IoT Insider - where IoT meets industry

Disposable Internet of Things (IoT) devices challenge the idea that connected hardware must last for years, especially as your deployments grow more temporary and distributed. Short-lived, low-cost sensors have emerged in cases where retrieval or reuse adds little value to your operation, such as one-way shipments or clinical trials.

IoT Insider is to host its first webinar as the publication expands its coverage of emerging cyber security risks facing connected devices and industrial systems.

Network operators around the world are racing to adapt as Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites prepare to reshape global connectivity.

The skies above Earth are filling fast. With hundreds of thousands of satellites planned by China, SpaceX, and Blue Origin, the radio frequency bands that allow them to communicate are under increasing strain. The congestion is already causing interference that disrupts Earth imaging and astronomical research. One European start-up believes it has found a solution: Astrolight, a Lithuanian space-tech company, is developing laser-based communication systems that can transmit vastly more data, immune to interference, and potentially unlock a new era of high-speed, secure satellite connectivity.

Researchers at Incheon National University have set out a detailed roadmap for a new class of flexible bioelectronics built from ultra-thin crystalline silicon, a material they argue could bridge the long-standing gap between high-performance semiconductor technology and the soft, dynamic environment of the human body.

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology are now working on a solution: a smart pill that can confirm when it has been taken and send a signal beyond the body.

After more than a decade as a niche curiosity, manufacturers say smart rings are finally becoming a mainstream wearable.
