Featured Webinar
Join IoT experts from TE Connectivity (TE), u-blox, and Telefónica Germany for a discussion on:
- The multiple levels of IoT product certifications and their impact on antenna performance requirements.
- The impact of RF modules on wireless IoT device performance.
- Best practice sharing on IoT application design.
The development of wireless technology has helped enable the exponential growth of the Internet of Things (IoT).
Today, millions of IoT devices are interconnected on wireless networks, gathering and sending data, and impacting all aspects of society and life. Before these devices are launched into the market, they must be carefully designed to achieve excellent performance. Antennas and RF modules are essential parts of a wireless IoT device. A well-integrated RF module and antenna enable longer range, better battery life and improved signal quality. Furthermore, the devices must navigate through multiple levels of complex certification approvals to certify the product complies with government regulations, industry standards, and mobile network operators’ requirements, providing seamless network interoperability and user experience. Therefore, the design and certification approval processes of an IoT device can be costly and time-consuming.
This webinar invites four industry experts to discuss best practices when designing IoT devices to achieve connectivity efficiency, improved use of on-device and mobile network resources, product certification, and ultimately, bringing products to market faster with cost efficiencies.
