As predictors of what the future will look like, movies have proven eerily accurate: it’s 1966 and Batman uses a remote control to summon The Batmobile. Forward to 2002’s Minority Report and autonomous self-driving vehicles weave – almost magically – on magnetic cushions through a futuristic Washington DC. We set our sights on a future that involves autonomous vehicles long ago! Author:Mikel Alonso

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.

A range of electronic design services to meet the needs of a wide range of customers from development houses to major international OEMs is provided by LDD Technology.Two key elements of any new design are PCB design and device programming. As this expertise may not be required by OEMs on a regular basis it is common to outsource these functions to an external development house. Established for over 25 years LDD Technology has a wealth of experti...
