Connectivity enabler BICS has inked a partnership with non-terrestrial network (NTN) operator Skylo to offer ubiquitous narrowband internet of things (NB-IoT) connectivity via geostationary orbit (GEO) satellites. At the heart of the deal is the need to address the rapidly expanding internet of things (IoT) market. Citing Statista research, BICS noted that the number of connected IoT devices around the world is expected to nearly double by 2030, growing from 15.14 billion in 2024 to 29.42 billion in the next seven years. ABI Research from July 2023 calculated that the global…

Connected, a Portuguese startup on a mission to make universal, standardised, and affordable Narrow-Band Internet-of-Things (NB-IoT) connectivity from space a reality, has secured its €2 million funding round, the largest pre-seed ever raised by a Portuguese-based space startup. Co-led by FundBox, Shilling VC and Iberis Capital, with significant contributions from Amena Ventures, angel investor Keith Willey and Octopus Ventures, which leads one of the largest and most active investment funds in Europe. Founded in 2023, with this investment Connected will expand the team and accelerate the development of its proprietary…

A new intelligent SIM card technology, known as rSIM (Resilient SIM), has been introduced in partnership with global operators Deutsche Telekom IoT and Tele2 IoT. The rSIM technology is designed to enhance network connectivity for IoT devices by offering an “always on” solution that aims to improve network resilience. The rSIM is the world’s first resilient SIM card that checks its own network connectivity and automatically switches between mobile operator profiles when disruptions occur. This technology allows two independent mobile operator profiles to be stored on a single SIM card,…

In today’s fast-changing world, where technology and sustainability come together, there is an exciting new invention changing how we see the Internet of Things (IoT). These are ambient IoT devices. They use the quiet but strong power of vibration energy to change how we monitor the environment. At the center of this change is vibration-based energy harvesting, offering hope for sustainable solutions. This technology utilizes piezoelectric materials  to generate electricity from mechanical vibrations – think the hum of machinery or the rhythmic tapping of footsteps. Leading this revolution are optimized…

In the latest episode of Lexicon, Interesting Engineering’s podcast, we speak with Gianluca Redolfi, the chief commercial officer (CCO) at Sateliot. This company launched the first set of low-earth orbit (LEO) nanosatellites, bringing 5G coverage to the Internet of Things (IoT). As we all know, digitalization has transformed societies, businesses, health, and education worldwide. Surprisingly, its advantages are limited to just 15 percent of the global population. 

eSIM technology is bringing greater efficiency to the cellular IoT market and empowering enterprises with greater flexibility and choice as shown in new research by Omdia. Catalyzed by the GSMA SGP.31/32 specifications, eSIM technology is primed for mass adoption, particularly on LPWAN devices. With the complexity of switching between network profiles reduced, enterprises can take advantage of easier device management, greater network coverage, and improved commercial terms. eSIM technology has been widely adopted in consumer markets, particularly with higher-end smartphones and smartwatches. Constraints on power, computing, and end user intervention…

We’re in the midst of IoT Evolution Expo’s second day, y’all! As I write this, the massive exhibit hall just opened its doors; it’s legitimately quite the sight to see. For a just a moment, let’s run this back to yesterday afternoon: Before the first day’s goings-on broke for evening cocktails, UScellular’s Mark Foster (the company’s Vice President of Operations and Sales) delivered a keynote presentation chock-full of cellular and IoT-focused information. That conversation was officially titled “Delivering Value in Wholesale Connectivity.” “As a relied-upon carrier, we focus on the…
