Between them, US telecoms operator Sprint and Swedish telecoms vendor Ericsson claim considerable experience in the IoT space. The variety of IoT use cases is vast, and ever-growing, they say. Just look at their websites to see their enterprise IoT stories stacking up. But...

1 | Anglo American, Capcoal coal mine, Queensland, Australia British mining company Anglo American has just started work in Australia on what it envisions as “one of the most technologically advanced underground mines in the world”. It is pumping $226 million into the expansion of...

Toronto-based BehrTech, licensee of the new MIOTY low-power wide-area (LPWA) technology, has come out swinging, it says, both as it gathers business from incumbent LPWA rivals and as it sets itself for a full tilt at the IoT connectivity market in 2020. The firm has...

Schneider Electric and ThoughtWire combine digital twins for hospitals French firm Schneider Electric is partnering with Canadian IoT platform provider ThoughtWire on data integration and digital twins for the healthcare sector. Schneider Electric will leverage ThoughtWire’s digital twin solution to offer facilities managers in the...

Toronto based LPWA challenger BehrTech has released a new wireless smart sensor for environmental monitoring in industrial IoT setups under its MYTHINGS brand. As with all its MYTHINGS family, the new sensor uses telegram-splitting ultra-narrowband (TS-UNB) technology for low-power wide-area (LPWA) connectivity in industrial IoT...

BehrTech is a Toronto-based industrial IoT connectivity provider claiming a “disruptive” streak in the burgeoning low-power wide-area (LPWA) networking market. The company has just issued a (privately commissioned, independently researched) report that says its novel telegram-splitting ultra-narrowband (TS-UNB) technology is better than LoRaWAN. Indeed, it...

Buildings and transportation use cases are well served by combining unlicensed Wi-Fi and LoRaWAN, according to a new white paper from the two organisations responsible for developing and promoting the technologies. The Wireless Broadband Alliance and the LoRa Alliance have said use cases in the...

IoT connectivity provider Senet has struck a deal with systems integrator SimplyCity to enable LoRaWAN for city councils in Australia, geared towards applications including energy metering, control systems, street lighting, and traffic monitoring. Perth-based SimplyCity is targeting related smart sectors including agriculture and heavy industry,...

Semtech said that IoT gateway company Definium Technologies has deployed a new enterprise-grade, statewide network in Tasmania, Australia, based on Semtech’s LoRa devices and the LoRaWAN protocol. Semtech said that the network facilitates Tasmania’s transition to become a laboratory for testing new technologies and allowing start-ups, businesses,...

Why is LoRaWAN better than Sigfox, NB-IoT, and LTE-M? It is not a query based on a statement of fact, to be clear; just a loose question, asked here of a partisan subject (whose bias is reflected in the enquiry), in the form of...

Note this is a serialised version of an editorial report, called 'LPWA connectivity in IoT – who is winning what?’. The full report, including additional content, is available for download here. Is there a more tribal field in the internet-of-things (IoT) space than low-power wide-area...

The mining industry is expected to produce $686 billion in revenue by the end of 2019, a steady eight per cent increase on 2018, according to PwC. The global conveyer belt industry is expected to be valued at $6.4 billion by 2022, says Research...

Mining has evolved from a hard, manual process, involving hand tools and rudimentary explosives, to one that takes advantage of sophisticated technologies that bring connectivity, automation, and intelligence into play. Today, mines run conveyor belts like arteries, moving equipment and materials between the mine shaft...

Cellular IoT technologies are expected to take the lion's share of the low-power wide-area (LPWA) market, but it has been a bumpy start – outside of China, at least. Rival non-cellular technologies LoRaWAN and Sigfox have stolen a march in other territories. Here, we...

IoT provider Ingenu has relaunched with a ‘2.0’ message about the suitability of its low-power wide-area (LPWA) technology for sundry industrial sectors, with a platform-as-a-service offer and a number of contract wins in the Asia Pacific region. The San Diego based company has also...

For all the experience of LTE and excitement of 5G, the IoT market has been propped by low-power wide-area (LPWA) technologies. The concept of smart-anything as the prerequisite for industrial change – in buildings, cities, manufacturing, logistics, agriculture – has gained credence, in large...
