Comment on 5G IoT connections to exceed 100M by 2026 by Ravi

It’s truly remarkable how BT and AWS are coming together to bring the power of 5G to the world of IoT. The low latency and high bandwidth provided by the AWS Wavelength technology have the potential to revolutionize various industries, from healthcare to transportation. It is likely that remote surgeries become more accessible and efficient through the real-time data transmission enabled by this collaboration. It’s amazing to think about the positive impact it can have on people’s lives.

Comment on Arlo criticised for new end-of-life policy by Quaz

Arlo is killing the primary function of these cameras, not because of privacy or cybersecurity issues as it claims. That is gaslighting by the CEO who has been trying to do this since 2018 when he took over from Netgear. The proof is you can still pay for cloud storage, you just can get it free for seven days as advertised when these cameras were sold to you.

Local storage is no substitute because some people don’t own the base unit allowing it and for those who do, the feature was only designed to retrieve files by removing a USB drive and connecting it to a PC or Mac to view them. You will not be able to view recordings remotely through the app as you can now. For example, if a package is delivered to your front door, you cannot view the clip while at work too see if it was Fedex or a family member who dropped it off. If you’re on vacation and want to know when a package was delivered or a burglar broke in, there is nothing you can view until you return home, pull the USB drive and search the files on your computer.

You will notice the End of Life announcement from Arlo fails to address any transition or deficiencies using local storage. Many of the products slated to be bricked at the end of the year, were still being sold brand new three years ago at Best Buy and Costco. Is that fair to consumers to brick a security system after only four years.

Remember when Apple was fined millions in the UK for crippling features on older iPhones under the false claim of preserving battery life? Before the same issues were heard in US courts, Apple reversed course and offered battery replacements for those iPhones at a significant discount. The outcry was that a company can’t intentionally cripple the function of a product to coerce customers into upgrading or buying nee products. Arlo and CEO Matthew McCrae should be ashamed and publicly vilified for this.

Comment on Bristol Temple Meads named UK’s first Station Innovation Zone by Ryan Daws

In reply to Steve. We can hope! It would certainly help to make transport around Bristol far less painful

How about automated vehicles to quickly get passengers from the station to Broadmead and the Centre? If single pick-up and drop off points, this will make the service quick and simple to use.

The cost could be included in the rail ticket as an option.

In reply to Illia Kyselov. I also hope such international efforts will weaken Russia's ability to carry out (and sustain) both digital and physical attacks. Thanks for reading Illia and stay safe.

I live in Ukraine and am involved in what is happening. It’s true, there is a lot of disinformation coming from Russia and it’s hard to fight it. I hope sanctions can weaken their potential…

Comment on Arm unveils new solutions for IoT and automotive applications by Rohin

Rohin — Mon, 09 Aug 2021 13:31:09 +0000

Great Post! I firmly believe that IoT is at the epic centre of the Digital Transformation Revolution. IoT will help provide a lot of business solutions sustainably. Also, fishermen and farmers will be empowered using IoT Solutions that will steadily increase the economic conditions of countries such as India, where Agriculture is the primary source of livelihood for around 58% of the population. Keep up the Good Work!

Comment on NHS Scotland employs drones to quickly transport vital medical supplies by Charles Ellson

If it is in Scotland then it is NHS Scotland not “The UK’s NHS”. There has never been an all-UK NHS.

Comment on Why network localisation will power the future of IoT by René Eekelder

René Eekelder — Fri, 16 Jul 2021 11:07:16 +0000

Indeed, connectivity is a key requirement for the success of IOT. eSims and Network localization can certainly contribute to that.
Speaking of connectivity, one of the great promises of IOT is that indeed everything is connected to everything (examples: a refrigerator that “automatically” passes the order list to the supermarket, so that it “automatically” drives by; optimization of the use of parking spaces in the city, where cars, parking lots, traffic poles, etc. communicate with each other). This requires, among other things, unified standards and that each part of the relevant field has taken the necessary steps in IOT.
Fortunately, anyway, more attention has been paid lately to network and device security.
In addition, a focus of companies on innovation rather than “we’ve always done it this way” is important. In addition, some companies are (too) afraid to adapt old systems: although they may not work optimally, at least they work. These companies often do not realize that there are many opportunities to reap the benefits of IOT with modifications, without throwing away their old systems.
