IoT Wireless Connectivity Bootcamp

IoT wireless connectivity is a complex ecosystem of interconnected devices that can communicate with each other.

IoT connected devices are able to gather, share, and analyze information and take actions accordingly.

Research shows that there were 35 billion smart devices online last year and in the future of IoT this number will rise to 75 billion by 2025. So obviously, the IoT is growing at an enormous rate and so are the use cases, trends and technologies surrounding it.

Technologies that are driving trends in IoT include blockchain, 5G, edge computing and artificial intelligence.

Within this interconnected web of technological advances lies in the business value of IoT applications that include:

  • Smart cities
  • Location trackers
  • Autonomous cars
  • Smart factories
  • Smart wearables
  • Smart homes and buildings

There’s a tendency to think of the Internet of Things (IoT) as one, interconnected technological entity.

But in actuality, the IoT is a much more widely diverse and multifaceted realm. In fact there are several types of IoT wireless technology, including:

  • Bluetooth and BLE
  • Cellular
  • LPWANs
  • WIFI
  • RFID

Tech analysts insist that each IoT realm has its own strengths and weaknesses, best-suited for different IoT use cases.

For example, Low Power Wide Area Networks (LPWANs) are the new phenomenon in IoT. By providing long-range communication on small, inexpensive batteries that last for years, this family of technologies is purpose-built to support large-scale IoT networks sprawling over vast industrial and commercial campuses.

One particularly big advantage of LPWANs is that they can connect all types of IoT sensors. This helps facilitate numerous applications from asset tracking, environmental monitoring and facility management to occupancy detection and consumables monitoring.

Another IoT realm, cellular, is of course already well-established in the mobile market. Cellular networks offer reliable broadband communication supporting various voice calls and video streaming applications.

On the downside, they impose very high operational costs and power requirements.
