For the IoT space, 2023 was all about the device. The overarching theme was that the mobile network operators (MNOs) would finally cede control of IoT connectivity to the enterprise.  But in 2024, it’s more about the device. IoT industry veteran and Eseye SVP Strategy & Alliances Larry Socher once again joins Eseye CEO and…

Of the handful of variants of 4G LTE technology commonly used for IoT and M2M deployments, LTE-M is one of the most well-known and one of the most versatile. 3GPP Release 13 in 2016, known as LTE Advanced Pro, introduced Long Term Evolution for Machines as an M2M specific variant with the simple name LTE-M,…

In the field of healthcare and medicine, remote patient monitoring (RPM) devices are transforming the way medical professionals, doctors, and caregivers interact with their patients. A proliferation of IoT-enabled medical devices means all aspects of the healthcare journey, from diagnostics, through administration of treatment, to ongoing monitoring, can be delivered to patients faster, easier, cheaper,…

For global IoT deployments to reach their potential economic value, future-proofed connectivity needs to be guaranteed. This can be a challenge in itself, for reasons we will go into in this article. But another concern that only appears once connectivity has been established, is what to do when your IoT connectivity provider doesn’t meet your…

LTE (Long Term Evolution) is the fourth generation standard of wireless and mobile connectivity technology. Its journey started in 2008 when LTE 4G became the first wireless technology to offer a truly ‘broadband’ experience. In the years since, different branches of LTE have emerged to cater to specific consumer and business deployments including high-bandwidth IoT…

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…

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…

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…
