2G cellular module offers an easy upgrade path to LPWA
u‑blox has announced the SARA-G450, a cost-optimised 2G cellular module for machine-to-machine (M2M) applications, such as utility metering and tracking systems. Provided in the industry-proven SARA form factor, the SARA‑G450 quad-band GSM/GPRS module lets product developers easily migrate their products to 3G, LTE, or LPWA technology to meet a broad range of environmental and technological requirements.
Collaboration on MEMS timing for 5G
It has been announced that SiTime Corporation, a provider of MEMS timing, and Intel are collaborating to work together on integrating timing solutions for Intel’s 5G multi-mode radio modems, with additional applicability to Intel LTE, millimetre-wave wireless, WiFi, Bluetooth, and GNSS solutions.
Tester and GNSS simulatorsupport GCF protocol conformance
The capabilities of Rohde & Schwarz’s R&S CMW500 wideband radio communication tester and R&S SMBV100A GNSS simulator have been extended to support Global Certification Forum (GCF) protocol conformance tests for C-V2X device certification. Utilising the Qualcomm(R) 9150 C-V2X chipset solution the R&S CMW500 acting as a LTE network simulator now allows automakers to test C-V2X direct communications (PC5) according to GCF Work ...
New generation of smart sensor hubs
At Sensors Expo in San Jose, California, Bosch Sensortec announced the BHI260 and BHA260, the first two members of a new generation of smart sensor hubs. These new devices are optimised for 24/7, always-on sensor processing and feature ultra-low power consumption.
CEVA-Dragonfly NB1 supports voice workloads via software
CEVA has announced the successor to its popular CEVA-Dragonfly NB1 solution targeting the fast growing NB-IoT market. CEVA-Dragonfly NB2 is a highly integrated and modular solution optimised for Cat-NB2 (3GPP Release 14 eNB-IoT) that can seamlessly be incorporated into chips and modules by the multitude of companies looking to address the large and fast growing cellular IoT space.
Operational instability prevention and ultra-low quiescent current
Torex Semiconductor has launched the XC6135 series and XC6136 series, two voltage detector products which have ultra-low quiescent current and detect voltages making them among the lowest in the world.The quiescent current is roughly 1/10 of conventional products (44nA for the XC6135 series, and 88nA for the XC6136 series), allowing them to extend the operating time of devices with small batteries such as IoT devices, wearable devices, and smart ...
With stationless rental bicycles IoT has conquered our streets
Dockless shared bikes have become a growing phenomenon in major cities across the planet. Subscribers to their services can use their smartphone to unlock a nearby bike, ride it to their destination, and then just leave it there.Not only are dockless shared bikes affordable and convenient for their users, they’ve also been great business.
Partnership to bring high precision positioning solutions to China
u‑blox and Qianxun Spatial Intelligence are joining forces to deliver high precision positioning solutions to the Chinese market. By coordinating their product offerings, they seek to meet growing demand for increased positioning accuracy for mass market applications. Some of the areas driving up demand for high precision positioning services in China are IoT tracking devices such as those used on shared bikes, as well as automotive, UAV, and r...
Multi-band receiver delivers centimetre-level accuracy
u-blox has announced the ZED-F9Pmulti-band GNSS module with integrated multi-band Real Time Kinematics (RTK) technology for machine control, ground robotic vehicles, and high precision unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) applications. The ZED‑F9P measures only 22x17x2.4mm and uses technology from the recently announced u‑blox F9 platform to deliver robust high precision positioning performance in seconds.
An alternative for centimetre level positioning accuracy
Within the past 15 years, standard precision GPS technology has found its way into countless devices you probably own. Your smartphone, your car navigation system, and your smart watch all use it to tell you where you are to within a few meters. Mostly, that’s been good enough, and for many use cases, higher accuracy would simply not have been affordable. The high cost of centimetre‑level positioning technology has limited its use to prof...
