There is a slightly uncomfortable truth about IoT procurement: the easiest number to calculate is usually the least interesting one. The price of the sensor is printed in the quotation. Multiply that by 500, 1,000 or perhaps 10,000 devices, add connectivity and installation, and the result looks like a business case. It is concrete, comparable and easy to put into a spreadsheet. What is much harder to calculate is what happens afterwards.
What happens when someone can extract a sensor’s keys after 1,000 devices have been installed? A firmware update may close the weakness, but copied keys remain exposed. We look at remote updates, site visits and who can restore security in practice.
Internationalisation for IoT companies is no longer primarily about distance. Increasingly, Europe is emerging as the most relevant and accessible market, where shared challenges, converging regulation and growing ecosystem collaboration are reshaping how companies scale across borders.
The summer of 2026 introduces three key regulatory milestones that collectively mark a structural shift in how IoT systems have to be designed, governed and operated in Europe. These three dates signal that IoT is no longer evolving purely through technological innovation, but through a new combined framework where intelligence, security and data access are formally regulated across the entire system lifecycle.
Not long ago, security in hardware design was something handled late in the development process. Not because competence was lacking, it was simply not on the agenda. Other factors were driving decisions: functionality, cost, and time to market, and they had a higher priority. Security had to adapt to what had already been built, like …
Hybrid communication architectures are becoming essential for resilient infrastructure. Explore why locally isolated operation, private radio networks, and hybrid connectivity matter when centralized networks fail.
IoT systems rarely fail—they degrade. Learn the hidden reasons behind packet loss, poor reliability, and why connectivity alone is not enough.
In the early 1990s, long before the term IoT existed, we designed wireless SCADA system to replace costly phone modems. The system allowed remote pump control, rapid data reading, and operational adjustments without travel—essentially an IoT solution without the internet.
As 2G and 3G are shut down, voice calls and SMS change fundamentally. This article explains how VoLTE, IMS and subscription profiles impact IoT devices, routers and modems—and why systems that “always worked” suddenly fail.
Smart buildings now generate continuous data streams that can verify timelines, reveal anomalies, and support incident investigations. This article explores how IoT sensors, digital twins, and AI analytics help create new forensic layers.
