Large-scale IoT, referred to by the industry as Massive IoT, is IoT systems with millions of sensors in small geographical areas. Large-scale IoT aims to collect data that can save resources such as time and money. But data must be reliable, and reliable data requires hardware that works year in and year out without problems. …
In September 2022, the EU published a proposal for a new cyber security regulation called the CRA, which stands for Cyber Resilience Act. The Cyber Resilience Act aims to protect the market from products and software that have substandard security features or may pose a security risk. The Cyber Resilience Act will cover end-users, both …
Is the door open or closed? How hot is the pump room? How much fuel is left in the farmer’s diesel tank out in the woods? The applications for sensors linked to IoT-devices are endless. Here is a guide on how to use external sensors and actuators with your IoT-devices. Sensors and actuators for Industrial …
Let me first address the headline; no, it is not. But in the last couple of weeks, on more than one occasion, I found myself in several discussions about the future of IoT. IoT’s future potential was questioned due to cutdowns. As you may know, Microsoft and Google are reducing their staff. Ericsson sold its …
LPWAN (Low Power, Wide Area Network) is not a technology standard but rather a group of wireless technologies that, as the name suggests, use low power but cover a large area. LPWAN is suitable for IoT, devices such as those in smart cities, smart sensor networks and fleet management do not need as much bandwidth …
As mentioned before, massive IoT focuses a lot on connecting with things, finding and monitoring things. From these devices, we collect data. In the past, we collected data and built data silos for each application or system. But with IoT, we can mix and match, creating new use cases based on these three massive IoT …
This issue was re-actualized enormously in 2022, so it will be relevant in 2023 as well. Who could have missed the crisis in Ukraine? A war that completely changed our perceptions of what to expect from other nations? IoT security has been and continues to be a significant issue. Traditional cybersecurity often focuses heavily on …
In the EU, the goal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% by 2030. Buildings significantly contribute to greenhouse gas emissions, as almost 75% of the EU’s building stock is currently energy inefficient. In an inefficient building, much energy is wasted; it goes up in smoke. The figure is also high globally, …
First published in Visions for Europe number 2 · 2024 Nowadays, everything is getting more and more connected. The digitalisation of our society during and after the pandemic has genuinely accelerated. The innovators are presenting innovations. The product developers are launching newer and more innovative products, one after the other. Most have heard about the …
Recently I attended an event by Proptivity, a company that wants to take 5G coverage indoors. The coverage should not be provided by outside base stations, but rather by indoor “spots” that will increase 5G coverage indoors in buildings. The clever idea is that is not a repeater solution per se, it is a distributed …
