Network Status Updates
As technology advances, mobile networks too need to evolve. Outdated networks that can no longer support the needs of IoT devices and applications make way for new, faster and more efficient networks. 2G and 3G sunsetting is where the industry is controlling the change to newer 4G, 5G and 6G networks by gradually switching off…
Read moreMNO or MVNO: Which is the Right Choice for Your IoT Project?
Historically, the greatest obstacle to large-scale, internationally available IoT and M2M deployments has been cellular connectivity. Enabling thousands or millions of ‘Things’ to be connected to the internet out-of-the-box is a significant challenge. While setting up initial cellular connectivity at deployment is one concern, as IoT use-cases have become increasingly global, it’s also become more…

Read moreThe 6 Biggest IoT Device Design Mistakes
As global demand soars for IoT devices, the opportunities for designers are plentiful. Healthcare, manufacturing, and logistics are just some of the industries ramping up IoT investment, with device deployment expected to grow by 80% or more by 2025. Yet as hungry as the market is for new IoT devices, it’s also unforgiving. No matter…
Read moreBenefits of Private LTE Networks in IoT Testing Environments
In many ways, testing is the most crucial stage of the design life cycle. IoT devices need to perform seamlessly as soon as the end user opens the box, but it’s difficult — sometimes impossible — to test every use case scenario on a public LTE network. Often IoT devices are manufactured in countries with…

Read morePrivate APNs as a Key Factor in IoT Security
With billions of Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine-to-Machine (M2M) devices now online, and billions more expected within the next few years, IoT security is finally getting the attention it deserves. Comparatively poor security in most IoT deployments, versus other endpoints like laptops, servers, and phones, opens corporate networks and sensitive data up to risk…
Read moreIoT at Scale: Here’s What You Need For Enterprise IoT Deployments
The Internet of Things (IoT) is ubiquitous, but not quite to the extent predicted. Current industry forecasts project nearly 30 billion connected IoT devices globally by 2030. However, just a decade ago, experts believed we would hit this mark much earlier, expecting over 50 billion devices in use worldwide by 2020. Security concerns, regulatory compliance…
Read moreHow Amazon is Opening Doors on a Global Scale
When you’re delivering billions of packages a year and you want to make sure they arrive on time, device connectivity and availability are mission-critical. To this end, Amazon is on a mission to ensure that none of its customers is ever missing a package or parcel — or awaiting a late one. Introducing Amazon Key…
Read moreCellular vs WiFi for IoT: Choosing the Best Connectivity Option
The real value delivered by IoT applications is in the data provided by the end-point devices. Or more specifically, in the analysis of that data and how it can be used to positively influence business decisions. To unlock this value, data needs to be transferred from the end-point device to some compute resource, possibly on…
