Like many of you, Covid-19 has altered my life perspective.…
How lean can you go is a common theme for smart metering, smart lighting, logistics, and other massive IoT solutions. From device cost to bytes per message to security practices to energy-efficiency, examining every last detail is necessary when “success” comes down to controlling costs. At its most fundamental level, device management is about unlocking…

Choosing a protocol is a strategic choice. Before looking at protocols, however, start by asking yourself a few simple project questions: What kind of IoT are you going to be doing? Small deployments or larger, geographically dispersed deployments? Will you be using LPWANs or other networks? How much security is responsible? Is device battery life…
20″You can see the stars and still not see the light”—The Eagles, Already Gone, 1974 Years of experience in technology have taught me a few hard lessons. The first lesson is that new technology is often over-hyped, forgetting that technology is a means, with business being the goal. As adoption begins, those steadfast few, the…

Tomorrow, thanks to the Internet of Things (IoT), public lighting will likely be more akin to Lighting-as-a Service (LaaS). LaaS leveraging networks, sensors, and predictive analytics to provide cars and pedestrians with lighting on a personalized, as-needed…
