A developer discovered a serious cloud security vulnerability while testing remote control access for DJI’s “Romo” robot vacuum. Due to a faulty MQTT configuration, thousands of devices worldwide were accessible – including apartment floor plans and potentially video and audio data. DJI responded with server-side updates.
IXT enhances its core network by integrating Utel’s network intelligence. The background solution improves real-time visibility and issue detection in global multi-network IoT environments, according to the company.
Satellite IoT is shifting from niche add-on to a second network layer. Telcos add multi-orbit partners to NB-IoT/LTE-M, 3GPP NTN lowers barriers, and “coverage everywhere” becomes expected—bringing new value, but higher costs.
Shanghai Sunmi Technology (SUNMI) has reportedly passed the listing hearing in Hong Kong, moving closer to a potential IPO. The company provides Android-based POS terminals, handhelds and a BIoT platform for managing device fleets. SUNMI will exhibit at EuroShop 2026 in Düsseldorf (Hall 6, G50).
Myriota has introduced AssetHawk, a satellite-based IoT tracker designed for global asset monitoring without reliance on terrestrial mobile networks. The device targets mining, logistics and industrial sectors. Pricing details have not been disclosed, and competition is strong.
Whether industrial facilities, transportation systems, or energy networks: the Internet of Things (IoT) is growing rapidly. Yet the security of billions of connected devices remains a structural challenge. A research team now presents a new concept based on federated learning and decentralized cryptography. The goal is scalable authentication without centralized certificate authorities.
Amazon Web Services (AWS) and European semiconductor manufacturer STMicroelectronics are deepening their cooperation. The goal of the expanded partnership is the joint development of high-performance and energy-efficient cloud and AI infrastructures for data centers, according to a recent statement by AWS.
Autonomous sensors are considered the backbone of the Internet of Things. In practice, however, many projects fail not because of wireless standards, cloud connectivity, or software, but because of energy supply. Power is the limiting factor—especially when sensors are expected to operate maintenance-free for years. Could printed rechargeable batteries be a solution?
The US company Amazon is planning a further expansion of its cloud infrastructure in Germany. Through its subsidiary Amazon Web Services (AWS), three new data centers are to be built in Brandenburg. The facilities are part of a so-called “European Sovereign Cloud.” AWS is promoting it as a cloud offering for European customers that is physically and organizationally separated from the existing US infrastructure. However, not everyone is convinced that true sovereignty is possible as long as a US provider stands behind it.
An overview of the most important IoT, AI, Embedded, and Maker events worldwide through the end of 2026.
