Translation Priority: Optional
As network deployments of both NB-IoT and Cat M continue, designers have a wider choice than ever before when it comes to the connectivity they select for their projects. NB-IoT and Cat M offer compelling advantages for specific types of deployments, with each having unique strengths. However, limitations influence design and global coverage for each must […]
How to combine MCUs, RTOS and modules to optimize application development, with STM and Microsoft Azure
The ever-growing array of IoT applications and use cases places an enormous range of different requirements on devices which include variables such as processing power, memory, peripherals, sensors and actuators. For most IoT devices, it is also important that power consumption is low and the data they transmit, store and collect is secure. Often, this […]
Resolving eSIM complexities will clear the way for mass-market implementation
Despite the embedded SIM (eSIM) being available for consumer devices for a decade, there has been some reluctance among telecoms operators to adopt the technology due to the impact it could have on the relationships with their customers. There are also technical barriers to eSIM implementation; the ability to switch from one network provider to […]
Currency has cashed in its chips – the future is in POS and NFC
The pandemic has signalled the end of cash in many markets, accelerating the trend of using to credit cards and utilize near-field communications (NFC) to pay for goods. This is particularly apparent at the point of sale (POS) where the ease and familiarity of tap-and-go modes of payment has replaced the handling of cash and […]

How to ensure your IoT device design delivers on iSIM’s promise
Integrated SIM (iSIM) brings in a new era of flexibility and choice that is also supported by enhanced security for all types of device. By no longer requiring the installation of physical plastic SIM cards and taking away the need to either install SIMs at the point of deployment or to embed market-specific SIMs in […]
How enhanced GNSS technologies are addressing common satellite connectivity challenges
Conventional GNSS technologies offer the promise of connectivity anywhere on the globe but sometimes with variable performance quality and occasional coverage gaps preventing continuous connectivity. However, enhanced GNSS technologies address many of the common issues with techniques such as dual-band technology and real-time-kinematic positioning (RTK), which vastly improve on the existing drawbacks associated with GNSS. […]
Power management: power is nothing without control in IoT device design
Battery life is one of the most critical constraints for an IoT device – suboptimal power management design that causes excessive power consumption can stimulate several negative effects. First, and perhaps most damagingly, the lifespan of a relatively low value device can be shortened. This is because replacing or recharging a battery causes human interaction […]
