An Overview of the Current Low Power Wide Area Network Market

Alexander Gluhak

Transforming disruptive technology developments from early hype to commercial reality is often a bumpy ride, which also the Internet of Things (IoT) is currently experiencing. The first success stories from early adopters have given rise to a huge diversification of the underlying technology base driven by a gold rush of aspiring entrepreneurs. However, larger companies are also joining the race to cut out a big slice of the promised Trillion Dollar IoT revenue cake.

Complimentary Webinar: IoT Security Best Practices
Individuals, companies, and countries have suffered great harm resulting from unnecessarily weak computer and internet security. The sheer number of potential IoT devices implies that, if not defended effectively, the IoT has the potential to permit even greater harm. Much of this potential harm is preventable by enforcing a few simple rules. The IEEE Internet Initiative will host a complimentary webinar at 10 a.m. EDT on September 27, 2017, focusing on IoT security guidelines and best practices that can be used as a basis for future standards, certifications, laws, policies, and/or product ratings. Presenters will be IoT Security Best Practices white paper authors George Corser and Jared Bielby. Registration is now open on the IEEE Internet Initiative website.
