Southeast Asia is poised for massive growth in smart IoT, with revenues set to reach more than US$50 billion by 2030, according to Statista projections. This growth comes from the high-speed innovation in electronics that is pervasive across the region, growing smart city projects, and the unstinting support provided by government initiatives. In addition, demand […]

A LoRa module enables a device to connect to a LoRa network which is built on the long range, low power wireless communication standard specifically designed for internet of things (IoT) use cases. LoRa is the physical layer technology that provides long-range, low-power radio communication. It utilizes a spread spectrum modulation technique derived from chirp […]

The first step in choosing a Wi-Fi module is to decide which Wi-Fi variant to select. In recent years, the available options have increased substantially, and Wi-Fi should no longer be identified as the wireless home or work reception area connectivity option that it was for previous generations. Certainly, Wi-Fi 5 still provides a cost-effective, […]

Wi-Fi use cases have always been constrained by the coverage area that the technology supports but more options are now available, including Wi-Fi HaLow which offers range of more than one kilometer. The technology combines low power consumption with long range and strong penetration plus high security, making it ideal for a new generation of […]

Smart farming covers a broad range of use cases from simple soil monitors for arable farms to high-precision, connected agricultural machineries and equipment that need to be operated accurately to the centimeter level. Selecting the best module for smart farming is highly dependent on which use case you’re looking to address. A soil sensor might […]

Greater intelligence at the edge places significant additional demands on IoT devices which must now include greater processing power and the ability to support low-latency decision making. This relies on smart modules which encapsulate additional functions that would previously have been handled by separate components, adding cost and complexity to devices. Smart modules bring together […]

Antennas designed for operation in the industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) bands serve a wide range of wireless applications, particularly those requiring low-power, license-exempt communication. These frequency ranges—such as 13.56 MHz, 433 MHz, 868/915 MHz, 2.4 GHz, and 5.8 GHz—are standardized internationally by the ITU-R and adopted regionally with specific regulatory constraints. While originally intended for scenarios other than communication […]

Non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) utilize satellite communication technology to extend the coverage of existing cellular communications resources and to bridge the gaps between fiber and cellular infrastructure. They are composed of network assets on the ground, in the air and in space. These include satellites, low altitude platforms (LAPs), which use fleets of drones to provide […]

Deciding which module to select for asset tracking starts with the attributes of the asset to be tracked. The tracking requirements of a very high value asset that moves internationally are very different to a relatively low value asset, the movements of which are confined to a single site such as a campus or port. […]

Although the era of automated cars seamlessly whisking us from home to work remains years away, much of the foundational effort to enable driverless vehicles and assisted driving is well underway. Importantly, the automotive industry needs to build trust to ensure users are ready to accept various levels of assistance and automation. Underpinning this are […]
