First impressions count – and the trains are late, the stairs are broken, and the food is wrong. This is not the fabled German efficiency we came here to discuss – and see projected into the digital age across 17 cavernous halls of the...
The truth about private 5G, certainly so far as Industry 4.0 goes, lies somewhere between the desperate excitement of MWC and the distracted indifference of Hannover Messe – and probably closer to the big German industrial show. This will be discussed in another piece,...
At Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this year, there was a panel discussion around whether private wireless is a real growth opportunity or is overhyped. That’s a very interesting question and I think it is worth exploring. So, let’s peel the layers of the...

A panel discussion at Mobile World Congress 2023 sought to answer one of the industry’s most burning questions: Is private wireless overhyped? The three panelists answered this question, first in simple terms...
Ericsson and Aeris Communications sought, somehow, to raise confidence in their conjoined IoT strategy at MWC, following the sale of Ericsson’s loss-making IoT Accelerator business to long-time partner Aeris at the end of last year. In Barcelona, Ericsson hosted Aeris on its stand, and...

Ahead of a big week in Barcelona, when the telecoms set hits town for its annual MWC jamboree, and when the only talk of any outward substance will be about edge-based 5G for enterprises, analyst house ABI Research has stuck out a revised forecast...
Game, set, and match at MWC, and the contest hasn’t even started. Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) has bought Italian private core network specialist Athonet for an undisclosed fee. For our money (old Enterprise IoT Insights money), this is likely to be the biggest news...

How do you judge the best-in-show? By the bright eyes and bushy tails? Probably not if it is a tech fair. So how should one rate the stands at IoT Solutions World Congress (IOTSWC) in Barcelona? Is it a size thing? Is it a...

Cisco took time out with Enterprise IoT Insights at MWC a couple of weeks back to discuss its late entry into the private 5G market, plus its channel strategy around system design and network support, and partner strategy around radio access network (RAN) components....
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,”...
As with the telecoms industry’s travails with NB-IoT, only just starting to resolve, there is a classic chicken-and-egg scenario with industrial 5G, around availability of networks and devices. In other words, why should an enterprise install a 5G network if there aren’t any enterprise-grade...
This might seem like a cop-out, but the irresistible narrative from MWC over the week, that the grand-standing on the show floor masked (and revealed) a battle between three industries for the soul of 5G, is not quite right. The idea that the traditional...
