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…

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,…
