Cloud-Star 4G/5G Router Antenna maximises network coverage

Cloud-Star technology supply a 4G/5G terminal antenna manufatured by Panorama Antennas for wireless routers, mobile devices and payment terminals that will boost the network coverage in areas where the 4G/5G signal is poor and improve the performance of your mobile device.

The antenna has an articulated right angle reverse polarity SMA male connector which connects to the 4G/5G WiFi RF port on the equipment.

The ultra wide band design ensures that the antenna picks up the strongest possible signal and is ideal for business critical applications.

The antenna is ground plane independent and covers the following frequecies: 615-960/1710-3800/4900-6000MHz.

The antenna is compatible with most 4G/5G routers and terminals that have a reverse polarity SMA RF port including: Cradlepoint, Sierra Wireless, Peplink, EE and Vodaphone.

The part number for the antenna is: PWB-6-60-RSMAP and it is available from Cloud-Star technology.

CLASS intelligent transport software makes Modena smarter in real-life

Cutting-edge software technology developed by the European project CLASS is now being tested on connected cars in the Modena Automotive Smart Area (MASA), a real urban laboratory in northern Italy. The CLASS framework is powering compelling smart city applications, from digital traffic signs and smart parking to air pollution simulation and pedestrian avoidance applications.

Allowing the execution of big-data analytics under real-time constraints, the CLASS software architecture provides a solution to the problems of managing extremely large amounts of complex data (pedestrians, traffic, vehicles, etc.) in real time. Data-in-motion and data-at-rest analytics are integrated into a single development framework, which works with real-time guarantees.

“It’s thrilling to see our technology powering the smart city use cases which will make our urban areas safer and less congested,” said Eduardo Quiñones, senior researcher at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC) and coordinator of the CLASS project. “Thanks to its capacity to process big data analytics under real-time constraints, the CLASS framework is a significant step towards making safe connected vehicles a reality.”

“With the MASA, the city of Modena is combining the proud Italian tradition of high-end cars with the needs of modern smart cities,” said Luca Chiantore, manager of the department of Smart city, demographic services and participation of the Modena City Council. “We are delighted to be testing out the most innovative smart-city technologies, paving the way towards a truly responsive urban area which will improve quality of life for all citizens.”

The first outcomes of this smart city use case resulted in different applications, which will improve the traffic and pollution conditions of modern urban environments.

All the software architecture components have been defined and are available to download on the dedicated CLASS GitHub channel: https://github.com/class-euproject

A real smart city use case in Modena

The CLASS software is being evaluated in the Modena Automotive Smart Area (MASA), a real urban laboratory in the city of Modena. Data is already being generated and collected from IoT devices and sensors located in the MASA and on the high-tech equipped Maserati cars.

Initial tests started generating a knowledge base with combined information of the city and the cars, upon which the following advanced smart city applications are being implemented:

The Digital traffic sign application allows for evaluating and improving real-time traffic conditions by advising on best routes available, for instance in the case of accidents or emergency vehicles.The Air pollution simulation estimates the pollution emissions of the moving vehicles in real-time.The Smart parking gathers and provides real-time data on the available parking lots within the area.The Obstacle detection warns the drivers about pedestrians and objects that appear on their way, even if it is not visible to the car.

About CLASS

CLASS (Edge and Cloud Computation: A Highly Distributed Software for Big Data Analytics) is a European funded project with a budget of €3.9 million which started on 1 January 2018 and ends on 31 December 2020. Coordinated by Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC, Spain), the project brings together a multidisciplinary consortium composed by all stakeholders needed for the development of business innovations using real big-data including vendors from the ICT industry such as Atos Spain S.A. (Spain) and IBM Israel, users across different smart city domain sectors including private and public organizations such as the Comune di Modena (Italy) and Maserati SPA (Italy) and researchers such as the Universita degli Studi di Modena e Reggio Emilia (UNIMORE, Italy).
