Soracom has moved its SGP.32-compatible IoT eSIMs and its Connectivity Hypervisor profile management to general availability. The eSIMs are only sold with a minimum order quantity of 100 units, and a per-unit price is still missing despite the official availability status — unlike the already listed card SIM variants.
A radio module costing a few euros is enough: security researchers have shown that Hoymiles microinverters in balcony and rooftop solar systems can be detected, switched off, and permanently disabled from several hundred metres away. The cause is an unencrypted radio protocol. An announced patch raises new questions.
A security researcher hijacked thousands of Yarbo robot lawn mowers from Germany, using a password that’s identical across every device and a remote-access backdoor the manufacturer built in on purpose. The case shows why a price tag above $5,000 says nothing about how secure a connected device actually is.
Rocket Lab is acquiring Iridium for roughly $8 billion, becoming a vertically integrated space company. The deal is part of a broader consolidation wave and has direct implications for satellite IoT in logistics, shipping, and industry — from GMDSS distress communications to asset tracking.
Qurium, Synthient, and the Nokia Deepfield team have traced the long-running “Popa” botnet, which turns millions of Android devices into proxy nodes, to NetNut — a subsidiary of NASDAQ-listed Alarum Technologies. The trail leads to an Alarum executive and a company registered in Latvia in 2020. Alarum denies the allegations.
Routers carry 93 percent of European internet traffic – with no EU security framework in place. With SAFENet, four manufacturers are pushing for network policy modelled on the 5G Toolbox. Whether the approach actually solves the structural problem is another question.
A LoRaWAN gateway can serve up to 300,000 smart meters, according to a LoRa Alliance simulation. The new whitepaper offers architecture and parameter guidance for network planners, plus context on what current research adds regarding capacity and coverage.
A vulnerability in TP-Link Tapo devices transmits configuration data over Bluetooth in cleartext during setup — without any encryption. Affected are smart bulbs, power strips, and doorbell chimes. Firmware updates fix the issue, but must be triggered manually.
The unpatchable Qualcomm BootROM vulnerability CVE-2026-25262 continues to affect IoT operators and device manufacturers – and three new critical flaws in Google’s June Android Security Bulletin make the situation worse. Here’s what operators of affected infrastructure need to know.
The new Gartner Magic Quadrant for Managed IoT Connectivity shows a structurally shifting field: Soracom-KDDI enters the Leaders quadrant for the first time, emnify debuts as a Visionary. But what does the ranking really measure – and how much do money and analyst relations play a role?
