Master the complexities of global connectivity. From technical deep-dives to market trends, explore the resources you need to design, deploy, and scale your IoT vision with confidence.
The idea of the “Smart City,” is something we’ve been dreaming of since the days of The Jetsons and Back to The Future II – but what exactly makes a city “smart”?
A Smart City – or at least, as a concept – is a city that incorporates modern technology down to the public utility level. Everything from public transportation, traffic signs, public services, buildings, roadways would use connected devices to provide a better, heightened way of living. Cars will drive themselves, sensors around the city will determine the most efficient water usage, and energy will be conserved.
“Smart City” is a term that gets thrown around a lot these days, along with Internet of Things, artificial intelligence, AR, and other buzzwords – but what does it mean?
While the exact picture of what a Smart City is varies from person to person, there are a couple of things most of us can agree on.
Optimisation is becoming an increasingly pressing objective for all businesses, including industrial IoT device manufacturers. As the consumer market is becoming more competitive, businesses are being pressured from all sides to offer a great user experience at an affordable price.
Under these challenging conditions, it is those companies that can innovate and evolve in the most data-driven way that will stay ahead of their competitors.
However, knowing which areas require innovation and being certain that your evolution is heading in the right direction, requires business decisions to be based on actionable data.
IoT services have the potential to add enormous value and limitless reach to industrial businesses.
However, without a global network supporting you, it can be extremely challenging (if not impossible) for your business to fully exploit the advantages that IoT services offer.
If your business is enjoying growth from new markets or has ambitious export plans, you need to think about how your equipment and devices can easily and reliably connect to any mobile network – irrespective of the country and location in which they are deployed.
In this article, we’ll take a look at some of the key things to consider to ensure you have the global coverage needed for your IoT service needs.
In the world of IoT, you need several ingredients to get your M2M project up and running. The two main components of any IoT project, though, are your IoT devices and your connectivity. Whatever you use to keep your devices connected with one another, or the cloud – be it Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, cellular data, etc. – is what puts the “I” in “IoT”.
Remote patient monitoring (RPM) has the potential to transform patient care completely. If implemented widely, it will revolutionise the patient experience and enable healthcare services to manage their resources much more effectively than they are able to now by alleviating the pressure of healthcare systems around the world.
The adoption of RPM will not be without its challenges, though. This article will take a look at some of the biggest barriers to entry for RPM technology that are yet to be overcome.
Remote patient monitoring (RPM) is considered one of the most sought-after solutions for improving healthcare delivery. However, when it comes to the practical implementation of RPM, there are many questions to be answered, including: Who to trust with actually delivering the IoT part of the solution? Here are several points to consider when choosing your new IoT partner.
In the UK, the NHS is currently grappling with a series of seemingly insurmountable challenges. The notion of the NHS being in crisis is not new; for years, the organisation has faced increasing admissions, tougher targets, and insufficient staffing. Could IoT be the solution?
Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) is becoming increasingly popular among patients and the healthcare profession. It is a trend that allows for close monitoring of a patient’s condition without them having to be in a hospital 24 hours a day.
Thanks to advances in technology, those in need of medical care no longer need to be kept under observation in a hospital in order for doctors to stay up to date on their condition or recovery.
Instead, patients can be monitored remotely via a connected device that constantly checks their vitals and transmits up-to-the-second health data back to the hospital or care centre.
IoT connectivity is one of the essential parts of a successful IoT platform. More and more connectivity options are becoming available, and choosing the right option is an often overwhelming process.
In this article, we’ll explain the differences between the available options and which one is best suited to your business’s needs.
You would be forgiven for thinking that eUICC and eSIM are the same thing, given that they are being used interchangeably by a lot of media sites and blogs. However, that they are two different technologies.
In this article, we will clearly define what eSIM and eUICC truly are and discuss some of the distinct advantages they provide.
The eSIM has been coined the next generation of the SIM card. Its uses are vast and varied, and optimism is high that it will be a driving force in enabling the expansion of IoT.
The Internet of Things (IoT) technologies are revolutionising businesses and our personal lives in equally impressive ways the world over. Because it has such a broad scope, however, IoT faces a wide array of challenges. In this article, we’ll discuss Narrowband technology – one of the most promising solutions to one of IoT’s biggest dilemmas.
eUICC is being hailed as the next evolutionary step for mobile connectivity. It has been generating quite a bit of excitement recently because of the opportunities it gives businesses. In this post, we’ll look at a few of the biggest.
Connected fleet dash cameras are crucial for modern fleet management. They offer valuable insights for safety managers and fleet operators, helping reduce insurance claims costs and monitor driver behaviour. Let’s explore what connected fleet dash cams are and how they benefit business and fleet operations.
The Internet of Things is what everyone has been talking about. IoT is expected to reach more than 20.4 billion connected units by 2020 (Gartner, 2017). This accounts for more than 60% of all applications in the world across almost every industry.
Keeping our children safe has become much easier thanks to IoT-enabled tracking. Kid Tracking acts as a guardian that looks over a child’s shoulder, alerting their parents when they’ve gone missing.
