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 …
In the last couple of weeks, I have been involved in many discussions on IoT hardware design. As the IoT market matures and more hardware becomes available, it is evident that all hardware is not built equally great. The battery battle Many discussions have involved batteries and battery life for IoT devices, more on that …
Battery and energy consumption is central to IoT. It does not have to, we will talk about that later, but almost always comes up in discussions. Battery-driven sensors are what many think of first when it comes to IoT. Sensors with tens of years of battery life, all running on a primary cell, or in …
Smarter public transport, vehicles that drive remotely, unmanned cars and cars that adjust their speed to traffic lights. New networks (read 5G) and connected vehicles are creating a wealth of opportunities in the future of transport.
People sometimes ask me why we need 5G for IoT systems when it comes to IoT. After all, many people I talk to believe that IoT and low data speed are equal and that we, therefore, could use the LTE networks for IoT. I think there are a couple of misunderstandings in that kind of …
Do you remember the 90s? There are some very important milestones to remember from the 90s. Google was founded. The internet took off. The cellular networks were introduced. And perhaps most important, the term the internet of things was introduced.
In a world where more and more processes are connected, the risk of cyber-attacks against critical infrastructure increases. Sweden is a country with a lot of nature and relatively accessible public networks. With the ease of connecting almost everything today, the risk is that security takes a back seat, and we open the back door …
To me, IoT is one of the greatest recipes. It consists of basically three ingredients. We want to monitor things, connect with things or position things. #1 The sensors First, the sensors, sensors that make it possible to monitor things. We want to monitor things like the indoor air quality in this room, the temperature, …
If you have been around this industry for some years, you may have heard the term M2M. Some people say that M2M and IoT are the same things. I’m afraid I have to disagree. The big difference between M2M and IoT is more than the words. M2M is about proprietary systems talking to each other …
This is most likely the shortest blog post for years. The question arises from time to time -How many IoT devices will there be around 2030 in the networks? Many people before me have tried to answer that question. But I am not going to try the same. I cannot give you that figure. The …
