IoT Security: Identity of things
Every device, app, service, and interface in IoT needs its own identity, which operators can use to track and analyze activity. This is not only used to identify problems but also to protect the systems from attacks, attempted fraud, and espionage.
EU Radio Equipment Directive: How Insecure is Consumer IoT?
A principal factor that will shape the views of the EU Radio Equipment Directive (RED) delegated act relates to how significant groups or individuals view the scale of the cybersecurity problem in consumer devices.
eSIMs: The Great IoT Connectivity Lockdown
When you move house your devices go with you. It’s not so simple in the global communications world but eSIMs promise to break through the barriers that tie us down.
5G Campus Networks: Build your own
Amazon has thrown down the gauntlet to the classic retail trade with its “Just Walk Out” high-street stores. This scared traditional traders but, while China is mobilizing billions to compete, Europe is relying on its culture of regionally fissured markets that has grown over centuries. It is a weakness and a strength at the same time.

eSIM and Blockchain from the very beginning: Making IoT more Independant
G+D Mobile Security’s product uses a novel combination of eSIM and blockchain technology. It forms a scalable framework that can be extended from air freight to encompass land and sea operations.
Power Management: The Power of Nanopower
Changing batteries attached to ampere-sucking devices is a time-consuming, costly bore. The implementation of low-energy nanopower management not only enables longer battery life, or the use of free solar energy, but is also becoming a big-bucks market.
Smart Sensors: The Internet of Medical Things
Telemedicine is making a comeback as people become more health-conscious and reliably accurate technology falls in price and size to allow wearable devices to become more functional. Just as in wartime, the battle against Covid-19 has also accelerated the development of products that will create a healthier environment. The Internet of Medical Things is upon us with a vengeance.
Smart Companies: New IoT Solutions
Toyota plans to build the “city” of the future near of Mount Fuji in Japan and Edico Genome will change the way clinicians diagnose and treat deadly diseases with new IoT solutions.
The Power of IoT: A new ‘Systems Approach’
Internet of Things (IoT) is much more than the verbiage describing the interconnectivity of many “smart” sensors and devices. IoT’s advocates argue that its real power of IoT, and its value, derives from the fact that it allows all those “end points” to seamlessly communicate together, enabling improved intelligence and bringing simplicity to services in everyday life.
IoT and the Future of Retail: Done Dunning
Amazon has thrown down the gauntlet to the classic retail trade with its “Just Walk Out” high-street stores. This scared traditional traders but, while China is mobilizing billions to compete, Europe is relying on its culture of regionally fissured markets that has grown over centuries. It is a weakness and a strength at the same time.
Authentication and Identity Management: About Security and Things
Predictive Maintenance (PdM) is outgrowing industrial applications and starting to transform consumer products. More accessible and cost effective solutions will change the way we relate to technology.
Logistics: Automating the last 50 Feet
The last mile of the logistics chain is a huge challenge but the closer you approach your destination, the more complex and expensive it gets. Not coincidentally, the ‘last 50 feet’ is considered by experts to be the true bottleneck for e-commerce growth – and that’s where a large part of the future of retail is being decided. Start-ups and online retailers alike are working hard to close that final gap.
Smart Companies: Formula One and Acronis
Racing drivers and their teams obviously have no time to lose. That goes for laps and laptops: A typical Formula One race car can generate up to three terabytes of data over the course of a racing weekend – data that needs to be stored and sent back home to the team of developers who will use them to shave fractions of seconds off the car’s fastest round.
Augmented-Reality: Making a MES
Augmented-Reality (AR) is very much part of the digital revolution in manufacturing. By simply donning a hands-free headset, workers can add a virtual layer of contextual information on top of what they see before them along with detailed information about a machine or process. Today, AR is mainly used in maintenance but, once you realize that the application of AR is only limited by the imagination, that’s only the tip of the iceberg.
