Standards boost IoT development interoperability
It has been revealed that oneM2M standards are being used by a number of independent open source foundations and projects, in addition to commercial deployments, as the industry looks to accelerate take up of IoT products and platforms.
Xively sets the bar for IoT scale & performance
Xively by LogMeIn and Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) released the results of an IoT scalability benchmark finding that the Xively Connected Product Management Platform can support over 86 billion messages per day – which, by comparison, is enough capacity make every home in the US a connected home.
‘Hyperconnectivity' and IoT promise profound changes
Leti CEO Marie Semeria delivered a sweeping, optimistic assessment of a rapidly evolving world where “hyperconnectivity” and the Internet of Things – guided by a “human-centered research approach and symbiotic development strategies” – herald profound changes in the way individuals relate to each other and to the physical world.
LTE gateway supports widest range of LTE bands
A provider of fully integrated end-to-end solutions for Internet of Things (IoT) applications, Sierra Wireless, has announced availability of the high-performance AirLink RV50X LTE-Advanced industrial gateway.
New IoT technology trialled first in Europe
The new Internet of Things (IoT) technology LTE-M (also known as LTE Cat-M1) has successfully been trialled by KPN, the first European operator. LTE-M (Machine Type Communication) is a new technology that can be rolled out on the existing 4G network. The LTE-M technology is complementary to the recently introduced LoRa network of KPN as well as to existing Machine-to-Machine (M2M) uses cases on 4G.
Partnership standardises intelligent IoT building solutions
The EnOcean Alliance has expanded and strengthened its programme in building automation and the Internet of Things with IBM supporting the EnOcean Alliance as a Promoter Member. The EnOcean Alliance is a consortium of more than 400 companies which standardise and develop intelligent building solutions integrating energy harvesting wireless technology.
What is really needed to secure the Internet of Things?
The Internet of Things (IoT) has become a ubiquitous term to describe the tens of billions of devices that have sensing or actuation capabilities, and are connected to each other via the internet. The IoT includes everything from wearable fitness bands and smart home appliances to factory control devices, medical devices and even automobiles.
Security in the era of cognitive IoT
The connectivity of things such as thermostats, medical devices, automobiles and industrial equipment presents an exciting environment for innovation and new business opportunities. As we rely on connected devices to make our lives better and easier, security must be considered from every aspect.
IoT will demand a step-change in search solutions
A recent article published in IEEE Intelligent Systems highlights the requirements the IoT will place on search engines and brings together the latest research being carried out in this field. 'On Searching the IoT: Requirements and Challenges' has been written by leading researchers working in the field of next-gen communications at the University of Surrey's Institute of Communication Systems (home of the 5G Innovation Centre) and Ohi...
Databus vs. database – knowledge for IIoT developers
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is full of confusing terms. That’s unavoidable; despite its reuse of familiar concepts in computing and systems, the IIoT is a fundamental change in the way things work. Fundamental changes require fundamentally new concepts. One of the most important is the concept of a 'databus'. Author: Stan Schneider, CEO, Real-Time Innovations (RTI)
