As much as 30 percent of the installed base of outdoor small cell networks and 71 percent of indoor enterprise systems in the next five years will be operated by new entrants to the cellular segment. This is the conclusion of a new market report by Small Cells Forum, which flags rising demand for wireless…
Paul Brebner is Technology Evangelist at Instaclustr. He solves ‘realistic problems’ and builds applications using Apache Cassandra, Spark, Zeppelin, and Kafka. Paul has worked at UNSW, several tech start-ups, CSIRO, UCL (UK), & NICTA. IoT applications work a heck of a lot better the easier they can collect and process data from a variety of…
Chip maker Nordic Semiconductor is combining low-power long- and short-range IoT connectivity technologies in hardware and software, at developer level, for solution makers to run the pair together in test applications. Nordic has two hybrid IoT offers, in the form of its nRF9160 developer kit and its Thingy:91 gateway platform. It is likely, although not…
A single connectivity technology will suffice for certain IoT applications, but the real magic is being realised when two or more complementary IoT technologies combine. Increasingly, solution providers are looking to make multi-mode connectivity a springboard for more complex and ambitious IoT solutions. This webinar will consider how the workhorse technologies of the IoT sector…
Accenture and the University of Aizu announced they will conduct a joint research project to develop what they claims will be the first standard API marketplace for smart cites in Japan. The joint project also includes studies on how to utilize a Smart City operating system (digital platform for smart cities) to better utilize…
We are currently facing a climate crisis that is becoming more severe with every continent it affects. Despite multiple warnings, energy usage continues to grow and countries are falling behind in adopting solutions to meet their 2030 climate goals. It’s no surprise that now is the time for bold collective action. In fact, scientists believe…
Swiss operator Sunrise Communications is using an “out-of-the-box” IoT back-end sales and management platform from Poland-based IT provider Comarch Telecommunications to underpin its IoT business. The Comarch bundle, also comprising IoT devices, will enable Sunrise to “store, sell, connect, monitor, and manage” its IoT estate, the companies said. The Comarch software, bundled together in its…
Note, this article is taken from a new Enterprise IoT Insights editorial report, out tomorrow, on the combination of low-power short- and long-range communications technologies in hybrid IoT systems (see cover image below). Check back here for the full report (from July 9); a webinar on the same subject, including panellists from ABI Research, the…
