Harxon releases frequency-hopping OEM modem

Harxon has launched the HX-DU2017D, a frequency-hopping OEM modem designed to provide strong anti-jamming and signal receiving capability for complex data-intensive applications.

HX-DU2017D is a miniature, dual-frequency, software-selectable 840 MHz and 900 MHz data link modem. It provides a power switching of 0.5 W, 1 W and 2 W, 20 ms/30 ms/40 ms/50 ms/ frequency hopping interval, and supports point-to-point, point-to-multipoint network.

Its full duplex mode ensures secure data transferring and stable long-range communication, the company said.

HX-DU2017D also provides short latency of data transmission and communication recovery in millisecond level.

According to Harxon, HX-DU2017D allows fast and secure, simultaneous data communication for mission-critical applications, especially in the fields of precision agriculture and UAVs, including unmanned plant surveys, UAV plant protection and automatic mowers.

It could easily be placed on a UAV with its extremely small footprint for tight OEM integration and design flexibility. Meanwhile, its frequency hopping transmission ensures the data security and flight stability.

Telit releases category 11 LTE full mini PCIe card
Telit has launched the LM940, a global Full PCI Express Mini Card (mPCIe) module for the router and gateway industry supporting LTE Advanced Category 11 (Cat 11) with speeds of up to 600 Mbps.

The internet of things (IoT) module is available with various mobile network operator approvals in the fourth quarter of 2017, the company said.

The module includes quad-constellation integrated GNSS and is in an mPCIe form factor to support Cat 11 with the Snapdragon X12 LTE modem. The industrial-grade LM940 delivers significant flexibility and a competitive edge to original equipment manufacturers (OEM) looking to quickly deploy next generation products.

Today, customers of router and gateway OEMs demand additional bandwidth and near instant network response times as applications like high definition video streaming with digital signage, commercial and enterprise failover needs and pop-up stores are becoming increasingly sophisticated.

“This industrial-grade module from Telit supporting LTE Cat 11 with global coverage will be very attractive for equipment manufacturers looking to deploy the latest solutions now, especially in the router and gateway market supporting high-bandwidth dependent applications like digital signage,” said Sam Lucero, senior principal analyst for IHS Markit, a global information provider. “As detailed in our June 2016 report on the industrial cellular IoT gateways market, IHS Markit anticipates gateway shipments will rise from nearly two million shipped in 2016 to more than six million shipped in 2021. The value of these industrial cellular IoT gateways shipped in 2021 will slightly exceed USD $1.6 billion.“

“Telit extends its leadership again by delivering customers the latest releases in LTE Advanced technology that they can take to market today,” said Manish Watwani, vice president of global product marketing for Telit. “The LM940 is the only global product for the router and gateway segment that allows OEMs to immediately leverage the 3x carrier aggregation and the higher order modulation of the 256 QAM capabilities currently available amongst most mobile operator networks. Combined with an exceptional power efficiency platform, this is by far the ideal solution to enable commercial and enterprise applications in the router industry, such as branch office connectivity, LTE failover, digital signage, kiosks, pop-up stores, vehicle routers, construction sites and more.”

“The Snapdragon X12 LTE modem with LTE Advanced technologies providing peak download speeds of 600 Mbps, defines a new level of service for emerging applications,” says Gautam Sheoran, director of product management for Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. “We are pleased with our ongoing collaboration with Telit to bring technologies that enable emerging applications like 4K video, virtual reality and cognitive computing to the global market.“

Additional technical features include:
- LTE Category 11 LTE Cat. 11 DL / Cat. 5 UL Rel.10
- 3x Carrier Aggregation leverages extended capabilities of the network for increased coverage and bandwidth
- Up to 600 Mbps DL w/3x Carrier Aggregation and 256 QAM
- Up to 75 Mbps UL w/ 64QAM
- HSPA+ Rel. 8
- Quad-constellation integrated GNSS
- Popular mPCIe form factor (50.95 x 30 x 2.8 mm)
- Temperature range: -40 to 85° C
- Linux and Windows driver support

4G LTE RTK Bridge-X enables configuration without a cable
Housed inside the construction trailer, the RTK Bridge-X with its Ethernet connectivity can physically connect to the internet via an Ethernet cable and then transmit corrections it obtains via both an internal and an external radio, simultaneously.

Intuicom has released the Intuicom 4G LTE RTK Bridge-X Communication Hub for the survey, machine control and precision agriculture markets.

Enhancing the extensive communication capabilities of the standard-setting RTK Bridge product line, the 4G LTE RTK Bridge-X lets users leverage the faster upload/download speeds, the expanded coverage and enhanced connectivity offered by 4G LTE providers including Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile.

Supporting all leading precision guidance systems and GNSS manufacturers, the 4G LTE RTK Bridge-X is different from less robust modems by allowing users to access, configure and manage their device from their smartphone, tablet or laptop without being connected by a physical cable.

With the 4G LTE RTK Bridge-X, productivity in the field can increase. Key features include:

The 4G LTE RTK Bridge-X by Intuicom.
- Faster upload and download speeds.
- Access, configure and manage without a cable.
- Improved Wi-Fi and internet capabilities.
- Enhanced connectivity.
- Bluetooth functionality.
- UHF and 900-megahertz radio options.
- Expanded coverage.
- Quicker access to real-time networks.
- Ethernet interface for LAN (local area network) connectivity to the internet.
- Compatible with all major precision guidance systems and GNSS manufacturers.
- Cloud-based remote support available.
“Given the success of the RTK Bridge-X, some manufacturers might be tempted to leave well enough alone, but Intuicom has never been satisfied to sit on our laurels,” says Tom Foley, Intuicom president and CEO. “The 4G LTE RTK Bridge-X further extends our functionality while maintaining our commitment to robust communications in an easy to use device.”

Ethernet interface. Users can take advantage of the device’s Ethernet interface rather than the embedded cell modem to access the Internet. This capability enables the 4G LTE RTK Bridge-X to be connected via Ethernet to a LAN that has internet access, further enhancing flexibility and expanded functionality.
