Dead Reckoning (DR) traces its roots to ancient mariners using it to approximate their location when they could not see the stars or known features on land. DR was used then, as it is now, as a process for estimating the most recent position of a moving object by referencing a previously known position, and […]

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, […]

No one can escape the requirement that new devices are certified by regulators before they are introduced to market but this is a multi-layered, complex and time-consuming burden that can cause substantial delays to product introduction. The reasons for this are lack of knowledge, failure to recognize the importance of certification and insufficient time being […]

SIM innovations in the forms of embedded SIM (eSIM) and integrated SIM (iSIM) are moving IoT connectivity away from the traditional, plastic SIM and enabling SIM functionality to be integrated into IoT devices at the point of manufacture. The advantage is that IoT deployments can remove the cost of local administration of plastic SIMs and […]
