SIM on chip or eSIM cards do the exact same job as a normal IoT SIM card. Neverthelesss, eSIM cards are permanently stored inside a device. An eSIM is usually attached by soldering to the PCB. eSIMs prevent people from tampering with the device or changing the device it sits in. This helps enhance the […]
The Germans are the masters of long words and long sentences with the verb at the end (frustrating simultaneous translators the world over). German datasheets are 30% longer, or in a font size so small they are hard to read. But, Germans are capable of short stories as well. To cut a long story short, […]
Today the bunny will jump out of the heat. Next week at the embedded world you have a chance to win a Gold, Silver, Bronze and Student kit. The Student kit has a higher value than the Bronze kit. Students are our future. All kits together have a value of mare than Euro 10000. The […]
The DUT is a GPS loop antenna planned for a small GSM / GPS tracker of an estimated 40 mm x 20 mm. The goal of this test is to detect the bandwidth of the GPS antenna and the interference of meat placed close to the final GPS tracker. Check of the ingredients of world´s […]
New GSM / GPS / Bluetooth module adapter for STM32 Nucleo, Arduino, Intel Galileo plus compatible PCBs Your ideas? Your wishes? Your recommendation? Your advice? I will listen to you. Before I started to write the IoT / M2M Cookbook I asked business friends what they would like to pay for such a book. A […]
I have an (IoT) dream – Tesla in front of Burger King I took this photo on my business trip on Monday to an electric vehicle charge station. On the way back to my home I got tired and decided to stop, take a nap and to get some coffee. I left the highway and […]
Year 2015 ended and year 2016 started with a big BANG in IoT and M2M. It was not just the firework display at the sky. In the last few weeks at the end of 2015 several rabbit conjure out of the hat: LTE module CAT 1 LTE module CAT 4 LTE module CAT 9 LTE […]
Embedded LTE antenna consideration Choosing the right integrated LTE antenna is not easy. The large number of LTE bands makes the construction of integrated LTE antennas more complex. All that glitters is not gold. You have to look closely at the data sheet of the LTE antenna. The lowest LTE frequency is 698 MHz. The […]
WyzBee – your IoT enabler The WyzBee board of Redpine Signals includes a wireless module providing Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.1, and ZigBee connectivity. Moreover it holds a six-axis inertial sensors, an infra-red receiver, a debug port, push-buttons, LEDs, USB ports, and expansion connector. Last but not least there is a Dual Core MCU with memory, wired […]
Quad-band GSM / GPRS / Bluetooth module Just have a look on the world smallest Quad-band GSM / GRPS module on LCC packaging. On top a Bluetooth 3.0 module is already included. Even if there are two radios inside, the price of the combined is close to the half of a standard GSM / GPRS […]
