The next generation of mobile networks, 6G, is expected to revolutionize how we experience and interact with technology. With improved speed, latency, and connectivity, 6G networks will bring substantial advancements in imaging, presence technology, and location awareness, working alongside artificial intelligence (AI). However, it is essential to note that 6G technology is not yet functional, …
Currently, the property sector faces major challenges in terms of energy use and energy management. One solution to get this under control can be digitalisation. Digitalisation is in full swing Tenants and property managers expect more digital ways of working – and things are moving fast. It can be challenging, but digitisation is by no …
When joining two antenna cables or mounting an antenna onto a connector, the most common problem is over-tightening the connector. Tightening the connector too much can cause issues. How to tighten the antennaconnector Over-tightening the connector can cause the centre pin and sleeve to grip onto each other and start rotating. When they begin to …

What is the difference between the Yagi antenna and the Log periodic antenna? I frequently hear people call large antennas with many elements Yagi antennas. But if you want to be picky, it needs to be corrected. The word directional antenna would have been correct. The name of Hidetsugu Yagi’s invention has been equated with …
Do you remember M2M, the predecessor to IoT? You may think they mean the same, but they have significant differences. M2M vs. IoT: Understanding the Differences M2M is a traditional system setup used to manage a specific process’s monitoring, control, or optimization. M2M involves connecting particular parts of a process to exchange information. For instance, …
One of the essential concepts in wireless communication is the Fresnel zone. An elliptical region surrounds a straight line-of-sight communication path between two points. The Fresnel zone plays a crucial role in wireless communication. It determines the clearance required between transmitting and receiving antennas to ensure that the transmitted signal is received with minimal interference. …
A link budget shows how a communication signal is amplified and weakened in a link, a connection in a communication system. Although link budgets can cover everything from coaxial cable networks to fibre or radio links, we will focus on radio links in this post. Radio links like mobile or private radio networks behave similarly …
The Internet of Things, or IoT, is a collection of disruptive technologies. IoT is one of several tools for digitizing work methods and organizational processes. The Internet of Things market is fragmented, with various technical solutions solving problems across multiple market verticals. IoT solutions exist for almost every vertical, including industrial IoT, medical IoT, etc. …
Time for some mythbusting. Last year when I spoke at the Things conference, I described the battle in the massive IoT market as a tug-of-war between two technologies; LoRaWAN and 4G/5G.I have been trying to shed more light on the respective technology’s similarities and superpowers in the last year. Both standards are essential for each …
