It’s hard to believe that at the start of last year some people were still openly questioning whether IoT was real, or if it would ever arrive in any significant scale. No one is saying that now. And the primary reason is Covid-19.
As this...
After initially taking a massive hit on IoT spending across the globe, Covid-19 is actually offering more opportunities for the industry as it bounces back. The need for remote technology is increasingly apparent as the pandemic continues to rage, with opportunities ranging from the...
The Covid-19 pandemic has deeply disrupted existing ‘just-in-time’ models of supply chain management and manufacturing. Around the world, many production lines ground to a halt in 2020, and a light was shone upon new and existing risks in our supply chains, accelerating fresh approaches...
2020 was a disruptive and also exceptional year for connectivity, as the world grappled with remote working, social distancing and lockdown mandates. While the pandemic brought many challenges, it emphasized the need for certain technologies, including cellular IoT. Fast, reliable and secure connectivity was...
The most important watchword in 2021 will be diversification. This will be key to growth for the mobile industry in the 5G era, on multiple levels. In the past, cellular networks and services have been supplied, deployed and monetized by a relatively small number...
The race to make 5G a viable platform for Industry 4.0 has shifted up a gear with the availability of shared CBRS spectrum for private wireless networks, and private 5G will continue to gain momentum in 2021 as enterprises focus on streamlining and automating...
Technologies have always tended to converge. Smartphones are an example of this: a phone merged with a media player and a camera to create something unique, which performs multiple tasks and addresses multiple needs at once, increasing our reliance on it.
Something similar is happening...
Industry 4.0 is here, and private wireless is enabling industry verticals to capitalize on the promise of this ‘fourth industrial revolution’. 2021 will see a major transformation in automation of factories, ports, and other industrial IoT venues. Enterprises are ready to automate their processes,...
2020 has been a year of reckoning with a devastating human toll. Technology was a silver lining. It has helped us – as people, businesses and societies – to cope with an unprecedented situation.

OpenRAN has been the main talking point in 2020, but currently only one operator, Rakuten,...
As IoT deployments continue to scale and solution requirements become more predictable, the market will recognize the clear distinction between carrier-grade low-power wide-area (LPWA) networks and those that fail to meet carrier-grade specifications. This distinction will draw clear lines between commercial and consumer grade...
“Those who know history are doomed to watch others repeat it.” This bitter observation is something we see frequently when it comes to upholding the security, privacy, and safety regulations governing Internet of Things (IoT) devices. Sometimes it seems like we are doomed to...
In 2021, increasing availability of 5G will provide the launching pad for manufacturing to truly evolve to Industry 4.0, the new industrial revolution that will push industries forward.
