LC86G series increases the number of visible satellites - Quectel

Based on the latest enhanced chipset, the new Quectel LC86G series GNSS module supports concurrent reception of GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BDS and QZSS. The LC86G series is designed to be compatible with Quectel L80 and L86 modules, allowing for smooth migration between them.

By enabling multiple GNSS constellations, the LC86G series increases the number of visible satellites, reduces the time to first fix and improves positioning accuracy, especially when driving through dense urban canyons.
The integrated antenna on top of the module makes it easier and faster to design, and eliminating most of the RF problems during the design stages.

The integrated LNA that delivers high sensitivity effectuates high accuracy positioning, fast signal tracking and acquisition and better module performance even in challenging environments.
Based on its enhanced performance and low power consumption, the LC86G series is perfectly suited for applications such as real-time tracking systems and sharing economy services.

The internet of things (IoT) spans multiple technologies, including real-time data, machine learning, commodity sensors and embedded systems. ASUS has worked hard to make Tinker Board a premier IoT product with high-level specifications and dedicated support.

ASUS has been innovating continuously for more than three decades and during that time has worked with customers around the world to help them turn their ideas into reality. Together with the Tinker Board series, we're building an online community where people with similar interests can share ideas and build relationships in a supportive environment.
 

Smart modules - SC206E series - Quectel

The SC206E series is Quectel’s new generation of multi-mode LTE Cat 4 smart module. Based on Qualcomm 64-bit quadcore Cortex-A53 processors with built-in Adreno 702 GPU, it is ideal for both industrial and consumer applications requiring high data rates, multimedia functions and long lifetime support.

The SC206E series is available in three variants: SC206E-EM, SC206E-NA, and the Wi-Fi & Bluetooth-only-version SC206E-WF. SC206E supports multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technology. The use of multiple antennas at the receiver end on the same frequency band greatly minimizes errors and improves data speeds. This module also combines high-speed wireless connectivity with an embedded multi-constellation and high-sensitivity GNSS receiver supporting GPS, BDS, GLONASS, Galileo, QZSS, SBAS (SC206E-NA supports NavIC and L1 + L5) for positioning.

A rich set of interfaces (such as LCM, camera, touch panel, MIC, line out, UART, USB, I2C and SPI) allow the module to serve a wide range of IoT applications - including edge devices, edge computing, smart POS, smart cash registers, smart home gateways, smart robots, smart wearables, security, PDA & tablets, vending machines, delivery lockers, video streaming and entertainment systems.
 

The Revolution of Indoor Tracking Technology - Ambiq

Real-time location and sensor solutions (RTLSS) is a game-changing technology that can detect, report, and analyze the location and condition of assets and people in real time.

RTLSS uses radio-based protocols such as Bluetooth® Low Energy, Wirepas Wireless Mesh, and Ultra-Wideband. These industrial internet of things (IIoT) technologies have gained massive popularity recently.

This is especially true regarding indoor-based and artificial intelligence applications, and they’re poised to revolutionize fitness tracking, healthcare, grocery logistics, and supply chain management. 

The horizons of real-time location and sensor solutions are far broader when supported by long-range and low-power IoT devices. Since these devices perform computing operations at the edge, they need to ensure their processors can perform these tasks on a low electrical charge.  

Ultra-low-power wireless System on Chip (SoC) solutions from Ambiq® work together to enable critical IIoT technologies in key industrial sectors.

Read more about Ambiq's revolution of indoor tracking.

Built on their patented Subthreshold Power Optimized Technology (SPOT®) platform, Ambiq’s products reduce the total system power consumption on the order of nanoamps for all battery-powered endpoint devices.
