IoT at level crossing with 5G gateway on NeoMesh, NBIoT and LTEM

NeoMesh (SubGHz Mesh Net) at level crossing with German Railway company

Deutsche Bahn’s implementation of NeoMesh in combination with NBIoT/LTEM marks a major revolution in the Internet of Things (IoT), particularly in improving safety at level crossings. Unlike traditional LPWAN (Low Power Wide Area Network) technologies, NeoMesh offers an innovative approach to IoT communications that will redefine the future of IoT applications. Let’s take a closer […]

Which LPWAN do you use for an emergency call button?  

LPWAN-Emergency-Button

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 […]

Tracking indoor and outdoor by GNSS and cell ID

Tracking test: Main trip to Amsterdam

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 […]

From concept to your wireless IoT button

IoT button

The akorIoT Group has a development team with many years of experience in wireless data transmission which today is termed “Wireless IoT”.  The integration of antennas into enclosures is another area of expertise for the akorIoT Group; in addition to standard antennas such as solderable chip antennas or flex PCB antennas, customer-specific antennas are often […]

Internet of Things Case Study – Smart Parking

Internet of Things Case Study – Smart Parking – “Telemoritz” in Hanover

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 […]

The journey to develop the Gillette order button

© Harald Naumann - Currently only available in Austria, Gillette offers its customers the capability to order new razor blades at the touch of a button.

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 […]
