As the automotive industry continues to mature, adding more connected vehicles continuously, it’s important to keep looking ahead. Vehicles, in contrast to many other items of hardware, have long active lifespans so car makers are focused a long way ahead in terms of planning their future products. How to do this effectively was a key […]
The promise of 5G is increased speed and capacity through extended mobile broadband (eMBB), but significant challenges exist in terms of spectrum availability which broadly divides 5G deployments into Sub 6GHz and mmWave bands. In 3GPP Release 15, FR1 describes the sub-6GHz spectrum while FR2 describes the range above 24GHz which extends to 100GHz – […]
Everyone understands that 5G will bring with it a huge uplift in speed and capacity as well as device density per cell to support massive IoT. 5G is fundamentally changing the way we communicate, delivering improved latency and throughput. These benefits, plus network slicing, are just a few ways in which 5G will transform life […]
Smart modules are coming together with massive cloud computing and processing power that, thanks to wireless connectivity, can be accessed wherever it is needed thereby empowering IoT applications, removing technical limitations and accelerating time to market. Smart modules are a further piece in the IoT puzzle that simplifies and speeds up deployments. By providing the […]
Many of the most popular commercial applications in IoT have introduced capabilities that are finding applications in conservation and are being used to help to protect and manage marine and wildlife populations. Now-mature technologies such as wireless sensor networks and GPS-enabled monitoring can easily be adopted to track animals and to foster better understanding of […]
The pace of IoT development means that even in a global industry, being geographically close to customers is essential. Having the capability to respond rapidly to customer needs is reliant on having presence in the same time-zone and with a common language. Functions such as rapid prototyping and software and antenna customisation can be handled […]
The socio-economic benefits of IoT are becoming increasingly clear as deployments yield results, either in the form of improved efficiency or in additional revenue. Wealth creation on one hand is creating a higher standard of living for world populations while automation is increasing efficiency while also removing dangerous and unpleasant tasks from the world of […]
The pandemic highlighted a new range of remote capabilities that enable education to be disseminated more widely, with distance learning and remote classrooms keeping children in at least some form of education while lockdowns continued. This has helped to highlight how technology in general and IoT in particular can enable better, deeper experiences and bring […]
Voice over LTE (VoLTE) is a well-established technology, introduced alongside LTE to support voice services. The technology has six key attributes that make it attractive for use in deployments that require some element of voice communication. These make VoLTE an adaptable, high quality yet easy to utilize technology. The six attributes are: VoLTE offers greater […]
