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 […]
Field test: tracking indoor and outdoor In order to demonstrate the tracking goods and assets across borders, a field test was executed over several days in different countries and 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 park […]
Enquiry for a smart waste container We have already developed many antennas for metal containers on GSM, UMTS, NB-IoT, LTE-M, LoRaWAN and Sigfox. For us the radio technology does not make a big difference. The akorIoT SensPRO is already a reference design for such a smart bin. Request for the smart waste bin Hi Harald, […]
Which is better: UDP, TCP, MQTT, CoaP or LWM2M? Q: Our application is an asset tracker on NB-IoT, LTE-M, GPRS and GNSS. We need to send the current position of the tracking device to a remote server after a particular interval. I am looking for the LWM2M protocol which consumes less energy & headers added […]
The grey map with the blue triangles shows the cellular base stations in the Kirchheim area. This map is available online from the Federal Network Agency in Germany. In Germany the locations of the cellular base stations are publicly accessible for everybody. The base stations vary in height from about 5 m up to 48 […]
How your wireless IoT idea can become a real product The Timeline: May 2018: Inquiry Tracker with harald.naumann (at) lte-modem.com February 2019: Order for development with akorIoT Group August 2019: Pre-series/ field test order with akorIoT Group Basis = akorIoT SensPRO http://www.gsm-modem.de/M2M/m2m-componets/akoriot-senspro-reference-design-nbiot-ltem/ Radio modules = Quectel BG96 Multimode NB-IoT, LTEM, GSM GNSS Module= Quectel L76L, […]
Another request for a custom PCB antenna for NB-IoT. Since we invested in NB-IoT early on, we can bring a lot of experience. Simply taking over a layout of an antenna for an unlicensed band like LoRaWAN (868 / 915 MHz) usually does not work. It may be sufficient for first tests but if the […]
Why now NB-IoT instead of LoRaWAN or Sigfox? There are hundreds of reasons for NB-IoT and hundreds against LoRaWAN and Sigfox. Below is a typical example. The potential customer already prefers NB-IoT and we can deliver NB-IoT with fallback to GSM. In Germany there is no Sigfox Indoor in my city. In the three neighbouring […]
We received a request for an NB-IoT device in a matchbox. It is of course not an actual matchbox but similar in size. Small NB-IoT devices with batteries operating in the frequency range from 600 MHz to 1000 MHz are the premium class of IoT devices. I don’t want to mention the question and the […]
The IoT M2M Cookbook contains a simulation of a dual F antenna for cellular. This antenna has been customized several times by customers, or by us on behalf of customers. The Gillette order button using this base design and described in the book supports NB-IoT, LTE-M and GSM from about 750 MHz with 960 MHz […]
