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.
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.
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?
An overview of the most important IoT, AI, Embedded, and Maker events worldwide through the end of 2026.
Vorwerk has shut down the Neato cloud, stripping thousands of expensive robot vacuums of their smart features. This article explains how closely Neato and Kobold are related, what Vorwerk officially says about it, and which options the community still has.
Predictive maintenance is often seen as a flagship AI use case in the IIoT, yet many projects fail due to a lack of real fault data. This article explains why class imbalance is a core challenge, how SMOTE and GANs attempt to address it, and which alternative strategies exist beyond synthetic fault data.
Listen to the audio version LG plans to further integrate Artificial Intelligence into its smart TVs. Part of this strategy is Microsoft’s AI service Copilot. What was announced as a feature for new devices is now causing frustration among owners […]
With the new 2025.12 update, Home Assistant is now available for download. This update brings more than cosmetic improvements. Instead, the developer community introduces several major innovations that pave the way for a new phase: smarter automations, clearer user interfaces, and significantly expanded energy and water monitoring.
In times of increasingly frequent cloud outages, arbitrary changes in app control by manufacturers, and opaque data collection, locally operated smart home solutions are gaining importance. A central platform in this field is Home Assistant.
A major Cloudflare outage has taken down key parts of the internet, revealing once more how vulnerable a centralized web has become. Originally designed to be resilient and decentralized, today’s internet increasingly depends on just a few providers—creating massive ripple effects when one of them fails.
