By the Pressac team. Wireless protocols have been the backbone of Internet of Things (IoT) sensor networks, as they influence everything from battery life to system scalability and long-term maintenance. LoRaWAN and EnOcean are two leading technologies that are used in smart buildings, industrial monitoring, environmental sensing and distributed infrastructure. Whilst these are both used […]

By Manuel Nau, Editorial Director at IoT Business News. For more than a decade, energy harvesting has been presented as a pathway toward maintenance-free, batteryless IoT devices. Until recently, however, most deployments stayed in pilots due to limited harvested power, variable ambient conditions, and the economics of energy-management components. In 2026, the picture is changing.

By Satyajit Sinha, Principal Analyst at IoT Analytics. While many in the semiconductor industry are focused on AI chip innovations for the world’s nearly 12,000 data centers, the chips powering the world’s 20+ billion IoT devices are undergoing significant innovations as well. Below, the IoT Analytics team shares 6 predictions for how the IoT semiconductor

emnify, a global leader in cloud-native IoT connectivity, is advancing its innovation leadership through participation in ORIGAMI (Optimized Resource Integration and Global Architecture for Mobile Infrastructure for 6G), an EU-funded research project developing the architectural foundations of next-generation mobile networks. As the industry looks toward the 6G era, ORIGAMI brings together leading European research institutions

As 5G networks continue to evolve, 5G Reduced Capability (RedCap) is gaining attention as a practical new layer within the cellular ecosystem. Positioned between low-power LTE-M/NB-IoT and high-performance 5G NR, it promises mid-tier throughput, lower complexity, and significantly better energy efficiency. After several years of anticipation, 2025–2026 mark the transition from trials to early commercial

Key findings from the IDC InfoBrief, How

Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the UAE rank among world’s leaders on digital transformation, with enterprises across MENA scaling AI, 5G and cloud adoption. The GSMA today launched the report, Accelerating digital industries in the GCC and wider MENA region at the inaugural MWC25 Doha, revealing that enterprises across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA)

By Marc, Lead Editor at IoT Business News. China has launched a two-year commercial trial programme for satellite Internet of Things (IoT) services, a move designed to expand low-Earth-orbit (LEO) connectivity and speed up adoption of non-terrestrial IoT across key industries. The initiative was announced in Wuhan during the 2025 China “5G + Industrial Internet”

By Manuel Nau, Editorial Director at IoT Business News. The European Commission’s CE-Cyber Delegated Act, adopted under the Radio Equipment Directive (RED), represents the most significant regulatory shift for connected devices sold in the EU since the original CE framework. By activating RED Articles 3.3 (d), (e) and (f), the Act introduces mandatory cybersecurity requirements

By Manuel Nau, Editorial Director at IoT Business News. In 2026, the momentum behind on-device AI—also known as edge inference or tinyML—has moved well beyond experimentation. Driven by new low-power AI accelerators, maturing development toolchains, and the cost of cloud inference, IoT manufacturers are reassessing where intelligence should sit in connected architectures. The question is
