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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

As the IoT grows at pace, the industry must adopt sound IoT hardware design principles to produce capable, cost-effective products IoT applications and services are increasingly reliant on optimized hardware to perform as expected within the constraints of cost, dimensions, power consumption and security. Developers therefore are under even more pressure to design hardware that […]

High-precision GNSS provides the capability to accurately and precisely locate devices and enable them to communicate. The technology has evolved to deliver centimeter-level accuracy so users can easily locate devices such as e-scooters and companies can ensure their devices and equipment can operate in geo-fenced areas and comply with regulations. Enabling increased efficiency, improved safety […]

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 […]
