5G Connected
Sport has the mission to create a phoneless experience
for athletes through smart wearable products using LPWAN (NB-IoT & LTE-M)
mobile technologies. Our target is to provide emergency, sports
performance tracking and injury prevention solutions for athletes without using
an additional smartphone.
As part of the project, the Institute for Electronics Engineering (LTE)
researched the cellular IoT standards NB-IoT & LTE-M with respect to energy
efficiency. Energy-saving features were gradually implemented in prototypes to
make the energy consumption of a smart jacket and smart shoe more efficient.
