Beyond Terrestrial Limits: Why Non-Terrestrial Networks Are Essential (But Not Perfect) for Remote IoT

Think of NTN as the marriage between your smartphone’s cellular brain and satellites floating around in space. Thanks to 3GPP Release 17 (yes, the same folks who gave us 5G), we now have standardized ways for your IoT devices to chat with satellites using the same protocols they’d use to talk to a cell tower.

LTE Cat 1 Bis Is The Way To Go. Here’s Why You Should Avoid The False Dilemma Of LTE Cat-M Vs. NB-IoT

Many businesses have opted for LTE Cat-M1 and NB-IoT due to their promises of low-power, wide-area (LPWA) connectivity at reduced costs. Both solutions were touted as game-changers for industries like agriculture, healthcare, logistics, and smart cities. Despite the initial buzz, adoption has been slower than expected, and so far, neither of these solutions has managed to set a common standard for the IoT industry. Let’s look at some of the reasons for their limited success.

Save your products From 2G Shutdown. IoT Device Manufacturers Need To Act Now

Telecom operators all over the world are switching off 2G. Within three years legacy networks will stop working, and so will IoT products incompatible with newer connectivity standards. Electronics manufacturers who have not yet transitioned must upgrade their devices as soon as possible or face tremendous business costs.

Design For Manufacturing: How To Ensure Smooth Transition To Mass Production

Electronics companies often face production hurdles when scaling up. Leveraging design for manufacturing (DFM) principles early in the design phase can help identify and address potential production issues before they escalate.

Electronic circuit design in the design-for-manufacturing model

The quality of designs in electronics depends on many factors. The experience of the ODM company providing such services, and its ability to apply good practices in design for manufacturing and design for testing are crucial. We explain how electronic circuit design works in the Fideltronik Group.

Maximizing Quality, Minimizing Risks: A Short Guide to Electronics Testing

Electronics testing can be a strategic advantage rather than a compliance hurdle. The challenge lies in designing an approach that aligns business goals with cost efficiency.
