Quectel BG770 – NB-IoT, LTE-M, GNSS module The Quectel BG770 is based on the Altair Semiconductor ALT1250. The eDRX (extended Discontinuous Reception)/PSM (Power Saving Mode) ensures low power consumption. With a super-low current consumption of approximately 3 uA in PSM mode, the Quectel BG770 offers a long operating life of 10 to 15 years on […]
Q: Thanks for all the materials you shared. I am reading the cookbook but I can only find some guidelines so build a GSM IFA antenna. A: Can you please share with me the exact dimensions you used in your simulation? Q: As I previously mentioned, I just bought your book to copy-paste your antenna […]
Q: I have a question before I start my development. I seem to remember that you mentioned in an email that we need more bands for LTE-M. Are frequency band 8 and 20 not enough? The answer about frequency bands for LTE-M and NB-IoT in DACH A: The question about frequency bands for LTE-M / […]
I get questions about LPWAN designs each week. The question below I will answer online, because it is a generic question. NB-IoT / LTEM / LoRaWAN design question: Hi Harald, We’ve been in contact a few times a few years ago now (!), discussing low power wireless and RF topics. Great to see how much […]
First of all, we have to establish whether the mobile emergency call button is to be used locally in a building, on a company campus, or nationwide in a European or a non-European country. In this article, we will first limit the mobile emergency button to use in Germany. The design for Germany can easily […]
As Santa Claus will soon be bringing presents, let me tell you a seasonal tale of the energy and cost savings with SubGHz Mesh-Net crafted as a Christmassy challenge. Santa’s sledge moves around the world. His reindeer are changed several times during Christmas night. Each reindeer, all the elves and the toy factory at the […]
Questions about radio certification will be answered in our LPWAN and BLE seminars. About 1/3 of the time we explain how to certify wireless IoT devices. The wireless part is only a small part which has to be tested according to RED. Question about certification and antenna Q: I have a question for you. It […]
Field test: tracking indoor and outdoor In order to demonstrate the tracking of goods and assets across borders, a field test was executed over several days in different countries using different methods of transport. In addition to delivery vehicles and cars, trams and walking were also used. The car was parked in an underground car […]
Everybody talks about protecting the environment and recycling. The nail antenna from the land of poets and thinkers (Germany) follows this trend. We’ve hit the nail on the head with this design. We don’t need a new nail – no we use old, superfluous, rusty nails and recycle them into valuable, perfect GNSS antennas. This […]
From time to time developers ask questions about the content of the IoT M2M Cookbook. This time the question involves 5G and I explain why I’m not currently writing on this subject. Question about the IoT M2M Cookbook Hello Harald, I’d like to buy the IoT Cookbook. Are new networks like NB-IOT and LTE-CAT-M covered? […]
