In 2015, the startup BuddyGuard launched a campaign on Kickstarter. The product was the Flare security camera. Faces and suspicious noises were to be recognised locally on the camera. The homeowner was proactively warned of intruders. A revolutionary approach: AI-based face and audio recognition: The camera differed from the competition in that it processed video […]
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 / […]
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 […]
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 […]
Do you use antennas in your products? Do you compare data sheets? Do you have problems comparing? Are the antennas in your device not compliant with the data sheet? Are there problems with radio certification? Then I will be glad to help you, starting with the analysis of the data sheets all the way up […]
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 […]
The link budget is the total of all losses and gains from the transmission of a radio wave. A wave is amplified or attenuated by the antenna. During the transmission of a signal between transmitter and receiver, data can be lost. The study of losses and gains is therefore important to calculate the reliability and […]
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 […]
