Qualcomm MDM9207-1 and MDM9206 LTE Modems for IoT

29.10.2015

With the growing interest in the Internet of Things (IoT), there is a growing need for cost-effective and reliable means of connecting to the global network, designed to be integrated into a variety of IoT devices. Qualcomm has introduced suitable LTE modems for this role, which are designated MDM9207-1 and MDM9206.

The MDM9207-1 modem is designed specifically for IoT applications such as smart meters, security and accounting devices, vending machines, wearable electronic devices and industrial automation. According to the manufacturer, in these cases, you need a reliable and energy-efficient connection to cloud services. The modem supports LTE Category 1, providing download speeds up to 10 Mbps and upload speeds up to 5 Mbps. It supports LTE FDD, LTE TDD, DC-HSPA, GSM and TD-SCDMA standards.

The modem has an ARM Cortex-A7 processor running at 1,2 GHz. Among the advantages of the MDM9207-1, we can highlight the support for voice communication using Circuit Switched Fall Back (CSFB) and VoLTE, as well as support for GPS, Beidou, Glonass and Galileo satellite navigation systems. According to the manufacturer, the Power Save Mode (PSM) allows designs with the MDM9207-1 to operate for more than 10 years without replacing the power supply. The modem application development environment is Linux.

The modem is produced using 28-nanometer technology. Its appearance in serial products is expected in the first half of 2016.

As for the MDM9206 modem, it will allow manufacturers to endow their devices with low-cost network connectivity with low bandwidth, as it will comply with the Cat-M (eMTC) and NB-IOT specifications. The manufacturer promises to tell more about MDM9206 when the 3GPP Rel.13 standard is adopted, which will include these specifications.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

New method for creating powerful batteries 08.05.2024

With the development of technology and the expanding use of electronics, the issue of creating efficient and safe energy sources is becoming increasingly urgent. Researchers at the University of Queensland have unveiled a new approach to creating high-power zinc-based batteries that could change the landscape of the energy industry. One of the main problems with traditional water-based rechargeable batteries was their low voltage, which limited their use in modern devices. But thanks to a new method developed by scientists, this drawback has been successfully overcome. As part of their research, scientists turned to a special organic compound - catechol. It turned out to be an important component that can improve battery stability and increase its efficiency. This approach has led to a significant increase in the voltage of zinc-ion batteries, making them more competitive. According to scientists, such batteries have several advantages. They have b ... >>

Alcohol content of warm beer 07.05.2024

Beer, as one of the most common alcoholic drinks, has its own unique taste, which can change depending on the temperature of consumption. A new study by an international team of scientists has found that beer temperature has a significant impact on the perception of alcoholic taste. The study, led by materials scientist Lei Jiang, found that at different temperatures, ethanol and water molecules form different types of clusters, which affects the perception of alcoholic taste. At low temperatures, more pyramid-like clusters form, which reduces the pungency of the "ethanol" taste and makes the drink taste less alcoholic. On the contrary, as the temperature increases, the clusters become more chain-like, resulting in a more pronounced alcoholic taste. This explains why the taste of some alcoholic drinks, such as baijiu, can change depending on temperature. The data obtained opens up new prospects for beverage manufacturers, ... >>

Growing new teeth 10.04.2021

Japanese researchers have developed an experimental technique for growing teeth. Now this technology is being tested on laboratory animals. The method of treatment with monoclonal antibodies is described. These antibodies cause the body to grow new teeth.

As part of the study, it was possible to fix that blocking a gene called USAG-1 leads to an increase in the activity of bone morphogenetic protein. These molecules regulate the growth of various organs and tissues, including teeth.

However, this technology has several nuances. The fact is that the morphogenetic protein controls the development of a huge number of human organs. Interference with its work can cause many serious side effects.

During the experiments, the team tested a number of different monoclonal antibodies that alter the ability of USAG-1 to interact with bone morphogenetic protein. Fortunately, the researchers found a specific antibody that didn't cause side effects.

After that, the method was tested on animals. In this way, the team was able to stimulate tooth growth in laboratory mice. Subsequent experiments on ferrets yielded successful results.

Interestingly, ferret teeth are more like human teeth. Therefore, the success of research on these animals gives hope that the results of experiments with humans will also justify themselves.
