QuecPython is a development environment made specifically for the IoT, and makes it possible to develop IoT solutions in under 30 minutes From modest roots, the Python programming language has become widely accepted and is increasingly favoured by IoT developers. As an interpreted, object-oriented, high-level programming language with dynamic semantics, Python’s high-level built-in data structures, […]

No one can escape the requirement that new devices are certified by regulators before they are introduced to market but this is a multi-layered, complex and time-consuming burden that can cause substantial delays to product introduction. The reasons for this are lack of knowledge, failure to recognize the importance of certification and insufficient time being […]

SIM innovations in the forms of embedded SIM (eSIM) and integrated SIM (iSIM) are moving IoT connectivity away from the traditional, plastic SIM and enabling SIM functionality to be integrated into IoT devices at the point of manufacture. The advantage is that IoT deployments can remove the cost of local administration of plastic SIMs and […]

5G has been steadily rolling out in markets across the world for several years now and has reached critical mass in many geographies today. The combination of radically increased bandwidth, decreased latency and greater device density per cell all make 5G highly appealing for IoT applications. However, challenges remain in terms of the potential costs, […]

We explain why and when you should choose 5G RedCap Until now, the hype around 5G has been about its high speed and low latency, but the real deal is that 5G is a new and expensive technology that is out of reach for many IoT use cases, even where coverage is available. 5G reduced […]

New Python-based environment enables developers to programme IoT products in as little as 30 minutes The Python programming language is being increasingly widely-adopted to empower IoT organizations to accelerate their product development. Old approaches are too slow and cumbersome but by allying the simplicity of Python with a simple-to-use python-based environment such as Quectel’s QuecPython […]

All IoT devices require certification in order to be able to join cellular networks. However, certifications are highly granular, going down to the component level which places certification requirements on modules, as well as on the final device to be brought to market. The situation is made more complex because IoT devices typically are intended […]

Mechanical and environmental considerations for IoT antennas are crucial when selecting the right model for your device – to treat these as an afterthought is time-consuming, costly and complicated to retrospectively adapt. Key considerations include which cables, connectors, glues, plastics, housing and radomes to use and there are basic factors such as the size, shape, […]

The closer we get to a smarter world – where services across the globe are connected as a matter of course – the more teasing becomes the question of how much smarter we can make it. Greater smartness will mean enormous intelligence and capability layered on to the basic infrastructure of connected, smart devices. These […]
