eSIMs – Are they the connectivity future?

In theory, eSIMs offer end users the ability to swap between mobile operators without having to physically remove and replace the SIM, enabling more flexibility, more choice, reduced costs and faster deployments. Yet, while compelling in many ways particularly within a consumer environment the reality is that B2B and IoT adoption is both far more […]

Data production advances and scalability: How public transport networks are being mapped in emerging market cities

In 2017, WhereIsMyTransport set about mapping the unmapped public transport networks in South Africa something nobody had ever done at scale. In the years since, we have built a reputation as the global provider of mapping public transport networks and their environments in more than 40 emerging-market cities in 27 countries, says Julian Hirst, chief […]

Digital transformation deserves a new paradigm of security in 2022

The old “panic, patch, part” security model is outdated and calls for a new IoT security agenda. It is not enough to take security concepts purely from an administrative IT domain and apply as is. Machines must be secure by design from chip to cloud and should be democratised through new approaches such as the […]

How to measure IoT scalability in the real world

Everyone loves a scalable product. When you purchase a new laptop, car, or movie-streaming service, scalability might be one of your criteria. For example, does your new laptop have the memory and RAM to handle your future work-related requirements? Does your automobile have enough seats to hold your growing family and all of its trappings? […]

The role Of IoT technology in COVID-19 vaccine distribution

Semtech‘s Roelof Koopmans put it well when he wrote, “The worldwide distribution of the vaccines in some cases at -70 degrees Celsius (-94 degrees Fahrenheit)—is putting a spotlight on how Internet of Things (IoT)-based sensor technologies can help to enable a challenging supply chain process. Different use cases in logistics, specifically cold-chain logistics, have unique requirements […]
