Consumers are afraid of data-filled IoT
Dimitrios Spiliopoulos shares his thoughts on IoT and how it is centred around data, which scares many consumers... "In the past few months I have attended many events, conferences and panels regarding Internet of Things (IoT) subjects, but I have also been discussing the topic with people who are not involved in IoT as professionals.
Companies team up to shorten IoT node design cycle
Global semiconductor company, STMicroelectronics, has announced its cooperation with Alibaba Cloud, the cloud computing arm and business unit of Alibaba Group, to provide a complete cloud-to-node IoT solution to the market. The cooperation will allow any designer to easily create IoT nodes and gateways using ST's key semiconductor building blocks for the IoT, run Alibaba's IoT operating system AliOS on the node, and seamlessly connect with the Al...
IoT to fuel a green farming revolution
The world’s steadily growing population is set to place a great deal of pressure on land and food resources. As a consequence the Internet of Things (IoT) will play an increasingly important role in helping the agriculture sector become more efficient, productive and sustainable.
The second coming of Sigfox
IoT as most people know it, the Internet of Things is nothing without an internet connection, but the logistics of creating and managing the infrastructure for all those connections is complex. Guest piece written by Maxine Hewitt, Business Development Director at Alpha Micro Components.

Advancing IIoT with secure device lifecycle management
Value for customers can only be generated by Industrial IoT (IIoT) if connected devices are actively monitored and managed. To ensure these devices are secure, operational, and performing at the highest possible level, device management should be designed in as part of an IoT system architecture from the start, as it is a key IoT enabler and critically important component in IoT deployments today. According to IDC, 85% of existing embed...
