Nano SIM, eSIM, iSIM… how does it work, and what are the differences?

In everyday life we have been using telecommunication SIM cards for smartphones for years. For ten years, we have seen their format reduced to the mini-SIM, the micro-SIM and finally the nano SIM. And since 2017, we have seen the emergence of eSIM solutions (for embedded SIM). The latter are virtual cards. In terms of […]

Why is Nb-IoT a good connectivity alternative to traditional mobile networks?

2G and 3G networks are historically very good choices for IoT and M2M use cases, as they generally do not require high bandwidth (such as video streaming) and data usage is generally low (~ 3 MB/month per SIM card) overall in 2G case. Since 2G and 3G networks have been in commercial use for more […]

Industrial IoT trends in 2022

The global Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) market size was estimated at $216.14 billion in 2020. And by 2026, it is expected to reach $771.072 billion, according to Polaris Market Research projections. The rapid digital transformations that have occurred during the pandemics are among the primary drivers of this aggressive growth rate. IIoT equipment manufacturers […]

DNA of Things

The amount of data grows exponentially and being able to manage and store it is a challenge. The system called “DNA of things” designed by researchers Yaniv Erlich and Robert Grass allows large amounts of information to be stored in objects and faithfully reproduced in each copy. The starting point has been a nanoscale 3D […]

The Origin of IoT

The concept of IoT is generally summarized in that it is about turning everyday objects into sources of information that are connected to the network. But how and when did the IoT really emerge? The term has its origin at the end of the last century, specifically in 1999, when Kevin Ashton, director of Procter […]
