You can probably agree that range is one of the most important factors when determining what wireless communication system to use for industrial asset tracking and monitoring. Many companies choose Bluetooth Low Energy (LE) due to its reduced power consumption and extended battery life, in turn resulting in lower infrastructure costs. The question is, how […]
Multi-access edge computing (MEC), virtualised network function (VNF) and 5G give service providers powerful new ways to maximise scalability, flexibility and operational efficiency while enabling new services and revenue streams.
