So what happens behind the ‘green curtain’, exactly? What is the trick that non-cellular IoT leader Semtech is looking to pull off with its purchase of cellular IoT maker Sierra Wireless? Or rather, how...
As the modern-day enterprise continues growing in complexity, so too does the data used within it – both in nature and usage. This is especially true of businesses employing IoT networks. Connected devices are becoming increasingly more sophisticated in terms of their functionality and...
There is a temptation to view this deal as symbolic, somehow, suggests Enterprise IoT Insights; that with the purchase of cellular IoT champ Sierra Wireless, Semtech is stepping beyond the enduringly fragmented, slightly disjointed, vaguely dysfunctional unlicensed low-power end of the wide-area (LPWA) IoT...
