Designing a miniaturized LTE-M antenna quickly runs into the Chu-Harrington limit. Harald Naumann explains why development costs rise exponentially as PCB size shrinks – and how just 10 mm more board length can save €70,000 in engineering effort.
Europe is emerging as an important hub for satellite-based IoT communication. In particular, numerous operators and technology providers across the continent are active in the field of Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) and direct-to-device (D2D) approaches. A large share of the currently known 5G-NTN-LEO satellite initiatives originates in Europe.
Keeping our cities clean with smart waste bins: Intelligent waste management with smart containers could avoid overfilled waste bins and saving municipalities a lot of money. Harald Naumann, engineer in information electronics, explains how.
