Sigfox has officially joined the LoRa Alliance – as a contributing member, no less. The French-born ultra-narrowband IoT network tech – once (long ago) the darling of the European IoT startup scene, until its money-shredding decline and desperate fire-sale at the start of 2022...

The MIOTY Alliance, the industrial IoT group, formed in early 2020 by the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits (IIS) to shepherd its burgeoning MIOTY technology into the crowded low-power wide-area (LPWA) IoT space, has struck a deal with FábricaDigital in Mexico, described as a...

Unabiz has announced yet another deal in its unremitting pursuit of a low-power wide-area network (LPWAN) mashup, as it seeks to add the telegram-splitting ultra-narrowband (TS-UNB) standard, commercialised in the the Johnny-come-lately MIOTY technology, to its developing roster of hybrid Sigfox and LoRaWAN solutions...

Singapore-based UnaBiz, owner of the Sigfox technology, has completed a Series B funding extension worth $25 million, to take its total Series B investment, initially pegged at $25 million in late 2021, to over $50 million. The new funding comes from existing investors, led...

Heliot Europe, the biggest Sigfox operator in Europe, has joined the MIOTY Alliance, the group promoting MIOTY as an alternative to low-power IoT technologies like Sigfox, as well as LoRaWAN and NB-IoT. The move, which might once have been considered by the Sigfox crowd...

As US IoT chipmaker Silicon Labs opens the (virtual) doors to its third Works With event (September 12-14), and readies a rush of new product releases (coverage incoming), Enterprise IoT Insights caught up with Ross Sabolcik, the firm’s general manager for industrial and commercial,...

Philippe Chiu has been sleeping for three hours a night, he says, for six months. He has taken to power-napping, like he is “at college again”, he says. “Twenty minutes gets you three hours. And it works – because it is good sleep. So,...

Toronto-based BehrTech has combined with Texas Instruments to release the first dual-stack low-power IoT chip to run both wide-area MIOTY and short-range Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) connectivity. The unit makes concurrent use of license free 2.4GHz spectrum for BLE and sub-GHz spectrum for MIOTY. The...

The Fraunhofer Society, the largest application-oriented research organisation in Europe, has given its annual prize for outstanding scientific achievement to the novel low-power wide-area (LPWA) technology MIOTY, being lined up as a rival to LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, and Sigfox in the market for battery-powered IoT...

Semiconductor firm STMicroelectronics (STMicro) has joined the burgeoning MIOTY Alliance, to promote the novel telegram-splitting ultra-narrowband (TS-UNB) technology, commercialized as MIOTY, as an alternative to low-power wide-area (LPWA) protocols like LoRaWAN, Sigfox, and NB-IoT in the industrial IoT and smart cities markets. MIOTY (a portmanteau...

Toronto-based low-power IoT challenger BehrTech has launched a low-cost gateway for ultra narrowband IoT networks under its MYTHINGS brand. The new product, from Germany-based IoT manufacturer WEPTECH, is the first to gain its new MYTHINGS certification, the company said. It said the new unit...

Note, this article is taken from a new Enterprise IoT Insights editorial report, out tomorrow, on the combination of low-power short- and long-range communications technologies in hybrid IoT systems (see cover image below). Go here for the full report, which is free to download. The...

The Canadian government has awarded $3 million (CAD) to IoT connectivity provider BehrTech, an early exponent of telegram-splitting ultra-narrowband (TS-UNB) technology, to build an industrial IoT lab at its headquarters in Toronto. Its remit is to foster collaboration and drive innovation in the Industry...

A band of research organizations and industrial companies have formed the MIOTY Alliance to promote telegram-splitting ultra-narrowband (TS-UNB), commercialized as MIOTY, as an alternative  low-power wide-area (LPWA) technology to the likes of LoRaWAN and NB-IoT in the industrial IoT and smart cities markets. MIOTY (a...

BehrTech, licensee of the new MIOTY low-power wide-area (LPWA) technology, has announced a deal to integrate business and operations data for enterprises seeking to deploy sensor and analytics solutions. BehrTech has signed with fellow Canadian firm Orange Oranges, a Vancouver-based startup, specializing in IT/OT data...
