Whether you know it as toll-free data or as zero-rating system, the concept that has raised quite a few discussions lately in the telecom world translates into a specially tailored carrier service that facilitates the users’ access to certain internet services without any costs on the bill. Such s
Unless some brave new technology emerges and quickly catches up with the existing Radio Frequency (RF) sensor network, it looks like the Internet of Things will be RF-based. Various embedded sensors have already established their presence with the vendors, the providers and the manufacturers. The
What if paying for unnecessary features actually is unintentional and could be avoided for some technologies, especially at the micro level? It surely seems to be the case for high-speed, high-bandwidth LTE chipsets. Supporting a lower speed would suffice for the particular network necessities of
Software-defined radio (SDR technology) takes system elements that are typically hardware components and implements them by means of a dedicated software on a PC or embedded system. Classical exemplifying elements for SDR tech are mixers, filters, modulators or detectors. Both the transmitter and
Software-defined networking allows network administrators to manage high-level functionality through abstraction, by decoupling the control plane from the data plane (physical and logical networks are separated via this configuration), and by interposing a mechanism that allows communications
The 5G standard represents the long awaited next major development in mobile telecommunications. With an estimated roll-out time within the next five years, 5G would meet the needs of IoT connectivity. A short history of 5G communication technology A significant partnership between NASA and the
