Implementing IoT – overcoming barriers to commercial adoption
Tim Wright from the Institute of Telecoms Professionals reports from a recent seminar exploring questions around the barriers to commercial, at-scale adoption of the internet of things, and how to overcome them Read more
Antenna radiation plots - What do they mean?
Antennas are a fundamental component of any wireless RF solution. Both the most complex and the simplest wireless RF applications rely on antennas for end to end communication. The quality and performance of the antenna are critical to the correct operation of any wireless system, and it pays to specify it wisely. Selection is often left to the last minute, but design integration is key to getting the best deployment performance. Read more
LoRaWAN puts security first
Traditionally, security has been an afterthought in computer network designs, which has helped make many of them vulnerable to hacking. But the LoRaWAN low-power wide area network (LPWAN) provides an example of a network technology that was designed from the outset to take security into account. Read more
IoT gateways need standardisation: replace as required…
Who would want to be easily replaceable? But where x86 technology is concerned, this functionality has come a long way! Today, IoT gateway manufacturers are striving to raise the level of interchangeability further by standardising cloud communications. Read more
News IoT standards: the end game
“People often ask the question,” Cees Links, General Manager of RF & wireless semiconductor company, Qorvo’s Wireless Connectivity Business Unit tells us, “with all these IoT standards, which should I choose?” Zigbee, Thread, Bluetooth or Wi-Fi technology? What about LoRa? Or is it better just to wait for 5G & NB-IoT? Read more
The weakest link? How to ensure antennas aren’t the single point of failure in challenging IoT deployments…
The cost of IoT sensors continues to fall annually, allowing more & more organisations in industries that operate across large areas, such as agriculture & utilities, to roll out remote wireless IoT & M2M deployments. Read more
Where are the robots? The wait for mission-critical IoT and massive IoT
If we are to trust the tradeshow floors, we would think that the future is already here: displays of remote operating tables, robots making coffee, and displays of smart cows and agriculture appear ready for mainstream today. In reality, however, we aren't yet able to deliver these inventions because our current network infrastructure cannot support the data and latency requirements. There are intermediate steps that must be taken in the connectivity infrastructure before these fun inventions—and the trillion-dollar 5G market of our dreams—can come to fruition. Read more
Information Age’s guide to the low-power wide area network (LPWAN) landscape
In this article, we'll provide a guide to low-power wide area networks (LPWAN) and information on the three biggest players in the market, Sigfox, Ingenu and Semtech Read more
One Step for Lacuna Space, One Giant Leap for LoRaWAN
Lacuna Space has completed the first phase of testing as part of its work in conjunction with Semtech to allow direct communications from LoRa-based devices to satellite gateways using the LoRaWAN protocol. Read more
