IoT connectivity is growing by leaps and bounds, promising amazing changes ahead. Experience is rapidly bearing out the predicted trend of a stunning number of “smart” devices appearing in businesses, at home, and in the public sphere.
Greater openness across IoT data ecosystems will result in a broader range of services being offered to end users.
IoT is all about connecting things and enabling them to communicate, but communication is only possible when standards exist for the exchange. Currently, several systems are fighting for supremacy. Can we expect a common language for IoT?
Technologists and business titans are all pushing the limits of technology in a breathtaking sprint to bring robots to our streets. Their vision for using urban robots in our cities seems to be limitless. We ask how far, and how fast, is this progressing, and to what ends?
The ecosystem of connectivity solutions is very competitive in these still-early days of IoT. Senet has rolled out their own LoRa WAN (Long Range Wide Area Network) solutions for the low-power, broad-network needs of IoT, providing coverage and connectivity readiness in over 80 countries and 225 cities across the U.S. We sat down with Senet’s president and CEO, Bruce Chatterley, to talk about where he sees LoRa as a connectivity option of preference, where growth will happen, and how he sees this new network infrastructure growing out.
Many companies face the challenge of realizing their IoT projects, and agencies can help. Their services range from the examination of the idea to developing the operational prototype. We explain how IoT agencies differ and what to look for in the selection and cooperation.
Unlike their military counterparts, civilian GNSS systems are vulnerable to jamming and spoofing. Cybercrime in Space must change.
For years, different navigation satellite systems, primarily the United States’ GPS and Russia’s Glonass, have allowed people and organizations to detect their devices and compute locations accurately and securely. However, the more that 5G, automated driving, and smart cities become mainstream, it’s becoming clear that a broader range of location-based applications will need to be supported to meet specific market and individual needs.
As technology advances, businesses are amassing more and more data. With the advent of cloud computing (to Edge Computing), and with more servers and greater bandwidth than ever before, we now have the ability to both generate and store enormous volumes of it.
Analytics services are moving to the edge but ensuring the physical security of edge devices can be a real headache. Device Security providers often take very different approaches to securing the edge, and finding the right strategy for enterprises and organizations will vary by IoT business case, not to mention risk management.
Global IoT-Provider ORBCOMM announced that the Argentinian IoT company Ponce will utilize their satellite IoT technology. Ponce specializes in agricultural efficiency, helping farmers throughout Latin America gain substantial cost savings and preserve water through its irrigation solutions.
Nordic Semiconductor announced that Dutch engineering and design specialist, SODAQ is using a Nordic System-in-Package (SiP) in the world’s first solar-powered, perpetual operation cellular IoT asset tracker.
Nokia announced that it has been selected by China Mobile IoT (CMIoT) – a subsidiary of the China Mobile Communications Corporation – to ensure delivery of IoT connectivity and services to the companies customers across China and globally.
Angelpaw, the global leader in cloud SaaS software that empowers pet crematoriums, veterinarians and pet parents, today announced the world’s only Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) real-time pet tracking platform.
Vodafone’s R&D team have built a prototype smart product recall system that allows manufacturers to notify consumers of recalled faulty or potentially dangerous electrical goods, and shut them down remotely if needed, including tumble dryers, washing machines, fridges and freezers.
