Steve Rogerson looks at the LPWAN technologies competing to bring IoT to the world.

The billions of connected devices making up the IoT will serve a huge range of application needs. From single-sensor devices regulating and monitoring factory production flows to intelligence stitched into a city’s arteries to tune streetlights to the presence of people, vehicle traffic and weather conditions. Despite the incredible range of use cases there are two non-negotiable elements that must be architected into the system’s hea...

The general availability of Envision 4.0, the newest feature release of solidThinking's data analytics platform, has been announced. Several new functions have been added to offer complete set of capabilities required for Internet of Things (IoT) and industrial analytics.

TrackNet is to unveil Tabs at Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona, Spain, 27th February-March 1st. Tabs combines a WiFi/LoRa hub with Internet parental control and a broad range of sensor devices using long-range wireless technology with an easy-to-use mobile app to monitor child safety, home security and home health.

“Connectivity for control and communications is becoming more and more important as industrial companies move towards more integrated systems, the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and Industry 4.0 (I4.0)," said Michael Volz, Managing Director of HMS’s German operations, in a video released by the CC-Link Partner Association (CLPA).

The Internet of Things (IoT) significantly impacts the global economy and is expected to grow exponentially over the coming years, transforming society as a whole. In order to develop a smart and secure IoT platform, certain critical issues must be addressed in detail to ensure security, interoperability and scalability of the platform.

Intersil announced the industry’s smallest isolated RS-485 differential bus transceiver designed to provide 4Mbps bidirectional data transmission for IIoT networks. The high-speed ISL32704E delivers industry-leading electromagnetic interference (EMI) and common-mode transient immunity (CMTI) in a small 4mm x 5mm QSOP package that is 70% smaller than competitive devices. It also provides 600VRMS of working voltage, which is approximately 50%...

Forecast of $20.59bn investment in manufacturing IoT by 2021 as British growth in production relies on manufacturing. UK manufacturing contributed to a 1.1% increase in total production between November and December 2016, according to Office for National Statistics figures published.

Sierra Monitor announced that Lencore will use the FieldPoP device cloud as a foundation for its cloud strategy. Modern workspaces are moving towards open and flexible environments, but the need for collaboration must be balanced with the employees’ need to focus on individual tasks. Additionally, shared and open workspaces must not compromise safety.
