MWC is a brilliant show, of course. Not because of the big talk and shiny displays, although they are fun, too. But because you can get lost on the main streets and back alleys of this pop-up tech metropolis for a week at the...
Some of the best ideas in IoT… Scratch that; some of the most important innovations in the whole tech game… Actually, scratch all of that; if everything in the end is going to be connected in an internet-of-things (whatever that is), then some of...
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...
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...
Next week – in case you’ve been trapped under a heavy object, away from the business pages on social media – is The Things Conference, the annual LoRaWAN shindig in Amsterdam, hosted by the TTN/TTI Things collective. The show (September 22-23) has built a...
The LoRa Alliance has moved to head off fears about a collapse of LoRaWAN as a public network technology in Europe, following the decision by Bouygues Telecom in France to shut down its Objenious LoRaWAN network from 2024, by declaring a 66 percent jump...
There is a change in the IoT industry, and it has to do with the convergence of two other big developments. The first is the ongoing adoption of the cloud; the second is the rise of the enterprise developer using low-code/no-code software. Combined, these...
Nokia confirmed it will be the sole 5G RAN supplier for a Telia and Telenor joint network in Denmark. The Finnish vendor said in a release that it has expanded a partnership with the duo to cover 5G.
Nokia said that the availability of spectrum...
After years of fierce rivalry, stretching back to the early days of IoT in France, spilling over into open hostility in recent years as the fabled IoT market has struggled for ‘massive’ scale, has the time come, finally, for Sigfox and LoRaWAN to bury...
Note, this article is continued from a previous post, entitled ‘IoT is not about LoRa vs Sigfox anymore; it is about Design Process X vs Design Process Y’. Click here to see the previous instalment.
Picking up the thread again, we hear that the cost-sensitive...
The low-power wide-area (LPWA) end of the IoT sector is characterised by the capabilities and limitations of its main connectivity technologies. But this is wrong. These technologies – the likes of LoRaWAN, Sigfox, and NB-IoT – should not be so easily reduced to a...
Deutsche Telekom is working with The Things Industries (TTI), the industrial solutions division of LoRaWAN network provider The Things Network (TTN), to combine licensed and unlicensed low-power wide-area (LPWA) technologies LTE-M and LoRaWAN into a single IoT connectivity solution.
The partnership is a major statement...
As is its job, the LoRa Alliance took to the (virtual) stage at The Things Conference this week to proclaim its destiny, slate the competition, and gee-up the troops. The message was that LoRaWAN will achieve “massive scale” in practically every ‘vertical’ market in...
The developer community working with LoRa-based IoT solutions took stock of Semtech’s new LR1110 module at a virtual meet-up last month, and declared it a “pretty unique piece of silicon”. The LR1110 is the latest in a flurry of dual-mode silicon that appears to...
An intro-video plays as the founders of The Things Network (TTN), take to the stage at their annual LoRaWAN bash in Amsterdam. A Hollywood-style voiceover crows about big-sounding tech - something about 5G and 0G, and all the other Gs – before the baritone...
Norwegian maritime group Wilhelmsen is deploying a LoRaWAN network at 2.4 GHz to bring connectivity to its operations at land and sea. It will offer connectivity to customers as well.
The firm has struck a deal with Dutch LoRaWAN collective The Things Industries (TTI), the...
This week, 1,500 business types from every-sized enterprise in the burgeoning IoT space will descend on Amsterdam in The Netherlands to chat LoRaWAN, the low-power wide-area (LPWA) networking technology that saw 60 per cent growth last year.
The occasion is The Things Conference (January 31...
Low-power wide-area (LPWA) network provider SenRa has struck a deal with location and tracking company PNI Sensor to bring LoRaWAN based smart parking to India. It is the latest in a number of major LoRaWAN deployments in Asia Pacific region, covering also smart city...
UK tech incubator Digital Catapult has meshed its Things Connected LoRaWAN network in with the UK footprint of Amsterdam-based LoRaWAN project The Things Network (TTN). The result is the UK’s largest free-to-use low-power wide-area (LPWA) network deployment and innovation community, according to its architects.
