Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is booming, and industrial cybersecurity is growing right alongside it. This is good news, because IoT networks are often targets for malicious intruders who want to gain access to all of the sensitive data passed from device to...
Low-power and long battery life are common constraints we run up against when designing IoT systems and applications for our clients.
As we all learned in 4th grade, more than 70 percent of our planet is covered in water, and we need water to survive. But our oceans are suffering from a number of problems.
In its 2020 IoT Spotlight Report, Vodafone Business discovered some positive statistics when it comes to how IoT is impacting businesses—and how vital IoT is to the future of most organizations.
When asked about our predictions for 2020, no one would have guessed what our personal and professional lives would look like. We have all come to rely on certain things we never considered essential before. For example, masks have become a regular part of our daily wardrobe and something we can’t leave home without.
As businesses continue to adapt to the new business model forced upon them by COVID-19, many are looking to technology to increase their chances of survival. One way companies are reducing costs is through the use of digital twins.
When we think about the User Experience (UX), many of us think about this in terms of applications and websites, but in today’s connected world, we also need to think about it in terms of IoT. However, designing for the Internet of Things presents some unique challenges for developers.
If you read our blog regularly, you know how devoted we are to IoT security. We have addressed the unique challenges that come with securing IoT devices, networks, and applications in the past. We are happy to report that machine learning (ML) is improving...
Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are a powerful light source typically used in visual light communications (VLC) systems. Traditional LEDs, however, are hard to break down and recycle.
Manufacturers have been turning to robotics over the past few years to automate repetitive tasks, increasing operational efficiency and reducing costs. While these benefits are still driving interest in robot workers, COVID-19 has introduced a new motivation—worker health.
Although spending on IoT has slowed a bit as a result of the pandemic, a return to double-digit growth rates is predicted for 2021. Many businesses are investing in IoT as one part of digital transformation, using IoT technology to create a more personalized and engaging customer experience and to create efficiencies on the production side.
There are a number of new wireless communications technologies emerging that are having massive implications for IoT application and system development. In our work with clients, we tend to focus on the developments at the smaller end of the data spectrum—technologies such as Narrowband IoT (NB IoT) and LTE Cat M1, which cannot send large volumes of data, but are extremely inexpensive.
IoT is everywhere these days, including the farm. People working in the agriculture industry are using Internet of Things technology just as much (and perhaps more) than other industries. A recent article shares interviews with several agricultural professionals to find out how they are leveraging the power of IoT.
