Companies that consistently pursue digitization are more sustainable, more resilient and more efficient. The new trendbook “Compass for the Multicrisis” provides recommendations for action and practical tips.
From connected machines and GPS trackers to autonomous vehicles, the Internet of Things has many faces. It is often not clear exactly what the IoT is – and what benefits it offers enterprises and society.
The Internet of Things is growing rapidly. Increasingly sophisticated applications are driving forward consumers, industry and numerous sectors. In 2023 seven IoT trends are especially in focus.
What is LTE-M? The Most Important Questions and Answers
Mobile, economical and high-coverage, LTE-M provides ideal conditions for many IoT scenarios. We answer the most important questions about the mobile communications standard.
On a construction site, in the production shop and in transportation and logistics SIM cards are a key component of connectivity. That is why, subject to the application area, an IoT SIM must fulfill special M2M requirements.
Be it hardware, data volumes or wireless technologies, companies must clarify many details when designing an IoT business model. The IoT Connectivity Guide provides answers.
Globally available mobile networks are the basis of the Internet of Things. Many connected applications already run successfully on existing cellular standards. So why do we need LTE-M and 5G?
Networked implants that function globally and connected cars with worldwide reception are two examples of what is currently required of mobile network operators.
nuSIM – the integrated SIM for the Internet of Things
The integrated SIM card (embedded SIM, or eSIM for short) is a tiny chip that is soldered directly onto the circuit board of a smartphone or a communication unit in the car, making hardware components unnecessary.
Smart Factory, Smart City, Smart Everything: IoT-enabled devices are becoming normal. But which standard wireless technology guarantees secure data transmission over long distances using little energy? A comparison of NB-IoT and LoRaWAN.
Before IoT devices can send their readings to the cloud they require complex activation and authentication. An automated process now reduces the time to market of IoT solutions.
