Courtesy of u-blox Smart metering is not the most obvious application for next‑generation cellular technology. Utility meters don’t need the high data speeds of up to 100Mbps that are designed for consumer mobile video streaming. The amounts of sent data are small, the speed of transmission is not critical and low power operation is desirable….
Courtesy of www.u-blox.com Increasingly dense urban environments, park houses and multi‑level interchanges pose a significant problem to navigation systems based on the reception of extremely weak satellite navigation signals. As ever more systems (e.g. car navigation, road pricing, fleet management, emergency services, etc.) depend on reliable, uninterrupted positioning and navigation, “3‑Dimensional Dead Reckoning” GNSS, the ability…
Courtesy of u-blox blog – By Patrick Mannion With automobiles generating gigabytes of data, FASTR has a plan to secure that data while ensuring user privacy, but it needs help. In a connected world, very few worthwhile things can happen in isolation, and this is particularly true of automotive security and privacy. That’s why the Future of…
Narrowband IoT (NB‑IoT) is a new way of communicating with the “things” in Internet of Things that was standardized by 3GPP in June 2016. The latest mobile broadband standard, NB-IoT is aimed at devices that need to communicate small amounts of data over long periods in hard-to-reach places. It connects devices through existing GSM and…
