The market for IoT security services will pass $8 billion by 2026, according to ABI Research, spurred by the need to secure spiralling numbers of IoT connections, mostly on LTE-based 4G mobile broadband, and NB-IoT and LTE-M based low-power IoT networks.
The company reckons the...
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...
The way digital technology is evolving, edge compute and the internet of things (IoT) are destined to go hand-in hand. The reason to consider edge in an IoT ecosystem is that killer applications and use cases in both the consumer and industrial sectors need...
The University of Birmingham in the UK has devised a plan to be “the world’s smartest global campus” by deploying IoT sensing and AI sense-making technologies to link academic research and teaching, and influence consumer habits, as part of a broader agenda around renewable...
Non-Standalone 5G deployment at U.S. facilities will form template for expansion to global John Deere manufacturing facilities

Ultra narrowband IoT network provider Sigfox is working with Google to build a new range of IoT devices that can leverage local artificial intelligence (AI) analytics at the ‘edge’, in compute nodes on customers’ premises. Sigfox has signed a deal to load Coral, Google’s...
DENVER--It's quite clear that service provider 5G revenue will largely be derived from enterprise investment in cellular as a driver of digital transformation and organizational change. But adoption is challenging, particularly for small- and medium-sized enterprises that don't have the same resources as the...
TIM has struck a deal via its IoT solutions division Olivetti with engineering firm SECO to produce IoT solutions for Italian enterprises – worth €50m to SECO and €225m to TIM over the next three years.
Dutch IoT solution provider NetOP Technology has teamed up with French LoRaWAN gateway maker Kerlink to produce a ‘wildfire-prevention’ system that measures humidity, temperature, carbon dioxide, and volatile organic compounds to issue long-distance alarms over LoRaWAN to alert about possible wildfires.
Global warming has increased...
Wirepas has received an additional €10 million cash injection from Estonia-based early-stage venture capital firm Karma and Finnish state-owned investment firm Tesi to accelerate development of its new mesh-based non-cellular industrial ‘5G’ technology. Both Karma and Tesi are existing investors in Finland-based Wirepas.
Wirepas is...
5G is revolutionary in the sense that it provides Gigabit speeds and sophisticated features such as industrial massive IoT and ultra-reliable low latency services, enabled by slicing and edge computing, that 4G LTE can’t touch. But it’s also evolutionary in the sense that it...

US-based IoT outfit Charge Analytics has picked KDDI-owned Soracom to provide mission-critical cellular IoT connectivity, based on NB-IoT and LTE-M, to remote monitoring and control systems deployed in highly regulated industrial settings such as construction, manufacturing, mining, and chemical production.
These systems transmit real-time indoor...
Much of the hype around 5G stems from the consumer market. We talk about unprecedented speeds and nearly unlimited capacity, making us pine for the day when Netflix no longer buffers when on the train. But that’s just one side of the 5G future....
The Industrial Internet Consortium has rebranded as the Industry IoT Consortium. The IIC acronym remains. Explanation for the name change was limited, but claims some “new direction” and arguably reflects the technology sector’s acceptance of the internet of things (IoT) as the common technological...
