By Marc Kavinsky, Lead Editor at IoT Business News. Telit Cinterion has introduced new 5G NR Release 18 module families, FE990D50 and FE990D60, including a variant prepared for FRMCS railway bands, targeting high-end industrial, enterprise and critical infrastructure deployments in North America and EMEA. As 5G matures, the bottleneck in many industrial deployments is no […]

For most of the IoT industry’s history, connectivity has been a terrestrial problem — a question of cellular towers, fibre backhaul, and licensed spectrum. That framework works well across urban centres and industrial corridors, but it leaves vast stretches of the planet — oceans, deserts, polar regions, remote agricultural land — entirely outside the reach

When 5G arrived, it came with extraordinary promises: multi-gigabit speeds, sub-millisecond latency, and the capacity to connect billions of devices simultaneously. For smartphones and fixed wireless broadband, those promises made sense. For the vast majority of IoT applications — the sensors, trackers, meters, and monitors that form the backbone of connected industry — they were

Across industries, organizations are undergoing rapid transformation driven by AI-powered technologies. Businesses are increasingly partnering with OpenAI and other AI development providers to create intelligent systems that improve operational efficiency, strengthen decision-making, and deliver better outcomes for customers and stakeholders through advanced AI software development services. As digital transformation accelerates, AI agents autonomous or semi-autonomous

By Marc Kavinsky, Lead Editor at IoT Business News. Industrial safety teams are increasingly trying to consolidate gas detection, lone worker protection and communications into fewer devices and a single data stream. Blackline Safety says it is now shipping its G8 wearable, positioning it as a multi-function device built around its connected safety platform. In

By Marc Kavinsky, Lead Editor at IoT Business News. Smart street lighting projects often stall on a familiar obstacle: getting devices connected consistently across borders without multiplying carrier contracts and operational overhead. 1NCE says its platform is now being paired with LEOTEK’s LEOLink Intelligent Lighting System to streamline international deployments of connected lighting infrastructure. Street

The rapid expansion of connected devices is pushing enterprises to rethink how machines communicate over wide geographic areas while maintaining energy efficiency and reliability. Cellular IoT technologies have emerged as a key enabler of this shift, offering standardized connectivity built on existing mobile network infrastructure. Among these technologies, LTE-M has gained significant traction for applications

Narrowband IoT (NB-IoT) has emerged as one of the cellular technologies specifically designed to address the connectivity needs of large-scale Internet of Things deployments. As industries deploy millions of connected sensors, meters and devices, traditional cellular networks optimized for smartphones are often inefficient for small, low-power data transmissions. NB-IoT was introduced to address this gap

By Marc Kavinsky, Lead Editor at IoT Business News. With the EU Cyber Resilience Act set to make long-term security updates mandatory, Nordic Semiconductor is repositioning firmware maintenance as a predictable, upfront cost by introducing a lifetime flat-rate FOTA and device management license within nRF Cloud. For connected-device makers selling into Europe, the conversation around

By Marc Kavinsky, Lead Editor at IoT Business News. 5G fixed wireless access gear is increasingly being asked to do more than deliver broadband, particularly in enterprise sites where location and contextual sensing can unlock new services. Telit Cinterion says it will integrate Airfide Networks’ UWB and 60 GHz radar capabilities into platforms built around
