Two in two days for The Things Industries (TTI), and further progress towards a ‘unified LPWAN world’; Semtech Corporation, in charge of the LoRa technology for low-power wide-area (LPWA) IoT connectivity, has just announced a deal with TTI, the Dutch LoRaWAN collective, plus others,...
Sigfox-parent UnaBiz and LoRaWAN group The Things Industries (TTI) – two companies that appear to be culturally aligned, albeit differently rooted in IoT; which appear to speak the same language, albeit from different sides of the low-power wide-area (LPWA) divide – have struck a...
RAKwireless, making hardware systems for the LoRaWAN-end of the IoT market, notably for the Helium community networks movement, has launched a ‘5G-in-a-box’ hotspot solution, available to system integrators and enterprises to support private 5G setups and experiments. The package features dual 5G and LTE...
IoT Solutions World Congress (IOTSWC) in Barcelona is not just about cellular, of course. But its proximity in the calendar, as January turns to February, to the city’s big MWC monster-mash at the end of the month – and the closer alignment of their...
Canada-based cellular IoT specialist Sierra Wireless, under the stewardship of US LoRaWAN outfit Semtech since last month, has launched a new eSIM / eUICC service offering multi-carrier connectivity in the US, it has said. The new service, called Smart Connectivity Premium, uses the eSIM...
Patient monitoring device maker Telli Health has partnered with US IoT operator and system provider Senet to launch the first remote patient monitoring (RPM) hardware to run on LoRaWAN connectivity, the pair have said. The new RPM device is being offered as a standalone...
Note, this article follows directly from a previous post (January 25) – about how IoT solved the global supply-chain edge, which followed another entry (January 24) about why logistics is the hardest sector of all for IoT; all articles are taken from a new...
Swedish IoT operator Netmore Group has started to deploy a public LoRaWAN network in France, it has said. Its French debut follows a period of busy expansion in 2022, following its acquisition of Nordic IoT Networks in early 2021 and its strategic shift to...
Note, this article follows directly from a previous post (January 24) – about why logistics is the hardest industry of all for the IoT market to crack; both are taken from a new editorial report on the state of IoT in the supply chain...
The second best thing to making a full-circle pivot to zero emission is to reduce your current footprint – with miles that are not driven, flights that are not taken, and energy that is not consumed. Indeed, while we transition to a completely emission-neutral...
US firm Semtech has concluded its acquisition of Canada’s Sierra Wireless for $1.2 billion, nearly doubling its annual revenue. The deal, announced in August last year, brings together Semtech’s LoRa/LoRaWAN property, enabling non-cellular low-power wide-area (LPWA) IoT in unlicensed spectrum, with Sierra Wireless’ well-established...
Massive IoT – or massive machine-type communications (mMTC) – is all around us. We live in a vast connected ecosystem of data-gathering applications that draw on comparatively low levels of data at source but which, when aggregated by application vendor or enterprise user, is...
Japan-based plumbing manufacturer TOTO is using LoRaWAN to connect and manage restroom facilities in airports, stadiums, hotels, and office buildings in the US. It is working with Comcast-owned MachineQ to connect its portfolio of ECOPOWER flush valves in toilets and urinals, as well as...
Data is vital for monitoring the environment to improve the way increasingly scarce resources are used. The ability to monitor the systems that manage those resources anywhere on the globe is also vital, but it can be a challenge. Cellular 3G and 4G technologies...
Want to know how to scale private 5G across manufacturing plants and manufacturing applications? Well, European aviation and aerospace manufacturer Airbus knows how. Of course, if you have followed the Airbus story in these pages, or caught its feature presentations and panel discussions at...
Singapore-based UnaBiz, owner of the Sigfox technology, has completed a Series B funding extension worth $25 million, to take its total Series B investment, initially pegged at $25 million in late 2021, to over $50 million. The new funding comes from existing investors, led...
There was a good panel session, yesterday (November 29; see cover image, available on-demand), on IoT tracking in the supply chain, which brought insightful content and commentary from leading IoT outfits DeltaTrak, Telit, and Unabiz, plus from analyst house ABI Research. But even with...
Barcelona-based antenna company Ignion has launched a digital-twin prototyping tool for IoT devices with up to five radios. The latest version of its Antenna Intelligence Cloud (AIC) product, which ostensibly removes the need to start with a physical prototype, supports design simulations of IoT...
US LoRaWAN specialist Senet has been recruited by US engineering firm LimnoTech to deploy a public LoRaWAN network across the Great Lakes region of the US, providing connectivity across area wetlands, parks, coastlines, rural and urban areas, and open waters. The work is part...
Singapore-based Unabiz, owner of Sigfox, has entered the United Arab Emirates (UAE) through a deal with InfraX, a subsidiary of Digital DEWA, the digital arm of public service infrastructure company Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA). Unabiz is to make “custom designed IoT solutions”...
A helpful snapshot of the developing IoT market, from a presentation at The Things Conference in Amsterdam a couple of weeks back; Paul Pinault, vice president of platform and market strategy at France-based Braincube, took to the stage to draw interesting, possibly important, distinction...
This is a rehash of a social media exchange last week, somewhere in a far-off echo chamber on LinkedIn, following a post by Enterprise IoT Insights about unsuccessful IoT deployments – which riffed on a slide from Canada-based LoRaWAN solution provider TEKTELIC, shared during...
Munich Airport is looking to connect, expand, and automate its existing energy monitoring system, currently taking meter readings for water and electricity consumption – across the terminal buildings, baggage areas, and hangars – over local-area wired and wireless networks, to its developing low-power wide-area...
The Things People – those in charge of the The Things Network (TTN) and The Things Industries (TTI) – took the magnanimous (though correct, given its place in the back-end IoT stack) step at its annual LoRaWAN developer event in Amsterdam, The Things Conference,...
