M2M applications based on wireless modules.
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 […]
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 […]

In Patras, Greece, developers are already working on a smart city technology development using NB-IoT. But how can they avoid the need for a SIM card and its subscription? Let’s consider the technical proposition. Technical needs Smart parking sensors are sending one status update message of 10 bytes two to eight times per hour. 30 […]
In 2016, a creative team in Frankfurt had the idea of developing an IoT push button for ordering goods via a cellular module. In principle, something similar to the Amazon Dash button, only using a GSM radio instead of Wi-Fi. A first, and a tricky learning curve for the engineering team. The developers in the […]
1. IoT buttons In my region, two IoT buttons caused a buzz and landed in the basket of end customers.
