May ways lead to Rome, more lead tot he perfect IoT-Solution. In this section we emphasize on different technology approaches in the Internet of Things.
Designing a miniaturized LTE-M antenna quickly runs into the Chu-Harrington limit. Harald Naumann explains why development costs rise exponentially as PCB size shrinks – and how just 10 mm more board length can save €70,000 in engineering effort.
VPNs are structurally ill-suited for IoT and OT environments with thousands of headless devices. Norwegian MVNO IXT has teamed up with Zscaler, Illumio and Shift Security to bring Zero Trust enforcement directly to the SIM level. A look at the technology, practical implications and market context.
OpenAI missed its user targets, Anthropic is raising prices and struggling with outages – the big AI providers are under pressure. Teams that built smart devices on cloud AI are feeling it first. An analysis of what is changing and what it means for IoT projects.
IoT battery life: Five factors determine whether your trackers deliver what the datasheet promises – transmission interval, network quality, sleep modes, temperature, and protocol choice. What decision-makers need to know about PSM, eDRX, Exponential Backoff, and battery chemistry before buying.
A single photo of a test PCB went viral on LinkedIn – and immediately drew sharp criticism from RF and antenna engineers. What looked like a clever prototyping trick turned out to reveal a fundamental tension in hardware development: the faster you test, the more your test setup can mislead you. Here’s what the debate teaches IoT developers.
DECT NR+ is emerging as a powerful wireless technology for the industrial Internet of Things. The standard combines high data rates, low latency and mesh networking to support demanding IIoT use cases. Compared with LoRaWAN, DECT NR+ is particularly suited for data-intensive scenarios such as OTA updates and real-time telemetry.
Europe is emerging as an important hub for satellite-based IoT communication. In particular, numerous operators and technology providers across the continent are active in the field of Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN) and direct-to-device (D2D) approaches. A large share of the currently known 5G-NTN-LEO satellite initiatives originates in Europe.
SGP.32 rarely fails because of core tech; it fails at the handovers between device, eUICC, RSP, network and enterprise IT. In production, everything may look “green” while traffic never reaches the app. This article explains why incident ownership, shared evidence and end-to-end SLOs matter for scaling. Includes an operability checklist.
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?
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.
