Deutsche Telekom is offering a sensor-based people counting solution and alert system to retailers in Germany manage in-store traffic volumes and social distancing as they reopen after lockdown. The solution uses LTE or LoRaWAN for local-area sensor connectivity, and LTE, LoRaWAN, Wi-Fi, or Ethernet for gateway connectivity to the cloud. It is available from €1,500…
North America contributed to more than one-third of the total connected car market share in 2019 Allied Market Research has published a report that established that the global connected car market generated $63.03 billion in 2019, and further estimated that the market will reach $225.16 billion by 2027. The momentum behind the market is perceived to…
Security experts have identified a series of 19 vulnerabilities, given the name Ripple20, in a small software library integrated into “hundreds of millions”, and potentially billions, of IoT devices that have been sold into consumer, enterprise and industrial markets during the past two decades. Israeli security firm JSOF said this week that IoT devices from…
Short-range wireless technologies such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), notably, are suited for widespread sensor networks for monitoring all sorts of processes. The chips are cheap and robust, their battery life is excellent, and it is easy to link them together into networks. Plus, the throughput of short-range technologies like BLE is ideal for transmitting…
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…
Canadian company Solace, which focuses on real-time event-driven data streaming, has been selected by the Airport Authority Hong Kong to develop the Internet of Things (IoT) platform for Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA). Under this initiative, the airport can utilize real-time data to enhance its operations efficiency and passenger experience. The adoption of Solace’s…
Today, users are discovering new ways to manage virtually every facet of their lives from their mobile devices, meaning the number of connected devices is set to grow over the coming years. In fact, the World Advertising Research Center (WARC) predicts that, by 2025, 72% of internet users will access the web solely via smartphones.…
Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s (HPE) has introduced an ‘edge orchestrator’ to enable telecoms carriers to bundle-up and resell edge-based compute, connectivity, and apps to verticals on a subscription basis, and to attack the Industry 4.0 space. The offer is presented by HPE as a means for carriers to make edge-based enterprise services as functionally intuitive as…

IoT platforms are not a panacea for the complex inter-workings of industrial IoT systems. They are over-the-top interfaces, which just introduce another layer of complexity to the market. The IoT sector will only hit pay-dirt when there are easier mechanisms to fashion bespoke solutions for an unknowably wide range of rather narrow concerns. This is…
