The global rollout of cellular IoT networks is gathering pace to support new NB-IoT and LTE-M solutions. We’ve rounded up many of the important announcements.

This week’s release of the Bluetooth 5.1 specification adds accurate positioning capability, a fundamental use case of many desired IoT applications.

Industrialisation transformed farming. Could sensor technology and connectivity do the same all over again?

IoT security remains the hot topic of the day. While discussions continue about the bigger picture, Arm TrustZone is a compelling technology for architected security at arguably the most vulnerable point in the chain, the ‘thing’ itself.

Every year, the Consumer Electronics Show is a razzle-dazzle of shiny new things. We dig a little deeper to discover the true IoT innovations on show at this year’s showpiece event.

Technological solutions are ready to deal with the massive growth in urbanisation, but the focus must be in the right place for them to be effective.

Choosing the most appropriate network layout is vital to the efficient operation of any system. For wireless networks, this is highly relevant as it is tightly coupled to factors such as latency, power, speed and redundancy.

With a major infrastructure rollout and a new Nordic product on its way, Cellular IoT is set to leap ahead of competing LPWAN technologies in the coming year.

Before evaluating the various connectivity options for your IoT project, it’s important to understand the functional architecture of IoT solutions.

Cellular IoT promises great benefits for complex industrial IoT implementations, but the real success stories could come when the emerging technology is paired with mesh networking.
