White Papers

myPINpad, a provider of multi-factor authentication technology for unsecured touchscreen devices, has released a topical whitepaper.

Business strategist James F. Moore first put forward the idea of a business ecosystem in a 1993 Harvard Business Review article, “Predators and Prey: A New Ecology of Competition.” Drawing on insights into biological ecosystems, Moore showed how organizations collaborate and compete to survive. Business ecosystems have continued to attract attention increasingly the most innovative

What do 50+ companies deploying connected devices believe is key to delivering ambitious IoT growth expectations? DevicePilot recently surveyed fifty IoT companies taking connected products to market, across many different industry sectors (“verticals”) including Environmental monitoring, Elderly care/Wellness, Smart Home, Energy management, Industrial monitoring, Refrigeration, Retail, Public services and Smart City. Respondents were mainly CxOs

“By 2020, a failure to put in place a Licensing and Entitlement Management system will result in a 20% drop in potential revenue generated from software for device manufacturers connecting to the IoT.” – Gartner The Internet of Things (IoT) is creating a new type of software vendor. Devices are becoming intelligent because of the

A new study from Juniper Research has found that the number of consumers making contactless payments via their mobile handsets will reach 148 million this year, with Apple and Samsung together accounting for nearly 70% of new customers.

A new study from Juniper Research has estimated that the adoption of connected in-vehicle infotainment systems will produce revenues exceeding $600 million in 2020, representing a 10-fold increase on this year.

The Internet of Things (IoT) is changing manufacturing as we know it. From boosting efficiency, to reducing costs, and gaining a competitive edge, the IoT is widely seen as the future for manufactured products. When approaching the IoT market, manufacturers are likely to make a huge mistake: underestimating what it really takes to make that leap.

With analysts predicting 20 billion Internet of Things (IoT) devices coming online by 2020, there is enormous industry interest in the technology that will connect all those devices. And everyone agrees that current wireless solutions don’t fully meet this need. Enter low-power wide-area (LPWA) cellular technologies. Designed specifically for low-bandwidth, low-power IoT applications, LPWAs are

For ‘Internet of Things’ Engineers and Decision Makers. Low power, wide-area  networks (LPWAN) are  not a new phenomenon however, they are becoming more popular due to the growth of the Internet of Things (IoT). LPWAN is often used when other wireless networks aren’t a good fit—Bluetooth and BLE (and to a lesser extent, WiFi and

The ‘Internet of Things’ turns all hardware and appliance OEM vendors into software providers. Licensing and entitlement management technology serves as the key mechanism that enables these manufacturers to protect and monetise the embedded intellectual property running as software on these connected devices or the external software applications associated with them. Please note: White paper

EU member states’ failure to adopt a harmonised licensing approach for hybrid satellite/ground communication systems is hampering the spread of advanced mobile satellite services (MSS) across the European Union, according to a new white paper from the research and consulting firm Analysys Mason.

The Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA) has published the first whitepaper prepared by its Connected City Advisory Board (CCAB), outlining the status of City Wi-Fi around the world.

Enterprise applications for wearable technology are just beginning to scratch the surface in terms of applicability and use cases, according to a new white paper published by market intelligence firm Tractica. Organisations that are taking innovative approaches to utilising wearables in their operations range from large hospitals to small clinics and from Fortune 500 companies

Any discussion of security is dependent on context. This report will discuss security issues associated with migrating M2M/IoT communications to cellular technologies or creating a new M2M/IoT product using cellular communications. Historically most M2M communications were focused around proprietary protocols, private networks, leased lines and POTS. Some systems have moved to local LANs and TCP/IP . Now they are

Rarely does a technological development come along with the genuine promise of changing the world beyond recognition. The Internet of Things represents just such a technological leap.

Executive Summary The Internet of Things is made up of four significant pillars of innovation: smarter connected products, cloud service architectures, advanced data analytics, and quicker application development technologies.
