Link.ONE — Connect to the IoT Network of Your Choice
Could you have an IoT device continuously connected without having to do it yourself? The launch of Link.One, an all-in-one device that combines LoRaWAN and automatic cellular connectivity showed us that continuous connectivity is not only possible but also of great added value. Today, connecting devices require a choice between the long-range-low-power capabilities of LoRaWAN […]
An Epic Quest to Validate Continuous Global Connectivity
In today’s world, continuous connectivity sounds like an everyday given. But delivering it is far from simple. Uninterrupted consistent network coverage has historically been, and still is, hard to achieve. Cellular and wireless networks come with particular limitations, offering fragmented connectivity and use across devices. Power efficiency makes this challenge even more difficult as devices […]
How to Build Your Private LTE Network
Private LTE networks are becoming more popular due to the reduced complexity and operational costs. Historically, building cellular networks was limited to large corporations with deep pockets. Licensing frequency bands, purchasing radio infrastructure, developing and maintaining the core network layer are resource-heavy investments, until now. Building a private LTE network can be “easily” accomplished. Read […]
MVNO vs MNO: The Advantages of MVNO Network Access for IoT Projects
Every Internet of Things project needs access to a robust network, and, in many cases, that requires a mobile network. In order to access mobile networks, you have to work with a mobile network operator (MNO) or a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO). Monogoto is a full MVNO that also acts as an Over the […]
Design Essentials for Low Power Cellular IoT
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of physical computing devices. These devices are interconnected and can take the shape of a variety of items you likely interact with on a daily basis, such as fitness trackers, security systems, or even kitchen appliances, to name a few. Generally speaking, IoT is incredibly powerful and […]
How eSIM Is Disrupting IoT Networking
Before we get into the specifics of how eSIM is disrupting IoT networking, here are a few common misconceptions about eSIM, eUICC, and embedded sim that are often mixed up: eUICC is the 3GPP standard of how to change an operator profile on a sim card (it can work on a regular plastic sim or […]
The True Speed of Cellular IoT
As of now, there are over 20 different LTE categories. From the initial LTE specifications released in 2008, to novel categories classified as LTE Advanced which supports data rates of over 300 Mbps, LTE Advanced Pro with speeds of over 1 Gbps, and LTE for Machines designed for battery-powered, IoT devices. When talking about cellular […]
The Challenges of IIoT and How We Solve Them
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) refers to the use of IoT-connected devices and services in tough or harsh conditions and environments such as deep underground in mines, exposed to the elements in solar and wind power installations, or on construction vehicles or ships. IIoT is often used for tasks such as automation, remote monitoring […]
5 IoT Connectivity Considerations for Successful IoT Projects
As IoT evolves, projects are shifting from being experimental and exploratory to business critical. This makes them more complex, ensures they receive more scrutiny and, inevitably, increases the opportunities for things to go wrong. This is even more true when you consider that IoT devices and solutions have a long shelf life, making long-term success […]
The Subtle Art of Low-Power Cellular IoT
Cellular IoT is gaining momentum and growing in popularity, especially the low-power standards NB-IoT, LTE-M, and LTE Cat 1(bis). The novel energy-saving modes eDRX and PSM promise devices to be operational for many years on a single charge, making it easier and more cost-effective to deploy IoT devices in volume. Getting your energy profile right […]
