Nestwave, a global leader in low-power geolocation for the IoT, has announced that Renesas will be employing Nestwave technology in a new LTE-M/NB-IoT platform that the semiconductor manufacturer will be launching as a result of its licensing agreements with Sequans Communications, a leading provider of cellular IoT chips and modules.

Nestwave has announced the availability of a whitepaper that looks at the challenges associated with integrating accurate geolocation into compact, battery-powered, low-cost IoT nodes.

The young French company Nestwave , which has developed a geolocation technology which avoids the use of a positioning circuit by GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) satellites and which relies on the resources of the cellular communication chips traditionally present in connected objects, announces the integration of its IP into a secure communication circuit for long-range, low-power radio networks (LPWAN) from the Munich firm Trasna Solutions.

France-based Nestwave announced that the company’s technology is being integrated into a new all-in-one ultra-efficient narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) chipset from IoT secure hardware and software specialist Trasna Solutions. Developed by Trasna, the Safe-IoT Chipset will offer a fully integrated NB-IoT platform for low-power wide-area networks (LPWANs) embedding RISC-V cores for application, security and radio and enabling iSIM and Nestwave GNSS, the company said.

NestCore IP provides accurate positioning for Safe-IoT NB-IoT chipset targeted at long-life battery-powered IoT devices.

Nestwave, a low-power geolocation for the IoT, has announced that Ciaran Connell will join the company’s board of directors in March.

Nestwave is collaborating with Samea Innovation to create ThinTrack, a thin, reusable logistics tracker with a multi-year battery life. Unveiled at CES 2022, ThinTrack uses Nestwave’s geolocation technology to reduce power consumption and extend battery life. Nestwave received development support from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 program.

Sequans Communications S.A., a provider of 5G/4G cellular IoT connectivity solutions, announced the availability of low-power GNSS positioning capability on its Monarch 2 LTE-M/NB-IoT platform. The integrated GNSS solution offers Sequans’ IoT customers accurate positioning with lower power consumption, removing the need for an external positioning chipset for an overall higher performing, lower cost tracking solution.

Nestwave is collaborating with Sequans to deliver accurate and efficient GNSS positioning for low-power internet of things tracking.

Nestwave IP provides latest Sequans LTE-M/NB-IoT platform with low-power, low component count, small form factor geolocation.

French IP developer Nestwave is working with Sequans Communications to add GNSS positioning to the Sequans Monarch 2 LTE-M/NB-IoT platform.

The new low power GNSS capability on Monarch 2 leverages Nestwave technology and is ideal for a wide variety of intermittent tracking use cases, including car, bike, scooter, and other personal asset trackers; logistics and fleet trackers; pet, farm animal, and people trackers; emergency assistance beacons; and various types of smart city trackers. Monarch 2 GM02SP module offers multi-functional mode selection with power consumption in the range of a few hundred microwatt-hours per location fix. Power consumption can be adjusted for each fix depending on the use case or for a new triggered event such as emergency asset recovery.

Nestwave a provider of low-power geolocation IP and cloud services for Internet of Things (IoT) applications, has been selected as winner of the “GPS-based Solution of the Year” award in the fourth annual Mobile Breakthrough Awards program

Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS) and Nestwave today announced a collaboration to combine Nestwave’s soft core GPS navigation IP with the Synopsys DesignWare® ARC® IoT Communications IP Subsystem for a complete low-power global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) solution for integration into IoT modems.

Smartphone and in-vehicle navigation systems have some drawbacks. Localization accuracy in critical indoor and dense urban environments is often insufficient, and smartphone batteries drain faster. These challenges multiply when faced with the constraints and requirements of IoT applications. Paris-based Nestwave has decided to take a different approach to IoT geolocation and claims improved indoor sensitivity, better accuracy, and shorter time-to-first-fix.

MUST announced during its IoT Trends Virtual Exhibition that Nestwave was named Most Innovative Startup for their geolocation IP and Cloud services for IoT modems and DSP vendors. Nestwave technology dramatically lowers the power and cost of IoT devices with geolocation capabilities, while increasing the accuracy in challenging environments. It enables new types of IoT devices that can add geolocation features while keeping the cost and battery life under control.

Nestwave announces today that two technical papers have been published in the 2020 Journal of the IEEE / Institute of Navigation (ION) Position, Location and Navigation Symposium (PLANS). The papers describe novel advances in geolocation algorithms providing substantially increased performance and robustness for Nestwave geolocation solutions.
