While most consumers have long since stopped using these older networks, the companies relying on legacy M2M wireless connectivity should consider cellular IoT solutions.

Traditional water coolers using large plastic water containers are found everywhere, from offices to dentists to hairdressing salons. But they’re notoriously prone to relying on fixed vehicle delivery schedules that don’t match actual customer demand leading to routine over– and under-stocking.

Existing cellular infrastructure now enables remote monitoring of wide-scale electricity transmission and distribution networks. The added value is identifying and pinpointing faults as soon as they occur or even before they occur.

Will manufacturers and distributors manage to ship COVID-19 vaccines safely to all corners of the world? The challenge is not only the magnitude and urgency of the task. The temperature requirements of the COVID-19 vaccines is a massive burden for the production and distribution chain.

In the drive towards a carbon-neutral world, households and businesses could, and should, be looking at hydrogen as a source of clean energy. And now, thanks to the rise of advanced smart metering based on cellular IoT wireless connectivity, this ambition is no longer just a pipedream.

Exciting innovations in environmental conservation-related technology comes to rescue for some of the deforesting, equivalent of 27 soccer pitches every minute, going on in the world.

The global pandemic has seen a massive increase in online shopping, accelerating a trend that has seen the world move towards home delivery. That's made it even more critical that both consumers and commercial customers can track deliveries of goods from warehouses to their homes or businesses.

By simplifying design and certification, low power cellular IoT applications can move from concept to deployment in just a few weeks.

Sophisticated technology is now on hand to track goods in transit, not only instruct where a parcel is on its journey but also to log and report what conditions and events it has been subjected to.

According to analyst Navigant Research, we will see smart meters installed in six-out-of-ten homes worldwide by 2028. The driving forces behind that growth may be somewhat surprising.
