We may look back on the last couple of years as a turning point for the Internet of Things. While connected devices such as smartwatches, thermostats and home security systems have been steadily building momentum among early adopters and technology enthusiasts for some time, the explosive popularity of the Amazon Echo in the last few months demonstrates that the promise of the IoT is finally becoming a mainstream reality.

Supplying the eSIM (embedded SIM) solution for Microsoft’s Surface Pro with LTE Advanced, Gemalto is working with the most connected laptop in its classwhich will begin shipping to business customers in December 2017. This partnership with Microsoft and Gemalto enabled Surface to become the first fully integrated embedded SIM PC in the Windows ecosystem.

To meet the growing demand for long-lasting low-power NarrowBand (NB) IoT modules, and aiding device manufacturers meet these demands, Gemalto and Huawei, through its semiconductor arm, HiSilicon, are working together to develop the next generation of modules that combine an extra level of security and consume very low power.

The IoT world is growing again, as Gemalto is expanding Industrial IoT connectivity with a significant breakthrough in wireless engineering – the industry’s first IoT moduleto provide global connectivity on 12 LTE bands plus, 3G and 2G cellular coverage all from a single device. This greatly simplifies logistics and distribution and lowers the cost of global IoT deployments.

There are billions of new Internet of Things (IoT) devices that are expected before 2020, but the majority of these do not require the full capabilities of 4G cellular networks. Emerging Low-Power Wide-Area wireless technologies, including LTE-M and NB-IoT, allow devices to efficiently connect to existing 4G networks. Gemalto's LTE Cat M1 I​oT module is now certified by Verizon. With very low power consumption, these new modules will expan...

If you take a minute and actually look what the year 2016 brought us it is pretty amazing. It was a year that smart homes and driverless technology really took off, so what next? Well Neil Bosworth, UK Manager, at digital security company Gemalto believes that: “If 2016 was the year that the Internet of Things broke into mainstream consciousness, 2017 will be the one where it starts to prove its worth.”
