The internet of things (IoT) has been gaining sharp momentum in the post-Covid scenario, says Yash Mehta, an IoT and Big Data Science specialist. Almost every business vertical such as manufacturing, transportation, utilities, healthcare and consumer electronics has started implementing IoT in its business processes. This has put IoT product development firms in a position

A new report from Juniper Research found that Smart Toys will represent an $18 billion (€15.10 billion) hardware and software market by 2023, up from an estimated $6 billion (€5.03 billion) in 2018. This increase will primarily be driven by the growing popularity of smartphone‑connected toys and related in-app purchases,

A new study from Juniper Research has found that domestic aide robotics will drive consumer robotics hardware revenues from an estimated $6.4 billion (€5.21 billion) in 2018 to nearly $23 billion (€18.74 billion) by 2022; an increase of over 250%.

QualiTest Group, the pure play QA and independent software testing company, has launched a comprehensive testing solution dedicated to IoT. The offering was developed over the course of testing thousands of IoT projects involving both hardware and software, and across diverse software ecosystems.

Cradlepoint, the provider in cloud-delivered 4G LTE network solutions that provide a pathway to 5G, announced a new subscription-based solution pricing model, the next step in its Elastic Edge™strategy for software-driven and cloud-delivered wireless wide-area networks (WANs).

In the early days of IoT, updating remote devices often caused intermittent disruption and performance degradation. As IoT platforms have matured, they have embraced a novel way to remotely and reliably update connected devices with little to no disruption: over-the-air (OTA) firmware updates.

The adoption of edge and fog computing models is enabling enhanced efficiency, says Bob Emmerson. Data is generated at the edge and bringing processing power close to the source generates real-time information on which informed decisions and actions can be taken.

IIoT connectivity provider Thingstream has launched its own IoT Starter Kit, enabling device manufacturers to rapidly develop globally connected devices and accelerate IoT projects.

Security concerns have been dominating news about IoT as of late, and with good reason. A recent survey shows that nearly half of U.S. firms using an IoT network have been hit by a security breach.

Renesas Electronics, a supplier of advanced semiconductor solutions, and Cogent Embedded Inc., a embedded software provider to the automotive industry, announced their joint development of a 3D surround view solution to assist drivers during parking or low speed maneuvers.

Following the success of the company’s first event two years ago, Hardware Pioneers will host it’s second IoT and Connected Hardware Showcase in London on Thursday October 5th.

HARTING’s MICA industrial computer system has been certified as meeting the requirements of Microsoft’s “Microsoft Azure Certified for IoT” programme.

ITTIA, a provider of high performance database and connectivity products for embedded systems and Internet of Things (IoT) devices, announced its partnership with Wind River® and the availability of ITTIA DB SQL on VxWorks® real-time operating system (RTOS).

In today’s marketplace systems integrators and service providers really do have the greatest opportunity of all company types to deploy, use and generate revenue from IoT / M2M applications.

The growth of the edge computing market has been well-documented. BI Intelligence predicted that 5.6 billion Enterprise and Government IoT devices will be connected to edge devices by 2020 – up from approximately 15 billion today.

On May 22nd 2017, the European Union Agency for Network and Information Security (ENISA) issued a position paper raising this very issue of IoT security. Together with major actors of the semiconductor industry (Infineon, NXP, STMicroelectonics), the agency warned of a “market failure” in IoT security so far: it’s important to act now.
