A few months ago we asked Jan Höller, an IoT expert, a Research Fellow at Ericsson and the co-author of the book "From Machine-to-Machine to the Internet of Things: Introduction to a New Age of Intelligence", to give us a comprehensive review of how M2M solutions are being adapted to an IoT world. We are now continuing the transcription of this fascinating interview. In it, Höller provides us with a viewpoint on IoT applications across industries, as well as various other issues that are driving the evolution of the technologies around it.

Under each machine, every connection, any kind of interface... there is a programming language. The IoT connects a myriad of devices to each other, creating a massive, complex network. But there are thousands and thousands of programming languages, too. Which is the most commonly used in the development of IoT? The choice of one language over another determines the end product or service, as well as the technical possibilities or the user experience. In the age of the Internet of Things, choosing the programming language properly is vital to the success of the project.Read more
2016 has been the year when connectivity started to change driven by LPWA technologies and Personal IoT gains traction as a scenario where users are the main players. But other interesting technologies such as BlockChain, Virtual/Augmented Reality and Machine Learning are also emerging and growing quickly in the ecosystem. These are the trends that are setting the stage for 2017.Read more
The IoT is everywhere. It's a reality. It reaches even the market toys for both children and adults. Actually, IoT is interconnecting every aspect of our world, revolutionizing it to a new level. In this special edition of ‘Amazing Things’ we demonstrate you about some toys with which you can pattern, how far connectivity and its perks can reach.Read more
The standards that have massive and early implementation expectations on the part of the industry, as is the case with 5G, have to satisfy many more legitimate interests, but are difficult to align. There are three main expectations to be met by the new mobile connectivity standardRead more
On Friday 21 October of this year there was an attack that prevented access to services that are used every day such as Twitter, Paypal and Spotify.
Once it had been resolved and the causes analysed, it was determined that part of the attack had originated from what was hitherto unlikely suspects: IoT devices infected with malicious code.
This post analyses what exactly happened, what the motives were, why IoT devices were chosen and how you can protect them with technology from the operator so that they are not involved in the next attack.
We should start by explaining what Industrial IoT (IIoT) – also known as Industry 4.0 – is. It is undoubtedly as much a revolution as the three previous revolutions were. But this revolution is quieter and trickles from certain businesses to reach the entirety of organizations. In the digital era, changes move faster than in previous periods.
The term Industry 4.0 was coined by the German Academy for Science and Technology (acatech) a association that protects the interests of key players such as Bosch or Siemens. The term chosen by acatech has...Read more
