Collaboration advances GNSS testing
A collaboration between AVL and Rohde & Schwarz, now permits the reproduction of realistic GNSS reception conditions for testbed vehicle testing. As a result, users can reliably test all aspects of GNSS-based vehicle positioning – a core functionality of autonomous vehicles.
LTE-M modules secure the IoT from end to end
u-blox has announced certification of its SARA-R410M-73B module for South Korea on SK Telecom’s LTE-M cellular network. The module series will support a broad spectrum of IoT applications such as smart metering, telematics, asset and vehicle tracking, security systems, building automation, as well as smart lighting solutions and connected health.
L-band receiver enables centimetre-level positioning for mass market
u-blox had announced an affordable approach to bringing centimetre-level accuracy to GNSS (global navigation satellite system) receivers. Its new NEO-D9S GNSS correction data receiver module receives GNSS correction data from correction service providers broadcast on the L-band (at 1,525 to 1,559MHz).
eHealth: One wearable wireless hub to connect them all
With the rise of the medical Internet of Things (IoT), the healthcare sector is getting much more than a facelift. Continuous data‑records collected using body‑worn medical sensors that transmit wirelessly to the cloud give medical professionals a much more complete assessment of their patients’ health. In addition to offering doctors new tools for disease prevention, early diagnostics, and follow‑up, patients benefit from closer moni...
Automotive central control units for safer vehicles
Tieto and STMicroelectronics, have announced their collaborative efforts to develop Central Control-Unit (CCU) software to run on STMicroelectronics’ popular Telemaco3P platform. Accelerating electrification and connectivity requirements of vehicles are pushing for greater and greater processing power and uncompromised cyber security.
Centimetre-level GNSS positioning solution for IoT applications
u-blox has announced that Taoglas has developed a centimetre-level GNSS positioning solution. Comprising a high precision L1/L2/E5 GNSS receiver, the u-blox ZED-F9, all the required RF electronics and antennas in a single package, the Taoglas Edge Locate positioning module simplifies the development and deployments of IoT solutions that depend on high precision positioning information.
Cellular IoT pre-certified modem speeds time to market
Nordic Semiconductor has announced that cellular IoT products and applications can now be brought to market in days using the publicly-announced third-party modem based on the Nordic multimode LTE-M/NB-IoT nRF9160 System-in-Package (SiP).
The fragmentation of the IoT with the TurboX Smart Core platform
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a fragmented space. Countless companies are developing smart solutions that bring the benefits of connectivity, data, analytics and increasingly artificial intelligence to every imaginable commercial vertical. The palette of competing, complementary, and often incompatible technologies is daunting. Silos have formed, with each vertical serving itself a specific flavor of the IoT. And as the growth of the IoT contin...
Why devices with position tracking require an internet connection
In a few months the European satellite system Galileo will be completed. Most devices with location tracking functions already support it. Even so, their manufacturers should endeavour to implement over-the-air access, as this is the only way that satellite selection can be adjusted on demand as needed – something which can be a critical factor, writes Bernd Hantsche, Director Product Marketing Embedded & Wireless at Rutronik.
The ultra-robust M9 technology platform for automotive telematics
u-blox has announced its new ultra-robust meter-level M9 global positioning technology platform, designed for demanding automotive, telematics, and UAV applications. Thanks to its high performance GNSS chip, UBX-M9140, the M9 technology platform and the NEO-M9N, the first module based on the platform, can receive signals from up to four GNSS constellations (GPS, Glonass, Beidou, and Galileo) concurrently.
