Power efficiency is the defining challenge of cellular IoT—especially for asset tracking devices that must operate globally, last for years on a single battery, and maintain reliable connectivity across diverse and often remote environments. This session introduces HD-FDD (Half-Duplex Frequency Division Duplexing) as a critical innovation for reducing power consumption in embedded cellular designs, unlocking new opportunities for energy-conscious, globally connected devices.
We’ll examine how HD-FDD technology reduces complexity and lowers power draw compared to traditional FDD implementations, while still supporting LTE-M and 5G RedCap networks. Attendees will also explore the role of Sony’s Altair ALT1350 platform as a best-in-class example of low-power system integration—combining multi-protocol connectivity (LTE-M, NB-IoT, GNSS, Wi-Fi Sniffing, and BLE) in a compact, ultra-efficient form factor.
In addition, we’ll cover the benefits of OneSKU design, which allows a single hardware configuration to serve global markets—simplifying certification, inventory, and operational overhead. This session is ideal for embedded engineers and IoT solution designers looking to extend device longevity, streamline global deployments, and master power-optimized architecture for the next generation of asset tracking.
