The first NB-IoT Smart Meter has been developed by Huawei, which has been one of the main contributors towards standardising NB-IoT technology (4.5G technology), in partnership with JANZ CE and u-blox. EDP Distribuição is using this technology for a pilot project as part of the UPGRID project of the Horizon 2020 Programme of the European Commission. The infrastructure network using NB-IoT technology has been installed by NOS, b...

Two solutions to connect billions of Internet of Things (IoT) devices have been launched by G+D Mobile Security; 'IoT Attach' and 'IoT Advance'. The 'IoT Attach' and 'IoT Advance' Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) products have been developed in cooperation with reference Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) and IoT application providers. These dedicated SIM products not only offer the benefit of network protection to MNOs, but also protect IoT da...

  Laird is going to be launching a new multi-wireless sensor platform that enables enterprise customers to deploy secure, stable wireless sensors in long-range Enterprise Internet of Things (EIoT) applications, especially those requiring precise temperature and humidity control.

Not only serving as packaging support, advanced packaging is a key enabling technology that offers more value and cost reduction to the final products. The advanced packaging industry with its seven percent CAGR between 2016 and 2022 (in revenues) is undoubtedly a dynamic sector where innovations play a key role. NXP’s SCM-i.MX6Q FO PoP SiP with boot memory and power management is a good illustration of the evolution of advanced packaging p...

The British media widely reported how the recent WannaCry cyber attack largely targeted NHS trusts across the country. However, what was not as widely reported was that the attack also affected many factories across the world, shutting down production and causing concerns about data security. Here, Steve Hughes, managing director of power quality specialist REO UK, looks at how companies can reap the benefits of interconnected devices while stayi...

An Internet of Things (IoT) research study from Inmarsat, has found that agritech businesses are helping many food producers to meet increasingly stringent import requirements by monitoring production, food hygiene, and sustainability through the use of IoT. This will accelerate the globalisation of food production by enabling developing country food producers to export to developed economies, where these regulations originate from.

Cypress Semiconductor and Arrow Electronics have announced a development platform that enables engineers to quickly bring a broad range of connected IoT products to market. The new Quicksilver kit features Cypress’ Wireless Connectivity for Embedded Devices (WICED) platform and incorporates the robust connectivity of the Cypress CYW43907 802.11n Wi-Fi microcontroller (MCU).

When it comes to building an IoT business, there are many challenges: new business models, new support models, technical hurdles, and security to name a few. To oversimplify the core premise of IoT, it is to connect all the ‘things’ in our lives to make it better. Guest blog by Tom Gibbings.
