A great number of enterprise IoT projects remain stuck in pilots, put aside for another day. Before they even start, the challenge is how to make money from, at least to cover the initial investment and take a first giant leap into the unknown....
The choice between licensed and unlicensed low-power wide-area (LPWA) connectivity technologies is about use cases, concurred a panel of ‘internet of things’ (IoT) operators at LPWA World in London this week. But if both technologies fit, as they do in most cases, the choice...
Network sharing will become a standard tactic to establish dense in-building mobile coverage, with private enterprises increasingly taking charge of network operations, said AT&T at SCWS World in London. But outdoor coverage will remain the preserve of licensed cellular operators, reluctant to share capacity...
The Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA) has published guidelines for a new ‘internet of things’ (IoT) roaming framework, based on an extended version of its own Wireless Roaming Intermediary eXchange (WRIX) specification for Wi-Fi roaming capabilities.
IoT roaming is being accomplished today on different types of...

LoRa and LoRaWAN are related but distinct. Despite their burgeoning reputation as the go-to technologies for internet-of-things (IoT) based systems, and their increasing familiarity among low-power wide-area networking (LPWAN) operatives in any number of sectors, they are also often confused. Here, Enterprise IoT Insights...
Comcast has hooked up the “epicentre of IoT” by making live its LoRaWAN-based machineQ service in the San Francisco Bay Area, in California. The launch, one of 10 new machineQ networks to go live in recent weeks, will stimulate local start-ups and developers to...
The role of the internet of things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) in public safety technologies is increasing, but two-way private (PMR) or land mobile radio system (LMRS) based communications remains the go-to technology for emergency services, said Motorola Solutions chief technology officer Paul...
Verizon has introduced a new ‘internet of things’ (IoT) programme, ThingSpace Ready, to help IoT module makers to build, certify and manage IoT devices more easily and cheaply. Quectel, Sequans and u-blox have already joined the scheme; cellular design houses Bittium and Mobilogix and...
