Antenova set to exhibit at embedded world
Antenova will be exhibiting from Hall 5 Stand 141 at embedded world 2016 in Nuremburg, Germany, from 23rd to 25th February. The company will be showcasing: an antenna solution for the TransferJet close-proximity wireless standard; flexible, FPC antennas for WLAN, ISM, Cellular/LTE and GNSS; positioning and tracking solutions (antennas and modules); LTE/4G antennas; and Similis – a brand new antenna for 3G, LTE and MIMO with a very low profi...
Industry’s first untethered 3D dead reckoning module
Hailed as the industry's first, the NEO-M8U Untethered 3D Dead Reckoning (UDR) module has been introduced by u-blox. With no connection to the vehicle other than power, the NEO-M8U provides accurate positioning even where GNSS signals are weak or not available by combining multi-GNSS (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo) with an onboard 3D gyro/accelerometer.
Flexible antennas suit GNSS & 2.4-2.5GHz positioning
Expanding its range of flexible FPC antennas, Antenova has announced two positioning antennas: Bentoni and Asper. Bentoni is a positioning antenna for GPS, GLONASS, Beidou and GALILEO, while Asper integrates a 1559-1609MHz antenna with a 2.4-2.5GHz antenna for positioning applications with wireless connectivity. Both antennas offer high performance and maintain good isolation in situ within a device.
M2M system design comes with communication reference platform
CEVA has introduced the Dragonfly reference platform to accelerate the design of low-data-rate M2M and IoT communication applications, including standalone wearables, smart grid, surveillance systems, asset tracking, remote monitoring systems, connected cars and smart utilities.
3G/2G cellular module suits tracking & IoT applications
Measuring just 16x26x3mm, u-blox's 96-pin LGA-packaged SARA-U201 is claimed to be the smallest cellular module supporting both 2G and 3G connectivity. Providing 5-band UMTS, quad-band GSM and having global radio regulatory approvals, the SARA-U201 is suited for a wide range of industrial, automotive telematics and consumer applications that must be able to operate on any 2G or 3G network in the world.
Sony acquires Altair Semiconductor
Sony has announced that it has reached an agreement to acquire Altair Semiconductor for $212m. The acquisition is expected to be completed in early February, 2016.
Multi-GNSS receivers concurrently track three constellations
Now supporting Galileo, in addition to GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, QZSS and SBAS, u-blox has released a new firmware, FW 3.01, for its M8 concurrent multi-GNSS platform. It can track up to three constellations concurrently and makes use of all SBAS and QZSS augmentation systems at the same time.
STMicroelectronics to showcase its latest smart-driving solutions
STMicroelectronics will exhibit its latest Smart-Driving solutions at the 8th International Automotive Electronics Technology Expo (CAR-ELE JAPAN) in Tokyo, Japan. ST contributes to the development of cutting-edge Smart-Driving technologies including ADAS, connectivity, and advanced safety/environmental performance, with semiconductors playing a key role in the creation of these technologies.
GPS and GNSS for small consumer devices and wearables
Antenova, a manufacturer of antennas and RF antenna modules for M2M and the Internet of Things, has released two new modules for GPS and GNSS. Both provide a drop-in receiver solution - a neat way to add a location capability to very small consumer devices. The modulesare based on the popular MediaTek processor.
Global navigation chip for in-vehicle applications
A new Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) wireless connectivity chip has been added to Broadcom Corporation’s automotive portfolio. The BCM89774 provides improved location and positioning while lowering power consumption for in-vehicle applications and reduces bill of materials (BOM) cost for car makers.
