Foreword

As we head into the holiday season, we are thankful for you, our partner, and everybody shaping the future of electronics.

From the TOP-team, we want to share technologies that could support your designs in 2026. With the rise of AI and increasingly connected systems, we see a growing need for robust networking, low-latency processing, and scalable power solutions.

In this edition, we focus on what it takes to build future-proof systems. From enabling 5G and satellite connectivity in a single module, to external antennas that bring reliable GNSS positioning, and efficient processing for Edge AI, these are the building blocks of tomorrow’s designs.

Our goal is to support you with technology that is available for the long run, scalable, and proven, backed by technical and logistic support that helps you integrate it quickly and with confidence.

Let’s continue turning complex challenges into working solutions, together.

Wishing you a joyful, healthy, and innovative 2026

On behalf of the TOP-team
Arco Snoey, CEO & Founder, your design-support distributor TOP-electronics

5G-ready, ultra-compact satellite communication module

This 5G-ready, NTN module from Quectel is compliant with 3GPP E-UTRA release 13/14/17. It is an extremely compact LTE Cat M1/ NB1/ NB2/ NB-IoT NTN module with ultra-low power consumption.

Some key features:

- NTN and 5G-ready satellite communication module

- LGA form factor

- 14.9 mm ×12.9 mm ×1.9 mm

- Extended temperature of -40 °C to +85 °C

- Global coverage over the GEO constellation

High-performance, multi-band GNSS antenna for critical applications

This robust multi-band GNSS antenna is built for high-accuracy positioning in challenging outdoor environments. Its RHCP polarization and excellent out-of-band rejection make it ideal for noise-sensitive designs.

With support for GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, and QZSS, it ensures reliable performance across global satellite systems.

Designed for integration in applications like fleet tracking, autonomous systems, agriculture, and industrial IoT, this active antenna combines high LNA gain (28 dB), low noise figure (2.5 dB), and IP67-rated housing.
