LPWAN tipped to top cellular for IoT until 2024
ABI Research says LoRaWAN and Sigfox will hold the leading share of LPWAN networks connections until at least 2024, but by 2026 cellular technologies NB-IoT and LTE-M will account for 60 percent of its estimate of 3.6 billion LPWAN network connections. However, ABI Research expect LoRa and Sigfox to account for over 80 percent of […]
Beware of ‘Shadow IoT’!
Australian market research firm Telsyte says it has identified a rise in shadow IoT among Australian businesses: experimental IoT projects initiated by individuals or business units without authorisation from IT or other appropriate authority. Telsyte estimates one in four companies have IoT capable devices without a formal strategy around them, and says 81 percent of […]
