IoT For All

Almost every new connected product starts with the same design question: which wireless protocol actually fits this device? For a huge share of consumer and commercial IoT products today, the honest answer is "both" — and that's driving rapid growth in combo BLE + Wi-Fi SoCs, which handle setup, control, and high-throughput data over a single chip rather than forcing a choice between the two. Here's what's actually driving that shift, and what to weigh when evaluating a combo SoC for a new design.

The artificial intelligence boom has had a transformative impact on several high-tech industries, but its integration with IoT devices could fundamentally transform the way we collaborate with our peers in remote working environments. Machine learning (ML), as a subset of AI, is a natural partner for Internet of Things technology because of its frictionless ability to work with large, unstructured datasets and convert readings into actionable insights.

Life Without a Signal: When the Fleet Goes Dark Monogoto - Last Updated: September 3, 2026 Monogoto - Last Updated: September 3, 2026 It’s 2:17 a.m. on a Tuesday, and a refrigerated trailer is somewhere on I-80 in western Nebraska. The tracker on it last reported at 1:04. Nobody knows that yet, because nothing in the system is designed to announce an absence. The dashboard shows the last known position, and it looks exactly like the current position until someone checks the timestamp.

The global transition to green energy faces a stubborn, physical paradox: the sun doesn’t always shine when the factories are running, and the wind doesn’t always blow when the city lights flicker on. This intermittency gap has long been the Achilles' heel of renewables, forcing grids to rely on carbon-heavy plants to maintain stability. However, a quiet hardware revolution is unfolding within shipping-container-sized units known as battery energy storage systems (BESS).

MESA, Ariz. – September 2, 2026 – Iveda® (NASDAQ: IVDA), a global provider of AI-powered smart city and public safety technologies, today announced growing commercial and government interest in IvedaAir, its newly launched line of AI-powered Rotary Wing Unmanned Aircraft Systems (RUAS), as the company advances discussions with prospective users and strategic partners ahead of an invitation-only flight demonstration in Arizona this fall.

How Agentic AI Can Transform Sourcing Decisions Through Better Data Access Naresh Chittamur - Last Updated: September 1, 2026 Naresh Chittamur - Last Updated: September 1, 2026 Although procurement teams have unprecedented access to data, sourcing decisions often utilize only a small portion of available information.

A question that came up in a recent discussion about CRA compliance was whether secure boot is actually required or just recommended. The short answer is: it is required, and it is required because without it, none of your other security measures work reliably. A device that boots unverified firmware is a device an attacker can fully own - regardless of how good the rest of your security architecture is.

A container leaves the port. A mining vehicle heads into remote terrain. A shipment crosses a border and somewhere along the route, cellular coverage disappears, and with it, your visibility into the asset. That's the problem with calling something a "global" tracking solution when the connectivity underneath it isn't actually global. Cellular networks were built around where people live, work, and travel. Towers cluster around cities, highways, ports, and population centers.

Critical Manufacturing, the Industrial Operations Platform company that unites execution, connectivity, analytics, and trusted AI, has tested and certified Portainer Business on Talos Linux as a supported container platform to run Critical Manufacturing’s Manufacturing Execution System (MES).

SINGAPORE – 28 August 2026 – Groundup.ai, the industrial machine intelligence company and pioneer of Agentic AI for Cognitive Maintenance, has been awarded a tender by PUB, Singapore's National Water Agency, to implement and maintain a Predictive Maintenance and Reliability System for the water utility's critical assets. Selected through an open tender that attracted 15 respondents, Groundup.ai was the sole provider awarded the contract, valued at S$3,995,473.
