modems will enable longer battery lifetimes and faster connection and disconnection to and from the network, allowing devices to wake up and transmit information, then quickly disconnect and return to sleep mode. From the component suppliers’ perspective, the short-term
picture of network coverage is somewhat unclear, so they have adopted a strategy of developing combination modems that support Cat-M1, NB and 2G fallback, to minimise the development risk for projects coming to market in the near future. But, 5G networks and their ecosystem will grow fast over the coming years for both
IoT and mobile broadband applications, and embedded developers should be ready to take advantage immediately. Future Electronics can support developers in their evolution
toward 5G. It does so today by providing 5G-ready LPWAN products and modules from manufacturers such as Gemalto (part of the Tales Group), Fibocom, Murata and Renesas. It also supports customers in the transition to 5G by offering expert technical advice from its Future Connectivity Solutions specialists and from its Paris-based connectivity Centre of Excellence.
