ZENNER Modular and upgradable Internet of Things (IoT) gas meters can address several pain points: (1) Unstable network signal: The existing network (NB/GPRS) is unstable. For now, considering using basic meters or prepaid meters, with plans to upgrade to IoT meters later. (2) High cost of IoT meters: Considering starting with basic meters or IC card meters, and then upgrading to IoT meters later due to cost concerns. (3) Trouble with smart module after-sales service: Smart modules are relatively less reliable, requiring more after-sales support. It can be troublesome for after-sales service or circuit board replacement. External modules offer easier replacement. (4) Rapid iteration of modules: Electronic products undergo rapid iteration, transitioning from 2G to 3G to 4G to NB to 5G, and so forth. #IoT #SmartMeters #GasMeters #ZENNER #ModularTechnology #SmartSolutions

The new version of 5G set to spark cellular IoT growth A report from Rethink Research forecasts that a new scaled-down version of 5G could trigger a surge in wearables, industrial IoT and surveillance. The new 5G RedCap (Reduced Capability) standard is expected to account for almost a third (30.17%) of all cellular IoT connections by 2030 and 61.3% of revenue. With low power consumption but a data capacity and responsiveness similar to current 4G offerings, 5G RedCap is predicted to serve IoT applications from industrial automation, video surveillance and smart grid monitoring to battery-dependent devices such as credit card readers, smart watches and virtual reality glasses. #IoT #5G

How will 5G and 5G RedCap revolutionize IoT connectivity for mobile operators like China Mobile International Limited, Vodafone, and AT&T? Satyajit Sinha, Principal Analyst at IoT Analytics, highlights 5G RedCap's role in enhancing device efficiency and supporting various IoT applications. #IoT #5G #Telecommunications

🌐 Distinguishing Between IoT and Mobile Broadband: What You Need to Know 📶 New starters at Spitfire Network Services Ltd struggle to grasp the differences in mobile connectivity use cases. Today, let’s clarify two fundamental concepts: IoT (Internet of Things) and Mobile Broadband. 🔹 IoT (Internet of Things): IoT represents a network of interconnected devices that automatically communicate and share data to enhance functionality and efficiency. These devices range from household appliances to sophisticated industrial tools. Key aspects include: -Automation and Data Collection: Devices are often sensors or actuators designed to operate autonomously and gather data continuously. -Low Power Consumption: Many IoT devices are designed to consume minimal power and handle small data packets efficiently. -Specific Connectivity Needs: IoT devices typically require less frequent data transfers and can operate on various networks including specialized IoT platforms that support long-range and low-power requirements. 🔹 Mobile Broadband: This is a type of high-speed internet access which utilizes cellular networks used by smartphones and mobile hotspots. It’s characterized by: -High-Speed Data Transfer: Designed to support intensive activities such as streaming, browsing, and large downloads. -Continuous Connectivity: Offers reliable, always-on connection ideal for on-the-go access. -User-Centric: Primarily aimed at providing direct internet access to consumers through mobile devices. #iot #mobile #4G

It was recently announced that Samsung SmartThings™ has more that 290 MILLION users connecting devices throughout an entire ecosystem of Samsung & partner products. It's estimated there are 17 billion connected IoT devices worldwide and that figure is expected to be close on 30 billion by 2030. In monetised terms, the global IoT market generated $269 billion in 2023 alone and is estimated to double again over the next 5 years 🤯 Smart isn't a buzz word for the future anymore, it's here and it's bloody brilliant. If you've been wondering if your building, your project, or chosen products are suitable just talk to us about it... the answer will probably be yes and it'll almost certainly be easier than you think 😊 #iot #smart #smartbuildings #smarthomes #innovation #futurethinking SmartThings Samsung Electronics Air Conditioner Europe Samsung Electronics https://lnkd.in/eSDTJa8j

What Makes IoT Different from Normal Networks? 🤔 The Internet of Things (IoT) is revolutionizing tech connections. Here’s how it stands apart from traditional networks! 🌐 Device Variety: IoT has diverse devices (sensors, wearables) vs. uniform devices (computers) in traditional networks. Scale: IoT is rapidly expanding with billions of devices, unlike the stable size of traditional networks. Protocols: IoT uses low-power, low-bandwidth protocols (MQTT, CoAP), while traditional networks use higher-bandwidth protocols (TCP/IP). Data: IoT focuses on small, real-time data packets with edge computing; traditional networks handle larger data centrally. Power: IoT devices are battery-powered and energy-efficient; traditional devices use continuous power. Security: IoT faces unique security challenges due to device diversity. Deployment: IoT devices operate in varied environments, needing robust designs; traditional devices are in controlled settings. Functionality: IoT devices have specific functions; traditional devices handle multiple tasks. Grasping these differences is key to leveraging IoT’s potential. 🌟 #IoT #InternetOfThings #Networking #Technology #Innovation #supplychain #automation
