The Internet of Things is one of the most interesting technological advancements we have today. And within this spectrum, the connected car is perhaps the most exciting and advanced ‘thing’ in that ecosystem, writes Mark Hughes, the chief executive of BT Security. Connected cars have a range of wildly clever features; from intelligent driver assistance and predictive systems that help bypass traffic jams, to sensors that help track driver behaviour and reduce emissions.

When considering cellular connectivity, M2M has always been mainly about using low data rates. The aim for M2M solution designers has been to get the required information from a remote device using the least amount of bandwidth feasible for the job. Now that is beginning to change, but not in a uniform way. So why the interest in a high data rate technology like LTE? (more…)

M2MAPPS: Rod: Multi-Tech has an interesting and unusual portfolio: lots of pre-certified products as well as professional and manufacturing services. How do you distill it down into a clear, concise offer?
ROD LANDERS: It’s very simple. Our products are platforms that allow companies to deliver M2M services in very short time frames. We have a comprehensive portfolio of pre-certified end devices and that allows us to match an off-the-shelf product with the functionality of the service that the company is designing. (more…)

M2MAPPS: Sigfox has employed license-free spectrum to create a cellular network that is dedicated to M2M and the IoT. The obvious question is why? What is wrong with cellular technology?
THOMAS NICHOLLS: I’d like to start with a reminder that M2M and IoT applications come in numerous sizes and shapes. Those that need relatively high data rates work well with existing connectivity technologies, but many others only need to exchange small messages every so often. (more…)
