster than 5G operating only in sub-6GHz frequencies. The headline here is that in theory, 5G mmWave is the obvious enabler of a wide range of IoT use cases and […]

A large and still growing range of IoT applications relies on high-precision GNSS to track everything from micro-mobility vehicles to mining equipment, with shipping containers, trucks and other high value items routinely connected. The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is a constellation of satellites that offers coverage in every location, over land and sea, on […]

Design and release IoT products at speed by working with an original design manufacturer (ODM) With billions of devices now connected and tens of billions more poised to enter operation over the coming years, the race is on for IoT organizations to develop appealing new products and service propositions. For some, this will see established […]

QuecPython is a development environment made specifically for the IoT, and makes it possible to develop IoT solutions in under 30 minutes From modest roots, the Python programming language has become widely accepted and is increasingly favoured by IoT developers. As an interpreted, object-oriented, high-level programming language with dynamic semantics, Python’s high-level built-in data structures, […]
