For a few seconds, everyone at the SwissTech Convention Center (EPFL) held their breath as the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket ofSpaceflight SSO‑A: SmallSat Express missiontook off towards low Earth orbit from Space Launch Complex 4E (SLC‑4E) at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, USA.The rocket’s payload included aCubeSat nanosatellite designed byAstrocast, a prototype to test the 64‑satellite constellation the Swiss company intends to s...

Vehicle‑to‑everything, orV2X, is a groundbreaking technology with the potential to dramatically improve road safety, saving thousands of lives each year.Developed and tested over decades, it uses wireless communication to offer vehicles 360° awareness of what’s going on around them, beyond line of sight, and with up to one kilometre range.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is more than the sum of its parts, even if those parts are expected to number in the tens of billions within this decade alone. The size, shape and scope of those things will vary massively, but as a concept the IoT is often presented as smart sensors enabling smarter infrastructure. And in some cases, that is exactly right.

What might tomorrow’s cities look like? To make predictions of the future is to move on treacherous terrain. That’s OK, let’s be bold. The picture above shows acity’s lower airspace is a regulatory greenfield waiting to be conquered by autonomous services, to the benefit of its residents.

The food industry is buzzing with digitalisation in every sense, from the farm to the front page of the online store.With this in mind, u-blox invited Haiao Ding, Associate Chief Editor of the Digital Business Times, to talk with Perry Zhang, Principal, Strategic Partnerships at u-blox, about the impact of digitisation on the food supply chain.

Provider of positioning and wireless communication technologies, u-blox, has announced a successful partnership with Arvento Mobile Systems,, to develop a compact people and asset tracking device with a long battery life. The Arvento Treyki Mini has eight operating modes, including special settings for tracking kids (with Geofencing), senior citizens (with an integrated fall sensor), and for use in sports, racing, and asset management.

In recent decades, the number of traffic fatalities has plummeted, thanks to an increasing number of safety features on board, from seat belts to airbags to new lane keeping assistance systems.But even in the European road network, the safest in the world,over 25,000 people lose their lives every year.In addition, another 135,000 people are seriously injured.

u-blox has announced the results of its collaboration with Korean broadcast media company MBC. With assistance from u-blox, MBC has launched an ultra-compact L1/L2 Real Time Kinematic (RTK) multi-band device, the MBC MRP-2000,featuring a u-blox ZED-F9Phigh precision GNSS module. The solution is the first to offer the Korean market a GNSS RTK receiver and wireless access to a GNSS correction service in a single box.
