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.

NB‑IoT and other low power wide area technologies have made ten year battery lives a reality in applications with minimal data transmission. Others need some extra power, which is precisely where energy harvesting fits in. Imagine an IoT device that performs year in, year out, powered by a steady drip of power scavenged from its immediate surroundings.

STMicroelectronics has enlarged its GNSS product offering with the Teseo-LIV3R ROM-based module. The competitively-priced module provides ST’s full GNSS algorithm capability for cost-conscious tracking and navigation devices.

u-blox and Arvento Mobile Systems, have announced the imminent launch of the brand new imt.x1 vehicle tracking system. Arvento’s imt.x1 is highly differentiated from other vehicle tracking devices on the market, thanks to its six-axis Gyro sensor which can sense 3-dimensional movement caused by emergency acceleration, panic braking and directional yaw and drift.

What do cars, sports watches, mobile networks and stock exchanges have in common?All of them have benefited from satellite positioning - and have probably been changed by them, either to perform a geographic location or to synchronise distributed networks to exactly the same beat. But while GNSS technology has permeated every aspect of our lives (GNSS stands for Global Satellite Navigation System), its success has made it a target for people with...

SiTime Corporation has unveiled its Endura MEMS timing solutions for aerospace and defence applications such as field and satellite communications, precision GNSS, avionics, and space. The Endura products are engineered to offer unmatched performance in harsh conditions, such as severe shock, vibration, and extreme temperature, that are routinely experienced in these applications.

Among the technological hurdles the industry faces while preparing for 5G, one of the most challenging is providing a network timing source that is accurate, stable and reliable enough to do more work, faster, over tighter channels than was possible with prior 4G networks that already had tight timing requirements. By Markus Lutz, CTO and Founder, SiTime Corporation

Unex and STMicroelectronics have announced the integration of Unex’s SOM-301, a flexible and cyber-secure V2X System-on-Module, on STMicroelectronics’ Telemaco3P Modular Telematics Platform (TC3P-MTP). Unex’s SOM-301 is a self-contained System-on-Module that integrates all V2X essential hardware and software components and features Unex’s V2Xcast technology.

ACEINNA hasannounced its new OpenIMU300RI. A rugged, sealed-package, open-source, nine-Degree-of-Freedom (9-DoF) Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) for autonomous off road, construction, agricultural and automotive vehicle applications. This new open-source IMU, allows engineers to easily optimise an attitude, navigation or other algorithm for their vehicle/application and run it in on the IMU.

Provider of positioning and wireless communication technologies, u-blox, has announced the SARA-R5 series of LTE-M and NB-IoT modules for low power wide area (LPWA) IoT applications, its most advanced, secure and highly integrated cellular product.
