5G

As consumer connectivity gets better, so does the ability for IOT devices to be used.

The ability to deliver high speed networks and connectivity to many devices at a relatively low cost will mean that IOT devices can be integrated into many different processes – often replacing expensive legacy technology.

IOT devices will be able to be connected to you whether you’re on a Wi-Fi network or in the park.

Amazon’s IOT Button

Amazon have released their Amazon Dash IOT button – which sold out in the first day.

AWS IOT button: A small device that comprises of literally a button.

Can be programmed to enact a command, meaning that developers can repurpose it for almost any requirement.

The possibilities are endless, and could shape how we order, pay, engage, communicate and also build machinery.

Blockchains and the IOT

InformationAge suggests that blockchains will provide a way for IOT devices to interact with each other and share information securely.

Blockchains could be a way of storing the data that is collected without the data being readily available to hackers.

An example of two relatively new technologies coming together to deliver a solution to a problem we don’t yet have.

Intel, IOT, and the Cloud

Intel has reported that it is focusing its efforts on IOT and the Cloud.

Intel sees IOT devices as “transforming everything and every experience”.

They see the future of tech being split into IOT devices and sensors on one side, and Cloud and data centres on the other side.

Vodafone and Smart Stadiums

Vodafone has announced it will be designing ‘smart stadiums’ for the Qatar World Cup due to the success of the Vodafone Arena in Turkey.

During a recent match at the Vodafone Arena, nearly 12,000 people used a total of 413 GB data through Vodafone’s 4.5G network – and even more data was consumed through the Wi-Fi system within the ground.

Technologies are being employed across stadiums to enhance the fan match-day experience: HD screens broadcasting a range of content, and apps for fans within the stadium to giving queue information and live action replays.

Eight stadiums at the 2022 Qatar World Cup are set to receive the ‘smart stadium’ experience from Vodafone – will football be changed forever?

New Tech: Problems & Solutions

Pwnie Express Inc has raised a considerable amount of funding to launch its service offering dashboards to organisations to show all wired, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth devices in the vicinity.

Useful for businesses with BYOD policies where staff devices need to be closely monitored, or by public organisations who need to understand what devices are in use nearby at any one time.

The technology was utilised at the 2016 Super Bowl game at Levi’s stadium to monitor access points.
