Deutsche Telekom AG has its NB-IoT network live in several major German cities (Berlin, Bochum, Bonn, Chemnitz, Dortmund, Duisburg, Düsseldorf, Erfurt, Essen, Gelsenkirchen, Cologne, Leipzig, Leverkusen and Mannheim. There are now no longer any obstacles to developing and using NB-IoT applications. akorIoT with NB-IoT + one of 33 STM32 Nucleo or Arduino UNO = your […]
What is the main difference between the order button concepts? The Amazon button is based on Wi-Fi and will run when connected to the home Wi-Fi network. It will only work over a short distance to the broadband WiFi router and you have to register it. The Gillette Order button is based on a cellular […]
Last week I got a request to support a small GPS tracker. The request is not new to me. It reaches me in several times per year. However, it makes no sense to reinvent the wheel again and again. To minimise the effort for your GPS tracking project on NB-IoT, LoRaWAN, SIGFOX or Weightless P […]
Date: Starts June 23 2017 at 8.00am / Ends June 24 2017 at 4.30pm Venue: @ hub:raum Winterfeldtstraße 21 10781 Berlin There will be an NB-IoT Hackathon in Berlin, Germany. Developers and start-ups are being called to disrupt today’s IoT landscape by creating services & solutions based on the NB-IoT technology. NB-IoT stands out due […]
Rank 1 to 3 I have rated by the number of LPWAN base stations. If I rate by the density of the base stations per square meter then the Netherlands is in the first place. We could also rate by the number of base stations per inhabitant. I decided to rate the base stations per […]
Are we able to make a mint of money with such a low-cost BLE-GPRS-GPS-gateway? If yes then it makes sense to follow a train of thoughts listed in my IoT M2M Cookbook. Everybody can make such a gateway real for less than USD 15. In my IoT M2M Cookbook – excerpt here: http://www.gsm-modem.de/M2M/m2m_iot_cookbook I explained […]
I can carry my light antenna radiation pattern test system by car, train or aeroplane. The test reports have the same accuracy like with an electronic chamber. The main difference is price and size. The mobile antenna radiation pattern system is much smaller and cost Euro 14,000 only. To install a chamber will charge much […]
A dream came true. Within the last days, NB-IoT is moving in big steps. Orders for a new combined module on NB-IoT (LTE-Catt-NB1), LTE-Cat-M1, GPRS and GNSS (GPS, GLONASS) are welcome. If you miss NB-IoT or Cat-M1 for now, then just use the GPRS radio inside the module. Requests for data sheets, orders for samples […]
“akor” is the Proto-Celtic word for “open”. The akorIoT radio adapter with its Arduino R3 header has an open HW and SW concept and supports the multi-mode cellular module B96 as well. Based on that it is the world’s first Arduino shield with the support of both new cellular LPWAN technologies LTE-Cat-NB1 (NB-IoT) and LTE-Cat-M1. […]
Last week was Meet-Up related to NB-IoT in Munich. Some Newbies were listening to NB-IoT details the first time. What they don’t know but I know – NB-IoT is already live in the region of Munich. The akorIoT community made a scan in Rosenheim close to Munich and found an NB-IoT bearer in the guarded […]
