The future of data, Edge Data Center, is equivalent to a mini data centre. Its proximity to enterprises eliminates latency and other limitations, giving access to real-time data. In this article, we will delve into its core concepts, advancements, operational challenges, and real-time applications.
The 2G and 3G switch-off is reshaping IoT connectivity worldwide, making migration to 4G, 5G, LTE-M, or NB-IoT essential to avoid outages and ensure future-ready devices.
NR+ is the first non-cellular 5G standard enabling massive IoT with low latency, long range, and operator-free private networks — powered by Nordic and Wirepas for scalable, resilient deployments.
Article #2 of Mastering RF Engineering: RF signal chains are key to wireless systems. Learn how components like amplifiers, filters, and mixers help plan RF designs, balance performance needs, and decide between custom-built or pre-made modules.
In the future, drones will take off automatically and head to an emergency scene immediately after the emergency call, transmitting initial aerial images to the emergency services control centre – even before the relevant personnel arrive.
Whether designing a window in an airliner or a cable conduit for an engine, manufacturers devote a lot of effort to reinforcing openings for structural integrity. But the reinforcement is rarely perfect and often creates structural weaknesses elsewhere.
