Next-gen V2X transceiver for ADAS applications
Designed to accelerate the development of safer and more automated vehicles, u-blox has announced the VERA P1 series, the latest in its range of V2X modules. The goal of developing safe and reliable self driving cars can only be realised through technology. The automotive industry, governments and standards bodies all agree it will require vehicles to be in constant contact with other vehicles and their surroundings, known respectively as Vehicle...
High precision RTK GNSS module featured in drone navigation kit
HEX Taiwan’s new drone navigation kit: Here+, now features u blox's NEO M8P high precision RTK GNSS module. HEX is an open source hardware manufacturer which produces open source drone autopilots.The Here+ RTK GNSS kit is supported by Ardupilot out of the box. It consists of a round rover designed to be mounted on the drone and is connected to the flight controller using the supplied 8 pin CLIK-Mate connector (for the autopilot Pixhawk2) or...
Collaboration drives forwards V2X technology
In order to address the rapidly growing demand for reliable Vehicle to Vehicle (V2V) and Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) technology,u-blox, Commsignia and NXP Semiconductors have announced a strategic collaboration.The adoption of V2X technology in North America and European markets equips new vehicles with the ability to securely and anonymously share information with other similarly equipped vehicles, infrastructure and even pedestrians within ...
Why does Smart Metering need next‑gen cellular technology?
Not being the most obvious application for next-generation cellular technology, smart metering can be beneficial.Utility metres 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.
Compact RPMA module for the Machine Network
One of the smallest modules for the Machine Network, based on RPMA (Random Phase Multiple Access), a low power wide area (LPWA) technology, has been announced by u-blox:SARA S200.The Machine Network is a wireless network built by Ingenu, the creators of RPMA technology, exclusively for Machine to Machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT) applications.

Security gets FASTR for automotive
The world we live in is a very connected world, with very few worthwhile things happening in isolation. This is especially true of automotive security and privacy.That’s why theFuture of Automotive Security Technology Research (FASTR)consortium recently released a very formal and detailed manifesto, and with it, a call‑to‑action to the entire automotive supply chain.
Quad-band LTE Cat M1 module suitable for IoT and M2M applications
u blox has announced what it claims to be the world’s smallest quad-band LTE Cat M1 module, the u-blox SARA R410M. By enabling remote devices to connect directly to 4G networks, the u-blox SARA R410M will aid the rollout of Internet of Things (IoT) and machine-to-machine (M2M) applications, from smart metering to connected healthcare, and from industrial control and monitoring to smart buildings and cities. The 16x26mm form factor enables d...
Secure IoT identities
The Internet-of-Things is extremely important today, and security is essential for a smooth running IoT. To achieve this, it is crucial we solve the main challenge of secure identities for constrained IoT devices and find efficient ways to deal with the many identity technologies in use.
