wearable technology

iSIM and eSIM are both technologies related to the SIM cards used in mobile devices, but they serve different purposes and have different characteristics. Here’s a breakdown of the differences between the two.

It is not news that the Internet of Things is here and is revolutionising every sector of modern life as we know it, from healthcare, smart homes and finance through to the way cities and transport infrastructures and much more. As its ubiquity increases, inevitably lesser-known use-cases are emerging. All hail the arrival of ‘Smart

Over the past few decades medical, economic and social developments have resulted in a substantial increase in life expectancy in many countries, while at the same time birth rates have declined. These changing demographics present real challenges for society, challenges that require innovative solutions, particularly around the care of our ageing populations. Ilogs, the Austrian-based

The history of payments is best described as a search for simplicity, security and convenience. Coins, banknotes, cheques, payment cards have all been introduced with the

While wearable technology has been utilised in vertical sectors such as the military and healthcare industries for many years, ongoing advances have triggered a major resurgence of the concept,

At the Wearable Technology Show in London, UK, MicroEJ® reported that Bong, a Chinese OEM, chose MicroEJ solutions when developing the software for its latest X2 smartwatch.

IoT Now salutes the industry pundits who are avoiding safe predictions for 2016. Machina Research is one that states, “there is little point in doing these kinds of predictions if you’re not going to be outspoken and take a few risks.”

Wearable technology has been around for a long time. When pedometers, which date back to Leonardo da Vinci, were combined with smartphone applications, the wearable movement saw its first glimpse of success in the fitness and wellness sectors.

Event date: January 13-15, 2016 Tokyo Big Sight, Japan Within the wearable device industry, new product development and technological development are making advance every day. By 2018, the market size is estimated to reach USD 12 billion, increasing 6.5 times compared to today.

There will be over 3 billion sensors in wearable technology devices by 2025, with more than 30% being emerging sensors types, says James Hayward of IDTechEx. This is one of the main conclusions from the company’s latest market research report, Wearable Sensors, 2015 – 2015.

Mobile World Congress, Barcelona, Spain. March 2, 2015 — Delegates at #MWC15 are being saturated with messages about wearable tech, not least smart watches. This year however, says Jeremy Cowan, there’s a genuine effort to address the challenges they face, such as poor design, limited functionality, battery life, and high cost.

Global technology giants including Google, LG, Intel, Samsung and IBM are among the speakers already confirmed for The Wearable Technology Show, which returns to London for its second outing in 2015.

In 2025 over US$25 billion will be spent on formulations and intermediate materials for wearable technology, as forecast by analysts IDTechEx in the brand new report Wearable Technology Materials 2015-2025. Companies at this early stage of the value chain will enjoy a multiplier over the coming decade.

The M2M industry, as with any market that is exiting its nascent stage, is rife with predictions on device growth and revenue, so much so that, candidly, it tends to lose meaning and intended effect when taken as a whole. With that in mind, we are going to use this traditional early-year space to take
