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: These attributes have […]

Discover more about how to enable LTE and your application on a single chip with QuecOpen, minimizing the number of components needed One of the greatest impacts on IoT device design, performance and cost is the number of components that are required in each device. Each additional component adds cost, takes up space and has […]

Laptops and PCs have been shipped for decades with Wi-Fi connectivity but original equipment makers (OEMs) are increasingly adding cellular modules as users seek ubiquitous mobile coverage and organizations focus on ensuring remote workers have maximized connectivity options available. Joe O’Connor, VP PC OEM Sales, Quectel Wireless Solutions explains why cellular is finding favour and […]

IoT innovators work in a global market with products and services developed to meet the needs of worldwide industry, ecosystems, goods, humans and more. However, there are significant regulatory, cultural and market differences between nations and regions and these often demand localized approaches because global products are not suitable for all aspects of IoT. The […]

There is now significant global development behind cellular vehicle-to-everything (C-V2X) technologies which are bringing together the automotive and cellular industries to make the future of connected cars a reality. However, further development of the ecosystem, standardization and ubiquitous high bandwidth cellular coverage globally are still required to bring the complete dream to fruition, write Manfred […]

The LTE 450MHz band has been a long-term option for applications that demand large area coverage. As a low frequency originally designated to 2G networks, it has had a long heritage of performing worthy tasks, such as providing the connectivity for emergency calling networks and connecting the earlier generations of smart meters. However, as 2G […]

John A Larkin, Publisher, Automotive Industries Autonomous driving technologies have been gaining traction over the past few years. Combined with this trend is the move away from traditional combustion engines to electric vehicles from renewable energy sources. Other changes that are emerging are the shifting user expectations and behaviours that are influencing next-gen vehicle design. […]
