Understand IoT antenna structure to maximize device performance

You can select the optimum connectivity, design-in the ideal balance of computing capability and power consumption and use clever materials to minimize weight and the form factor of an IoT device – but if you neglect the antenna, much of this effort doesn’t translate to real world performance. Poorly sited antennas, the wrong choice of […]

Why GNSS device design demands careful attention

Growing numbers of IoT devices across the globe are relying on GNSS connections to ensure global coverage to maximize device performance – therefore careful attention needs to be given to the design of GNSS devices. Access to multiple constellations and bands needs to be taken into account at the design stage but there are also […]

Why LwM2M demands simpler approaches than MQTT

Message queueing telemetry transport (MQTT) has been a fundamental enabler of integrating IoT devices to the cloud. However, with large-scale IoT projects now in deployment and the increased usage of low power wide area networks (LPWAN) for IoT integration into hyperscale clouds, there are a series of market challenges that mean MQTT is no longer […]

Connected vehicles: how to select 4G/5G network access devices

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 […]

How to test and analyze IP throughput on 5G networks

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 – […]

How to optimize RF performance for 5G connected devices

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 add simplicity and help accelerate IoT deployments

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 […]

Marine and wildlife conservation initiatives rely on IoT to protect endangered species

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 through conservation initiatives. Now-mature technologies such as wireless sensor networks and GPS-enabled monitoring can easily be adopted to track animals and to foster […]
