1. IoT declares victory
“IoT projects are often portrayed as the quickest way to get yourself fired with, allegedly, ‘close to three fourths’ of IoT projects failing. In reality, success is the norm.
“Gartner’s Eric Goodness conducted a poll that 57 per...
There was some head-scratching when French IoT operator Sigfox revealed a 2023 target of one billion connections. But there is no doubting the company’s canny ability to spot new IoT use cases, sometimes staring us in the face all along.
The firm has just announced...
Japanese utility firm Nippon Gas (NICIGAS) announced plans to upgrade 850,000 gas meters with smart capabilities in 2020 using a retrofitted gas meter reader developed by UnaBiz and Soracom, the latter said in a statement.
IoT connectivity provider Soracom highlighted that Space Hotaru, an...
Made in Germany, commercialised in Canada, sold everywhere on the planet: that's the recipe to make low-power wide-area (LPWA) networking, the backbone connectivity technology in the IoT space, finally deliver on its promise of industrial change on a massive scale.
So says BehrTech, the Canadian...
Improbable as it seems, the chase might just be on. Having told Enterprise IoT Insights in the summer it has set a bonkers 2023 target of one billion IoT connections, Sigfox has since signed a number of major six-figure deals, tweaked its business model,...
IoT network provider Sigfox will enable private ultra-narrowband networks from early 2020, starting in France, it has announced.
The company said it is on track to pass 15 million connected devices and 1,500 customers by the end of the year. It also announced a...
Toronto-based BehrTech, licensee of the new MIOTY low-power wide-area (LPWA) technology, has come out swinging, it says, both as it gathers business from incumbent LPWA rivals and as it sets itself for a full tilt at the IoT connectivity market in 2020.
The firm has...
Toronto based LPWA challenger BehrTech has released a new wireless smart sensor for environmental monitoring in industrial IoT setups under its MYTHINGS brand.
As with all its MYTHINGS family, the new sensor uses telegram-splitting ultra-narrowband (TS-UNB) technology for low-power wide-area (LPWA) connectivity in industrial IoT...
BehrTech is a Toronto-based industrial IoT connectivity provider claiming a “disruptive” streak in the burgeoning low-power wide-area (LPWA) networking market. The company has just issued a (privately commissioned, independently researched) report that says its novel telegram-splitting ultra-narrowband (TS-UNB) technology is better than LoRaWAN.
Indeed, it...
France based IoT connectivity provider Sigfox has formalised its working relationship with Japanese electronics manufacturer Alps Alpine, part of Alps Electric, as a ‘global alliance’ to drive up manufacturing volumes and drive down manufacturing costs of low-power wide-area (LPWA) trackers.
The pair said the deal...

Why is LoRaWAN better than Sigfox, NB-IoT, and LTE-M? It is not a query based on a statement of fact, to be clear; just a loose question, asked here of a partisan subject (whose bias is reflected in the enquiry), in the form of...

IoT provider Ingenu has relaunched with a ‘2.0’ message about the suitability of its low-power wide-area (LPWA) technology for sundry industrial sectors, with a platform-as-a-service offer and a number of contract wins in the Asia Pacific region.
The San Diego based company has also...
Device availability, network flexibility, and technical features give LoRaWAN the edge on NB-IoT today, reckons Proximus. But competition between the two IoT technologies will grow closer, it expects. Meanwhile, Sigfox is missing in action, having apparently retreated from the kinds of metering and smart-city...
LoRaWAN supports a broad set of IoT applications, applicable to a wide variety of vertical markets. Below is a comprehensive list of 19 use cases, as provided by LoRaWAN provider Senet, which offers LoRaWAN infrastructure in 80 countries.

For all the experience of LTE and excitement of 5G, the IoT market has been propped by low-power wide-area (LPWA) technologies. The concept of smart-anything as the prerequisite for industrial change – in buildings, cities, manufacturing, logistics, agriculture – has gained credence, in large...
French IoT company Sigfox claims 6.7 million active devices in the field (“not counting proofs of concept, just commercial rollouts in diverse industries”), in 63 countries on five continents. It has set an ambitious (bonkers, surely?) target of one billion connections by 2023, under...
IoT provider Sigfox has teamed up electromechanical device manufacturer ALPS Electric Europe to deploy tracking devices in 250,000 roll cages for logistics company Deutsche Post DHL. The objective is to optimise processes in DHL’s German parcel network through use of location sensors and analytics.
