Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) is an LPWAN technology developed to enable many devices to be connected to the internet using mobile networks. The standard is part of both 4G and 5G. Designed to allow for massive IoT, NB-IoT is a low-power, narrowband technology that can support small data packets and bidirectional transmission in an efficient, secure …
I am continuing with the fourth post in my series LoRaWAN vs 5G. As I am invited to speak about 5G at a LoRaWAN event (ThingsConference 22nd of September 2022), I found it appropriate to dig into the aspects of LoRaWAN vs the current 5G standards for LPWAN. In the last post, we compared coverage. …
The SIM slot is empty, but the device is still connected to the mobile network. Why is this? We all know what a SIM card is; we can visualize what it looks like. Now the concept of eSIM is coming across the board, but there are new integrated SIM cards that are even more optimized …

I am continuing with the second post in my series LoRaWAN vs 5G to prepare for the upcoming ThingsNetwork conference. As I am invited to speak about 5G at a LoRaWAN event (ThingsConference 22nd of September 2022), I thought it was appropriate to dig into the aspects of LoRaWAN vs the different, current 5G standards …
As I am invited to speak about 5G at a LoRaWAN event (ThingsConference 22nd of September 2022), I thought it was appropriate to dig into the aspects of LoRaWAN vs the different, current 5G standards for LPWAN. I believe that LoRaWAN and 5G are like a tug of wars. On one side, the LPWA technologies …
If you’ve experienced landline telephony, you know those phone jackets on the wall; you’ve probably experienced cordless phones with DECT technology. So what does this technology have to do with 5G? In late 2021 a group managed to qualify a 5G standard, DECT NR+ 5G, as part of 5G. It is also based on non-cellular …

In this post we are getting to the bottom with one of the most common misunderstandings when it comes to SIM-cards, eSIM and eUICC. Let´s begin with eUICC. eUICC stands for Embedded Universal Integrated Circuit Card. It is a software component that can store multiple network profiles for different operators on a SIM card. Profiles …
I had the honor of delivering a 15-minute keynote at the EU Tech Chambers IoT Alliance event Safety at work with IoT. I talked about how IoT can change work-life for people working with forwarders in the forestry industry, focusing on how IoT can improve the future working environment for not only these drivers but …
The last couple of weeks I have been involved in many discussions on IoT-hardware design. As the IoT market is maturing, and more and more hardware becomes available, it is obvious that all hardware is not built to equal standards. The battery battle Many discussions have involved batteries and battery life for IoT-devices, more on …
