The internet of things (IoT) is part of our everyday lives home assistants, parking sensors, smartwatches and smart plugs are all connected with the technology. However, these instances represent only a small segment of what the IoT can do on a global scale. From smart cities to driverless cars, connected devices form an integral part […]

Over the past decade, IoT has evolved from being just a buzzword into a must-have technology. It’s revolutionised entire industries and as such is now at the heart of countless digital transformation initiatives, as IDC predicts IoT spending in Europe will exceed $200 billion (€176.52 billion) this year. However, some enterprises are still questioning how IoT can […]
Being able to monitor and control systems is not just important from the perspective of the Internet of Things (IoT) but it is also a way to secure energy and water networks. So says Alistair Fulton, vice president and general manager of Semtech’s Wireless and Sensing Products Group. Cyberattacks on infrastructure, power and water supplies […]
The metaverse as described to us by science fiction is a world of infinite possibilities. The easiest way to conceptualise it is by looking at Hollywood blockbusters such as Avatar and Ready, Player One. In the movies, the metaverse is a three-dimensional digital universe where players can escape physical reality, engage with each other as an […]
It’s predicted that by 2030, 95% of vehicles will be connected to the internet. Most directly, this means an increase in capabilities for vehicles, including a multitude of sensors such as radar, ultrasonic sensors (an instrument that measures the distance to an object using ultrasonic sound waves) and beyond. Some of the most exciting possibilities […]
Across the world, rapid urbanisation is becoming a serious issue, and living standards can diminish if city facilities and infrastructure cannot keep pace with the speed of the development. Smart cities, delivering better use of data, improved urban planning, as well as digital connectivity and services to its citizens, are now seen as a key […]
As competition grows and the future of connectivity evolves, telecoms providers are looking for a way to differentiate their 5G services. While there are many ways this could be achieved, as it stands, location technology is an area with untapped potential. Precise positioning technology that utilises the inherent capabilities of 5G, such as high bandwidth, […]
Beyond the economic benefits for manufacturers, retailers, etc., Internet of Things (IoT) devices are providing socio-economic advantages that benefit the world as a whole, says Alex Bufalino, vice president of marketing at Quectel. Economic benefits of IoT devices include enabling manufacturers to know when a machine’s production starting to deteriorate so that it can be […]

What’s more, 28% think most brands they buy from aren’t doing enough to fight the climate emergency, and 54% of decision-makers, who undertake Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Environmental, Social […]
IoT development is complex and bound to uncertain challenges throughout the development lifecycle. Further breaking down the development into different components, issues in hardware design are the most critical because they can’t be rolled back. And that’s why overcoming design challenges in an IoT landscape should be talked about more often. In the following article, […]
