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...

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.

Rohde&Schwarz and Autotalks have successfully tested Autotalks’ second generation chipset as the C-V2X UE with the R&SCMW100 communication tester. During the test, multiple test scenarios were verified for transmission and reception of C-V2X direct communications (PC5) based on 3GPP Release 14 using GNSS based synchronisation.

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.
