LTE

Qualcomm Inc. through its subsidiary, Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., and Deutsche Telekom (DT) are using LTE LAA technologies to enhance mobile broadband experience and ensure fair co-existence with Wi-Fi in unlicensed spectrum.

Alright so we’re a couple of weeks into 2016 so I think I’m still within the prediction grace period? If you haven’t already you can read my review of 2015 on our blog and see how my predictions from 2015 stacked up.

Telit has announced five new LTE IoT modules, one category 4 (CAT-4)  and four category 1 (CAT-1), the new IoT focused standard, that includes three North American and one European models.

Qualcomm Incorporated and TDK Corporation are forming a joint venture to enable delivery of RF front-end (RFFE) modules and RF filters into fully integrated systems for mobile devices and fast-growing business segments, such as Internet of Things (IoT).

LTE chipmaker Sequans Communications S.A. and system-on-chip designer Socle Technology Corp., a fully-owned subsidiary of Foxconn announced a strategic partnership to address the global market for the LTE-enabled Internet of Things (IoT).

Digi International has introduced the Digi TransPort® WR31, a rugged, versatile enterprise LTE router built for critical applications operating in harsh environments. The WR31 features advanced security and monitoring and the intelligence to operate on nearly any 3G or 4G LTE network in the world.

Gemalto has won the Most Innovative LTE Application and Service Award for its Cinterion® Cat 1 LTE wireless module.

According to a new research report from the analyst firm Berg Insight, the global number of cellular machine-to-machine (M2M) subscribers increased by 23% during 2015 to reach 265.2 million at the end of the year.

The deployment of Machine to Machine (M2M) initiatives is generating new revenue opportunities for operators and communication service providers (CSPs). Pravin Mirchandani, CMO, OneAccess Networks, explained how innovative traffic management services, delivered via customer premises-based equipment, or CPE, can help them capitalise on these opportunities.

Arkessa has signed a strategic agreement with Tixi.Com, the M2M and smart metering gateway specialists, with the aim of providing best-in-class connectivity for remote monitoring of PLC and fieldbus devices.

So you want to design and deploy networks of wireless IoT devices? Sounds simple in theory; you just connect them to the network. But what network, and how? By their very nature, IoT devices are small, have low power capabilities, and will most likely be sited in the most challenging environments for radio propagation, writes

According to a new market research report, “Commercial Telematics Market by Type (OEM, Aftermarket), Solutions (Fleet Management, Navigation, Infotainment, Telehealth, Safety, Insurance), Services (Design, Integration, Training), User Type, Region – Global Forecast to 2020”, published by MarketsandMarkets, segments the global market into various sub-segments with in-depth analysis and forecasting of revenues. It also identifies the

KORE has announced it will support existing M2M and IoT devices operating on the KORE network through T-Mobile’s 2G network extension through 2020.

The technology behind the IoT, despite the inevitable hype, still needs a lot of development work done before our experience becomes truly immersive and ubiquitous. The hype, however, is largely being generated by the ‘look at all the wonderful things we can do with our clever sensors’ camp who seem to be ignoring the fact

Freedom of choice is a wonderful thing – until you have to make a critical decision that’s going to affect your life – or your business – for years to come. Until recently, the range of wide area connectivity technologies for M2M and IoT applications was largely limited to cellular, satellite and WiFi. The last

Ericsson and Orange have announced a trial of optimised, low-cost, low-complexity devices and enhanced network capabilities for Cellular IoT over GSM and LTE.
