Cellular preparing to battle proprietary tech for the IoT
The Internet of Things is emerging as an important market from MSOs like Comcast, AT&T and Verizon. As various companies plot strategies to take advantage of IoT, a veritable alphabet soup of different proprietary IoT connectivity solutions like Sigfox and Ingenu are competing for share.
LTE faces challenges from proprietary technologies in IoT race
As LTE and other wireless-based IoT technologies work through the standards process, they are being challenged by a number of proprietary approaches that use low power wide area network (LPWAN) technologies.
Cellular gears up to take on proprietary tech in the IoT: Explaining LTE Cat M, Cat 1 and Cat 0
Players such as Sigfox, Ingenu and the LoRa Alliance are rushing to meet those demands with low power wide area network (LPWAN) technologies, taking advantage of a head start as standards for cellular-based IoT offerings are finalized. As those cellular technologies begin to come to market, though, the two sides will battle to provide connectivity for everything from autonomous cars to industrial components to sensors in agricultural fields.
LTE gets ready to fight against proprietary tech for the IoT
While cellular-based Internet of Things (IoT) technologies are still being finalized in the standards process, non-cellular solutions like those promoted by Ingenu, Sigfox and members of the LoRa Alliance are catching a bit of a break.
How wireless carriers can get in on the VR action
Google's not the only one making a splash in the virtual reality (VR) waters. Virtually every major tech company, including big device makers, are making a VR play as well.
Android Wear 2.0, Daydream mobile VR highlight 'the next evolution of Google'
Google showcased its Android Wear 2.0 smartwatch and Daydream mobile virtual reality technologies at Google I/O in Mountain View, California last week, and both tools could reshape the way developers collaborate with the technology giant.
Hologram wants to build cellular platform just for Internet of Things
Chicago-based Hologram last week launched its cellular platform for the Internet of Things (IoT), a platform that it says, unlike legacy cellular solutions, is built specifically for developing and deploying IoT products.
FCC's set-top box proposal gets thumbs up from group of House Dems
A group of Democratic lawmakers, including Congresswoman Anna Eshoo (D-Calif.) and Congressman Mark Takano (D-Calif.) issued a letter encouraging their colleagues to support the FCC's plan to allow pay-TV customers to purchase their own third-party set-tops instead of renting device.
Special report: Assessing disruption in the dynamic IoT
The burgeoning IoT is a dynamic space where traditional cellular carriers are competing with smaller operators of networks designed specifically for connected devices other than smartphones and tablets. And all those service providers are looking to provide connectivity to everything from agricultural sensors to complex smart-city systems.
Vodafone, AT&T, others look to new LTE-based technology to drive Internet of Things
Vodafone's promise to roll out NB-IoT technology across multiple markets in 2017 gives a boost to the low power wide area (LPWA) technology that cellular operators around the world plan to use to compete against proprietary solutions touted by the likes of Ingenu, Sigfox and LoRa.
