The Internet of Things (IoT) promises us a more connected, smarter world, but also presents a new set of technical challenges including which technology to pick for which use case. The popular wireless communications methods include Wi‑Fi, Bluetooth low energy and LTE but for those devices that are located in remote or hard to reach areas,…
In less than a decade LTE has transformed mobile communications from a voice‑centric dial‑up service into the high‑speed mobile broadband experience which we now take for granted. To migrate the Internet from our homes to the streets and ultimately into our hands, vast infrastructure overhauls were necessary with unprecedented levels of investment to achieve the…

The Internet has changed almost every aspect of our lives and now the time has come for the Internet of Things. It will connect more devices and impact our lives more than anything ever before. See what u-blox means when we say that we believe the focus should be on the “Internet of Things that…
By Justin Springham – Courtesy of http://www.mobileworldlive.com/ Operator Vodafone promises to roll out NB-IoT tech across “multiple markets” in 2017, a fillip for the low power wide area (LPWA) cellular technology that is facing strong competition from proprietary rivals such as Ingenu, LoRa and Sigfox. Vodafone’s commitment is significant as the NB-IoT standard is not yet fully ratified (expected…
u-blox, a global leader in wireless and positioning modules and chips, in collaboration with Neul has convinced its peers of the need for an extra power class for devices used in Narrowband-IoT (NB-IoT) applications. As a result, a maximum transmit power of 20 dBm has been approved on the occasion of the latest 3GPP RAN…
By Christoph Hammerschmidt – Courtesy of www.automotive-eetimes.com The SARA-U201 from u-blox is currently the smallest cellular module available supporting 2G and 3G. The device is pin and form factor compatible with u-blox’s other region-specific 2G and 3G variants, such as the 2G SARA-G350. Measuring just 16 x 26 x 3 mm, the 96-pin SARA-U201 provides 5-band…
