Maybe it is just the way we ask the questions, but… test and measurement company Keysight Technologies has sought, effectively, to dispel any rumour and disquiet in the ranks about delays with industrial-grade 5G devices to go with industrial-grade private 5G networks. The US-based...
The Industry IoT Consortium (IIC) has released an industrial IoT and AI framework (IIAIF) to raise awareness of the value artificial intelligence (AI) can bring to industrial IoT systems, and to address emerging requirements and implementation challenges. The 60-page document says AI will become...
Another late entry from the MWC files, this time from a discussion with IBM; but another one, again, where the talk is somehow timeless, at least in a 2022/3 timeframe, and also sometimes abstract. “Sure, it is a ramble; but, then, nothing is certain,”...
Telefónica Tech, the digital change unit of Spain-based operator Telefónica, has acquired UK-based digital transformation and data analytics company Incremental for £175 million. Incremental, a major Microsoft partner in the UK, will be integrated into Telefónica Tech business in the UK and Ireland.
In the...
Barcelona based IoT antenna company Ignion is promising to reduce IoT antenna design “from days or weeks to minutes”, following the release of its new design and simulation platform on AWS. The platform, it said, will allow developers to integrate its so-called ‘virtual antenna’...
UK-based (Sweden-owned) IoT connectivity specialist Wyld Networks and US-based IoT solution provider TrakAssure have announced the first fruit of their joint labour, also with LoRaWAN system provider Senet and satellite operator Eutelsat, to deliver a “first-to-market” terrestrial-and-satellite IoT solution for the supply chain industry....
The (real) IoT market is both highly fragmented and deeply incestuous. This is not news, of course; it is to be expected for a market that is competitive and collaborative at the same time, and which coalesces systematically and regularly around new innovations. It...
Note, this article is taken from a new editorial report from Enterprise IoT Insights, Hybrid Low-Power IoT – How The IoT Industry Is Balancing Function And Efficiency. The report is available here, or by clicking on the image at the bottom of the page....
Last update from us on the Sigfox “soap opera” (someone else's words), almost / perhaps, before the credits roll at the end of next week on its latest tangled episode (or the whole tragic series) – and as Enterprise IoT Insights breaks from straight...
Nokia and Nordic Semiconductor are to make Nokia-owned Standard Essential Patent (SEP) licences available with the purchase of cellular IoT hardware from the Norway-based chip and module maker. The cellular IoT industry has moved systematically over the past 12 months, or so, to tackle...
Chip-maker Silicon Labs has introduced two families of 2.4 GHz wireless system-on-chips (SoCs), featuring integrated AI/ML accelerators and support, variously, for short-range protocols including Matter, Zigbee, OpenThread, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), and Bluetooth mesh.
The Austin-based firm said integrated (tinyML) AI/ML hardware acceleration in the...
Lord knows what Red Hat does, exactly, if you’ll excuse the language, but Christ knows it is good to talk to. And clearly, on the interplay between cellular networking and cloud computing at the enterprise edge, it should be listened to – as the...
The LoRa Alliance has added a number of new testing capabilities to its LoRaWAN Certification Test Tool (LCTT), for device makers to pre-test the performance of IoT solutions before seeking formal certification from a LoRa Alliance Authorized Test House (ATH). New capabilities in the...
There is a change in the IoT industry, and it has to do with the convergence of two other big developments. The first is the ongoing adoption of the cloud; the second is the rise of the enterprise developer using low-code/no-code software. Combined, these...
As a counterpoint to the drive towards lights-out industrial automation, and its own role in it as supplier of sundry Industry 4.0 componentry – including, as of last week, private 5G pyrotechnics and an expanded IoT arsenal – Amazon Web Services (AWS) is taking...
UK-based Arm has introduced a new cloud-based IoT design system to enable software development for IoT without the need for physical silicon. The new offering, called Arm Total Solutions for IoT, brings together the software and hardware design processes, into a single virtual co-innovation...
UK-based chip design company Arm has announced new software architecture and hardware platforms for emerging software-defined automotive systems, including for driver assistance, infotainment, electrified powertrains, and ultimately for autonomous vehicles. The new releases are designed to enable the automotive industry to build powerful new...
Siemens-owned Mendix has announced “massive enhancements” to its low-code software development platform to enable IoT ‘makers’ to assemble and monetise new digital products. It has declared prescriptive software-as-a-service applications a “thing of the past” as drag-and-drop, non-specialist, low-code software development starts to drive industrial...
KDDI-owned IoT connectivity provider Soracom, flush from an injection of new funds from Hitachi and Sony Group, has launched a new platform to allow IoT developers to connect devices using Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and satellite connectivity, as well as low-power wide-area (LPWA) cellular technologies, including...
Semiconductor company Morse Micro, developing Wi-Fi HaLow for low-power mid-range IoT connectivity, has released system-on-chip (SoC) and module samples to select developers.
