Launched at MWC in Barcelona, the PentaG-NTN is a 5G-NTN (non-terrestrial network) modem IP subsystem for satellite user terminals supporting LEO and MEO constellations. It enables satellite operators, constellation and terminal developers to accelerate 5G-NTN services using the third-generation PentaG, production-ready 5G-Advanced baseband architecture. The modem integrates baseband hardware, L1 PHY software and verification assets into a single, reusable subsystem. ...
At MWC in Barcelona (2-5 March), Quectel Wireless Solutions launched the FGH200M long range, low power module. It is based on the IEEE 802.11ah wireless networking (Wi-Fi HaLow) protocol and has up to 10 times the range of traditional 2.4GHz Wi-Fi, said the company. The module is based on the Morse Micro MM8108 chipset and operates in the sub-1GHz license ...
As the IoT has evolved and changed, so have the requirements for efficient performance and security, says Nick Wood. IoT, or internet of things, is a vague term, but the most general definition would be devices that talk to each other without human directed intervention. Early implementations were typically just adding connectivity to previously standalone electronic apparatus. Often these connections ...
Lacuna Space, the Satellite IoT specialist, is opening up LoneWhisper for wider, third-party collaboration. LoneWhisper is its LoRa over satellite D2D (direct-to-device) network. The aim is to enable other operators and agencies to plug into the company’s global platform. One early adopter it cites is the Portuguese fiber network operator dstelecom. LoneWhisper Lacuna highlights that much of the world remains ...
