IoT hasn’t become too big to fail, it’s too useful for that.The deal struck by Telit with Thales to create Telit Cinterion as a new modules-to- connectivity provider, and the funds heading to Thales as a consequence, plus the US$1.2bn Semtech is spending to acquire Sierra Wireless, demonstrate that IoT is no longer a speculative

Useful IoT starts paying back its IOUs IoT has racked up a significant burden of debt as infrastructure has been put in place to enable use cases. Now though, the Internet of Useful (IoU) has arrived to generate value to reward investors and repay the IOU notes it has relied on to get this far,

Organisers GSMA may be putting forward MWC22 Barcelona’s theme as Connectivity Unleashed but attendees will still be muzzled by masks as the industry’s bellwether event goes ahead. No one’s expecting a return to past glories with six-figure visitor numbers but there’s a pent-up need for people to meet face-to-face, even if a free run, off-the-leash,

How an Intelligent IoT Network will supercharge IoT business cases and address organisations need for speed IoT connectivity hasn’t always been clever. In fact, the constraints of force-fitting national wireless networks designed to serve consumer voice to a rapidly evolving, innovative landscape of connected machines, has been needlessly complex, often incoherent, and seldom fit for

IoT has spent the pandemic becoming steadily more business-like and the look-at-me antics of earlier years are being replaced by a stronger focus on profitability. It’s about time. Demonstrating something new and potentially transformative is a good game to play at trade shows but selling a service profitably and at volume gives a better outcome

Simplification is an essential target as IoT organisations ramp up volumes and look to accelerate time-to-market but traditional projects are enabled via a complicated web of different technologies from different vendors. We’re starting to see the ecosystem respond and bring pre-packaged sets of functionality to market that will reduce the number of vendors companies need

MWC2021 makes the best of a bad situation. For at least the last 15 years I have sat down to write this comment in early February, looking ahead to second guess the key themes of that year’s upcoming MWC and to decry the standard of on-site catering at Fira Gran Via. It’s now June and

It’s time to demystify the complexities of IoT connectivity – and it starts with jargon. Not all IoT can be easy but with devices and apps simplifying, it has become noticeable that the connectivity side remains a complicated jungle of telecoms industry technology. As IoT continues to enter the mainstream it’s time to face up

As global enterprises begin their transformations from selling products to providing services, enabled by IoT, Michael Cihra, the vice president of Internet of Things and Insights at TELUS, tells George Malim, the managing editor of IoT Now, how vertical industries demand specialised services from organisations that truly understand their business plus the technologies that enable

Global connectivity is forever changed. In 2020, in spite of the pandemic, IoT connections in the form of connected cars, smart homes and connected industrial equipment to name a few, outstripped non-IoT connections, such as smartphones and laptops, for the first time. The IoT Now CEO Guide to Connectivity explores what this means for global

IoT has stopped being something that will happen and has blossomed into something that is happening. The change from being an industry focused on trials and pilots and niche deployments into one in which enterprises are building their futures is underway and we’re seeing that in increased device volumes and connection numbers. It’s about time,
