Courtesy of u-blox Super‑E, developed by u-blox, is short for Super‑Efficient: Super-E is an intelligent power mode that reduces overall power consumption without impacting positioning performance. It uses only the minimal resources required for tracking and maintaining an accurate position, as opposed to the full‑power operation, which always tries to maximize positioning performance. https://www.u-blox.com/en/super-e-technology
Courtesy of Nordic Semiconductor Nordic Semiconductor ASA (NOD) today announced that it has started lead customer sampling of its nRF91 Series LTE-M/ NB-IoT low power cellular IoT solution. Oslo, Norway 2017/12/11 As part of the lead customer-sampling program, Nordic has achieved its first approval for operation in live network of a leading cellular operator. Certification testing…
Courtesy of Taoglas Today, device manufacturers developing IoT solutions face the choice of designing upon a variety of wireless technologies. However, it appears, just after the recent 2G sunset, that the 3G sunset in the US may not be too far behind. Carriers have differed in their approach to the transition from 3G to various…
The PPT975-200LP from API Inmet is a low PIM, flanged termination that operates from DC to 4 GHz. It can handle up to 200 W of power, has a resistive tolerance of 5% and a VSWR of under 1.25:1. This termination has been designed to dissipate power in RF circuits when mounted to an appropriate…

Spatium has proven durability and reliability in rugged environments with best-in-class MTTR. This technology improves the range and dependability of transmitters in military aircraft, combat vehicles and naval vessels (http://www.qorvo.com/applications/def…).
Courtesy of u-blox Manufacturers of portable applications, such as smart wearable watches or trackers, have struggled to find the best balance between size and positioning performance in their products. The resulting products are not small enough and not accurate enough, which has led to a lower‑than‑expected adoption rate. In response to this need, u‑blox developed…
