LTE – turning the tables on cable

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 low‑latency, real‑time and high bandwidth service we now so heavily rely up...

IoT and the four reasons why licensed spectrum technologies have been worth the wait

Several wireless technologies have emerged to enable the huge array of IoT applications that are set to explode. And while there are many differences between them, they can roughly be separated into two discrete groups: proprietary solutions operating in an unlicensed spectrum and those operating in a licensed spectrum. Here we take a quick look at these and examine some of the key reasons why it is worth waiting for licensed spectrum standards.

The Internet of Things that really matter

Early examples of the “potential” of the Internet of Things (IoT) patently failed to inspire enthusiasm worthy of (what has been rightly termed) the fourth industrial revolution. Prefixing everyday items with “smart” quickly became ubiquitous, with “smart” toasters and kettles negating the apparently now unacceptable effort of journeying far into one’s kitchen and manually flicking a switch.

How V2X can make our cars smarter and our streets safer

Imagine a world where you never have to sit in traffic, because your car automatically finds the best path to get to your destination. Where your car diagnoses itself when something goes wrong and points you to the nearest qualified service station. Where your car gets better gas mileage because you barely spend any time waiting at red lights. Where cars actively communicate between themselves to prevent collisions before they can happen.
