NarrowBand IoT

The near-ubiquitous availability of robust, secure, wireless connectivity still involves navigating substantial complexities for service providers. In the transportation and logistics sector, service providers are faced with the need to connect not only the vehicles in their fleets but also the loads being transported. Increasingly, these include the ability to connect the load and its

Semtech Corporation has announced the integration of non-terrestrial network (NTN) support into its HL series LPWA modules, specifically the HL7810 and HL7812. This significant advancement showcases a leap forward in enabling uninterrupted global connectivity even amidst the most challenging conditions.

Matt Hatton, founding partner at Transforma Insights, interviewed Vincent Korstanje, the chief executive of Kigen, about why security is the most critical consideration at the intersection of generative AI, IoT cybersecurity and blockchain, the implications of global supply chain fragmentation, and why one Eddie Murphy movie is very relevant to the new IoT world.

Mavenir, the network software provider has announced the completion of a mobile data call in cooperation with Ligado Networks. The connection consisted of a 3GPP Rel.17 Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) Non-Terrestrial Network (NTN) data connection deployed over the Ligado SkyTerra satellite network.

Ooredoo has rolled out Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) technology to power various IoT-enabled applications that can result in energy savings and supply chain management optimisation. IoT is an umbrella term for devices connected to and communicating with the Internet and each other, merging the digital and physical worlds.

New Zealand company AirSuite has launched an indoor monitor designed to detect and record a range of environmental variables that can affect the health and productivity of people in commercial, industrial, and domestic settings. Employing a range of sensors, the ‘AirSuite Glance’ can monitor carbon dioxide (CO2), temperature, humidity, acoustics, lighting, air pressure, and volatile

Giesecke+Devrient (G+D) and Sony Semiconductor Israel (Sony) are launching a commercial iSIM (integrated SIM) solution that supports remote SIM provisioning. The iSIM plays an ‘important evolutionary step’ in SIM technology, empowering simple and cost-efficient connection, deployment and essential market for Internet of Things (IoT) devices.

Giesecke+Devrient (G+D) and G+D subsidiary Pod Group have agreed to cooperate with Sateliot, a satellite communications network operator headquartered in Barcelona. This will enable G+D to offer users of its Internet of Things (IoT) services global coverage. Whenever a terrestrial cellular connection is unavailable, roaming to a satellite network is said to be automatic.

Thuraya and eSAT Global announced that they have completed an over-the-air demonstration of low-latency, direct-to-satellite IoT texting system by transmitting low-power IoT messages over Thuraya’s satellite network (Thuraya-2 Satellite “T2”).

As the IoT unfolds it’s critical, says Tony Milbourn of u-blox, not to lose track of what really matters and to provide the technologies, modules and security to keep them robust and reliable.

u-blox has announced forthcoming availability of its SARA-N2 Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) module, the world’s first cellular radio module compliant to the 3GPP Release 13, Narrowband IoT (LTE Cat. NB1) standard.

Huawei, a global information and communications technology (ICT) solutions provider, and Vodafone Group announce the opening of an Open IoT Lab to work on the development of products and applications relating to Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) technology.

IoT was highly visible at Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2016, with IoT devices or services – from connected cows to connected toothbrushes – appearing on nearly every stand. While there was no unifying theme, we believe a number of developments point to the continued maturation of IoT.

November 5, 2015: Beecham Research is warning companies planning to get into the Internet of Things (IoT) market not to believe all the hype and over–optimistic predictions.

Last week saw one of the year 2015’s most far-reaching developments in M2M connectivity, as 3GPP’s plenary meeting in Phoenix, Arizona reached a decision on the standardization of a new “NarrowBand IoT” (NB-IOT) technology. It means that there is now a common standard for rolling out and operating cellular-based Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) networks,
