Smart Cities Are No Longer Optional

As more cities begin to adopt the features of what has been deemed an IoT revolution, it will be important that there are standards in place. These standards will make the most innovative tech much more synonymous solutions in cities around the globe, which will assist in distinguishing solutions that work from solutions that don’t

What Interoperability Means for the Internet of Things

The Internet of Things (IoT) is reliant upon connection, making communication one of the most rudimentary functions of internet-enabled technology. Interoperability opens up endless opportunities for IoT devices as it ensures that devices will be able to communicate with each other and store data in a central location. The IoT will be able to fulfil its promises of convenience and functionality if multiple devices can be controlled simultaneously while being able to communicate and transfer data with each other.

IPv6 and The Internet of Things

A majority of the tech industry has come to accept that the Internet of Things (IoT) will increase in size by the year 2020, enabling around 30 billion internet-connected devices. Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) was the first internet protocol to be released for public use.

Humble Beginnings of the IoT

The Internet of Things (IoT), that has been portrayed as an impending revolution, is not a new concept, but is the culmination from many years of connecting objects through computer networks. Kevin Ashton didn’t coin the phrase we use today until 1999 (while referring to RFID tags in supply chains), but the idea that he was employing came about earlier in the 90s when machine-to-machine (M2M) industrial solutions offered closed networks for device communication.

IoT: Converging IT and OT

IT (Information Technology) and OT (Operational Technology) convergence is reshaping manufacturing by integrating enterprise data systems with real-time industrial operations through IoT (Internet of Things) technologies. This transformation unlocks predictive maintenance, improved efficiency, and smarter automation while also introducing challenges around security, interoperability, and organizational alignment.

IoT Made Easy: NFC for Connection & Control

Discover how Near Field Communication (NFC) is transforming IoT connectivity by making device setup, pairing, and control faster, more secure, and user-friendly. From commissioning “headless” devices to enabling touch-based Wi-Fi/Bluetooth pairing and secure access control, NFC simplifies complex processes across smart home, commercial, and industrial applications. Learn how this versatile technology reduces friction, boosts reliability, and unlocks new possibilities for connected systems.

How Time-Sensitive Networking Enables IIoT

The world’s first time-sensitive networking (TSN) testbed is being developed in a collaborative effort to change network infrastructure so that it will enhance the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). As this develops, it is essential that Industry 4.0. Machine designers, builders, and users have reliable and secure access to smart edge devices. This will force the current, standard network technologies to transform in an effort to meet the requirements of the next generation of industrial systems.
