The new pioneering LARA-R3121 from u-blox is a medium data rate LTE module with u-blox proprietary UBX-R3 LTE modem technology and intergrated GNSS. The LARA-R3121 LTE module comes in a small LGA package, making it easy to integrate in compact designs. It is optimized for low latency applications using LTE networks where high data rates…
Low power wide area network NB-IoT smart meter will be demoed by the end of this year at the Parque das Nações, in Lisbon, as part of the Horizon 2020 UPGRID project Courtesy of www.wireless-mag.com The first electrical energy smart meter, using 4.5G NB-IoT communication technology, has been successfully tested, Huawei announced today (16 November 2016)….
Courtesy of www.epdtonthenet.net u-blox demonstrated its new LTE Cat 1 technology as well as Wi-Fi and Bluetooth gateway connectivity alongside live demonstrations at electronica. First to be featured was u-blox’s own UBX-R3 LTE Cat 1 modem technology platform, as it is used inside the LARA-R3 module. The module is central in a representative use-case demo of…
Courtesy of www.iot-now.com Of course, connected devices will require robust, secure communications at every point in the chain, from sensor nodes to the cloud and back again. This is where a plethora of wireless positioning and communications technologies come into play. Global navigation satellite system (GNSS) are becoming more accurate, partly due to data fusion techniques…
Courtesy of www.iot-now.com Diego Grassi, senior manager Market Development, at u-blox We are told that the connected city is going to be a smarter city, but what does “smarter” actually mean in this context, and how will cities be connected? We don’t yet have all the answers to these questions, but public authorities, businesses, academic institutions,…
High precision positioning can be achieved by combining Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), such as GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou, with Real Time Kinematics (RTK) technology. RTK is a technique that uses the receiver’s measurements from the phase of the signal’s carrier wave. These measurements combined with corrections from a local “base” station or virtual…
Courtesy of www.mikroe.com 3G SARA click is a mikroBUS™ add-on board with the smallest UMTS/HSPA cellular modem available today – the u-blox U201, from the award-winning SARA series. The board has everything you need to add 3G to your devices and make them respond and react to phone calls and messages – or send/receive data at speeds…
The NEO-M8P module combines the high performance u-blox M8 positioning engine with u-blox’s Real Time Kinematic (RTK) technology. The NEO-M8P provides cm-level GNSS performance designed to meet the needs of unmanned vehicles and other machine control applications requiring high precision guidance. www.u-blox.com/en

There’s Bluetooth IEEE 802.15.4 (ZigBee, Thread, Wireless Hart and others), Z‑Wave, and of course Wi‑Fi, with all its various flavors. Sorting…
www.u-blox.com Whether it’s called the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) or Industrie 4.0, the sensing, communication and analysis of data toward improving processes and outcomes is transforming industries from manufacturing and healthcare to transportation, fleet management, mining and agriculture. While much of the attention has been place on acquiring as much raw data as possible,…
