Multi-radio devices are increasingly vital for ensuring reliable connectivity because they rely on more than one technology to ensure resilience. With critical communications gaining greater attention and more and more connected devices depending on uninterrupted connectivity, multi-radio devices have become a crucial factor for the success and profitability of many connected applications. When service interruptions […]

Real-time kinematic (RTK) positioning is a technique that has been designed to counteract signal errors in global navigation satellite system (GNSS) positioning and to enable IoT and other devices to achieve far greater positioning accuracy than other means allow. RTK is necessary because standard GNSS positioning identifies a device’s position by measuring the time of […]

Always essential but often overlooked, certification can make or break a product’s launch. If certification is neglected or left until the last minute, the time it takes to prepare documentation and the processes of certifying authorities can result in lengthy delays, allowing competitors to get to market first in extreme cases. What’s needed is a […]

With more than 1.8 billion smart meter connections forecast to be in use by 2027 according to a study by Juniper Research, cellular and low power IoT connectivity is being deployed to connect meters and enable secure, robust data transmission. There is a range of choices for organizations deploying smart meters and much depends on […]

Fixed wireless access (FWA) offers significant cost advantages in contrast to deployment of fiber networks, but FWA devices face a series of challenges in order to deliver robust, optimized network performance to end users. As a wireless technology, FWA can be impacted by environmental factors such as surrounding objects or weather conditions that can affect […]

5G reduced capability – RedCap – has the potential to offer IoT devices the best of both worlds in the form of fast, if not full-5G, network speeds with 5G features such as network slicing and advanced positioning. 5G RedCap is therefore positioned to offer developers important 5G features for as much as 80% below […]

Quectel’s RTK Correction Solution enables cm-level accuracy across five continents Precise location positioning is a fundamental requirement for IoT applications from robotic lawnmowers to ride-sharing vehicles to accurate asset tracking and safety applications. To ensure accurate positioning, vast numbers of devices have adopted global navigation satellite system (GNSS) positioning which provides an excellent solution for […]

IoT deployments now have access to more connectivity options than ever before. Typical selections now include not only the Gs of the cellular industry but sub-categories such as LTE Cat 1, narrowband-IoT and 5G RedCap. Each technology brings a new blend of performance and cost so LTE applications can match the connectivity with their use […]

RF Tx/Rx theory is highly complex and years of independent study are needed to achieve mastery of all the details of how electromagnetic variables can affect different application scenarios. RF Tx/Rx refers to the technical theory underpinning transmission and reception of RF (radio frequency) signals. The RF spectrum includes electromagnetic framework frequencies ranging from 30Hz […]

Python is highly portable programming language that can run on various software and hardware platforms. Programs written in Python do not need to be compiled into binary code in advance; they can be executed directly from the source code and this greatly simplifies development, accelerating time to market. In addition, Python has extensive and powerful […]
