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 LPWAN world is about to be turned upside down, and this is your chance to be part of it. SIM cards for 1 Euro 10 Euro, running time 10 years, 500 MB => 50 MB per year, 1 Euro per year, about 8 cents a month! Additional data volume bookings possible 500 MB upload […]
Many IoT / M2M Cookbook customers asked me for an evaluation kit within the last two years. I launched the first version during M2M Summit in September 2016. In February 2017 the multicellular version came true. The working name is HARduino because it has an Arduino R3 compatible UART interface. HARALD – ALD + duino […]
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 […]
Wireless IoT is a big dark forest with a lot of trees. This time I have chosen symbolic the LTE-tree. All leaves of the tree you can touch at Embedded World booth 5-139. Additional to the tree for LTE there is one for GPS / Glonass, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Low Energy, LoRa, ZigBee and a lot […]
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 […]
Does LPWAN in IoT have a clear direction? Origin post in November 2015. Now we are 12 months later and nothing has changed. “Just follow the signs”. We heard that all roads lead to Rome. In LPWAN, unfortunately, the roads lead in different directions: one path leads to Sigfox; The next way leads to LoRa […]
I found the question “Is Sigfox / LoRa the new WiMAX?” on the Nokia networks blog: https://blog.networks.nokia.com/mobile-networks/2015/10/21/is-sigfoxlora-the-new-wimax/ From hype to niche technology The subtitle of Nokia’s blog post was ”From hype to niche technology”. What is your opinion? Will we see wireless hype again? Sigfox and LoRa are LPWAN (Low Power WAN) technologies. Sigfox and […]
