By Marc Kavinsky, Lead Editor at IoT Business News. EdgeBeam Wireless has partnered with Soracom to combine ATSC 3.0-based data distribution with Soracom’s 4G/5G IoT connectivity and SIM authentication, aiming to make large-scale, last-mile data delivery more efficient than cellular-only approaches. For many IoT deployments, the most expensive part of “connectivity” isn’t getting a device […]

Fleet operations are undergoing a structural shift as connected technologies make it possible to monitor vehicles, drivers, and cargo in near real time. For organizations managing distributed assets, Fleet Management has evolved from a logistical necessity into a data-driven discipline that integrates telematics, connectivity, and analytics. At the intersection of IoT, edge computing, and cloud

By Marc Kavinsky, Lead Editor at IoT Business News. Amazon has agreed to acquire mobile satellite operator Globalstar, a move designed to bring licensed MSS spectrum and an existing LEO fleet into Amazon Leo as it develops a direct-to-device satellite system for phones and other cellular endpoints. Direct-to-device (D2D) satellite connectivity has quickly shifted from

Automotive IoT has moved from a niche capability embedded in premium vehicles to a foundational layer of modern mobility systems. As vehicles become increasingly connected, they generate and consume large volumes of data that influence everything from safety systems to fleet operations and customer experiences. This evolution is reshaping how vehicles are designed, operated, and

Guest post by Jared Miller, President of ENODA Ventures Inc. The push toward “massive Internet of Things (IoT)” is reaching a critical inflection point. As recently highlighted in IoT Business News coverage of the LoRa Alliance positioning Long Range Wide Area Network (LoRaWAN) as a foundational layer for massive IoT, the industry is racing to

Healthcare systems are undergoing a structural shift toward more distributed, data-driven care models. As patient monitoring moves beyond hospital walls and into homes, ambulatory settings, and mobile environments, connectivity becomes a foundational layer rather than a supporting feature. In this context, Connected Healthcare is emerging as a critical domain within the broader IoT ecosystem, combining

By Marc Kavinsky, Lead Editor at IoT Business News. Sateliot is launching a €100 million Series C round to fund the next phase of its 5G IoT satellite constellation—a key test of whether 3GPP-aligned connectivity from space can scale into a commercially viable infrastructure model. In satellite IoT, the hardest part is rarely the demo.

KORE says it will introduce an SGP.32-compliant connectivity portfolio in partnership with eSIM specialist Kigen, aiming to make it easier for enterprises to provision, switch and localize cellular IoT connectivity across global device fleets. Global IoT deployments have a familiar weak point: connectivity decisions made at

By Marc Kavinsky, Lead Editor at IoT Business News. Berg Insight says cellular IoT antenna shipments rose 23% in 2025. The milestone is a reminder that as LPWAN and 5G-era use cases expand, antenna design and sourcing are becoming a volume hardware topic again—not just an RF detail left to late-stage product engineering. Connectivity is

Buildings account for a significant share of global energy consumption and operational costs, making them a central focus for digital transformation initiatives. As enterprises look to optimize infrastructure, reduce emissions, and improve operational efficiency, the integration of IoT technologies into the built environment has become a strategic priority. Smart Buildings are emerging as a foundational
