Beacons Technology – What it is, How it works and Its Applications and Challenges
What it is Beacons Technology –How it works and Its Applications and Challenges Imagine! You come back home after a tiring day from office and are warmly welcomed with a cup […]
Narrow Band (NB) -IoT Modem Chip Vendors
There are a number of wireless technologies available for the Internet of things. These are mainly divided into two categories: Short Range (Zigbee, WiFi, Bluetooth, Z wave) Long Range (LoRa, […]
Maximum Coupling Loss (MCL) and Maximum Path Loss (MPL)
Maximum Coupling Loss has been chosen by 3GPP as the metric to evaluate coverage of a radio access technology. In theory, it can be defined as the maximum loss in […]
IoT nb1 vs nb2 Devices Comparison
IoT nb1 vs nb2 Devices Comparison, Narrow Band IoT specifications were first introduced in 3GPP release 13 and then further enhanced in 3GPP release 14 with some essential features. Release […]
Narrow Band IoT Frame Structure
NB- IoT frame structure is illustrated in below picture. At the highest level, it starts with the hyper frame cycle where one hyperframe cycle has 1024 hyper frames and each […]
NB-IoT Frequency Bands (As per 3GPP Rel. 13, 14 and 15)
3GPP has defined a set of frequency bands for which NB-IoT can be used. 3GPP TS 36.101 from Release 13 provides the list of the supported bands: 1, 2, 3, 5, […]
LoRa – Device Re-activation Call Flow (Rejoin Procedure)
LoRa Technology supports the handling and configuration of rejoin-requests for LoRa End Devices. Using a rejoin-request, a device is able to request the network-server to re-activate, without being ‘disconnected’ until […]
Self Sustained Sensor Node for IoT – Technologies and Commercial products !
Batteries are a boon as well as a bane for the IoT world. 20 billion devices mean 20 billion batteries too, how to replace/maintain them? Energy Harvesting is the solution. […]
IoT Kits and Leaning Resources — Rapid Prototype your IoT Idea
The Internet of things (IoT) is the inter-networking of physical devices, vehicles, buildings, and other items embedded with electronics, software, sensors, actuators, and network connectivity which enable these objects to collect and […]
