After many years of being mired in stasis–evolving technologically, but not much advancing as a global market–IoT may have turned a corner in the last year or so. The international IoT connectivity and software provider 1NCE has done its part to try to get the market going, last year launching operating system software to help users connect devices and collect data from them, and more recently unveiling a program for third-party developer plug-ins to help these clients manage and continue to mature their IoT environments. 1NCE Plugins was announced last…

Advancing IoT Connectivity in Remote Locations: The Power of Satellite Communications, LoRaWAN, and Senceive Products in Critical Infrastructure Monitoring In the dynamic realm of IoT and critical infrastructure monitoring, reliable and seamless connectivity is paramount. The adoption of wireless remote condition monitoring has grown significantly over the last decade, particularly in rail, mining and infrastructure applications. In most cases, however, it has been constrained by the availability of cellular network coverage to connect sensors with users. This has prevented its use in areas beyond the cellular network – such as…

A new study from Juniper Research found the global number of IoT eSIM connections will near 1.3 billion by 2028, from 165 million in 2024. This growth will be driven by emerging eSIM specifications that provide greater flexibility to enterprises to remotely provision eSIM profile switching over IoT devices. The GSMA’s SGP.32 is the newest technical specification for eSIM remote provisioning for IoT devices, and enables the remote activation of eSIM profiles via an eIM (eSIM IoT Manager). Previous eSIM specifications caused network or user-interface constraints for IoT devices, as…
