Streaming audio and video over the internet has become essential for everything from live sports and gaming to virtual meetings and IoT applications. But not all streaming technologies are created equal. Two of the most widely used protocols – WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) and RTMP (Real-Time Messaging Protocol) – offer distinct advantages depending on your […]

As the first quarter of 2025 wraps up, more businesses are shifting away from relying solely on the cloud and turning to edge computing. In edge computing, data gets processed closer to where it’s created – rather than in faraway cloud servers – which helps reduce lag and improve security. Peer-to-peer (P2P) communication is often […]

Before you can build an IoT application, you need a solid foundation. An IoT framework acts as the scaffolding, ensuring that your system works smoothly and can connect with other devices. A well-structured framework makes it easier for devices to communicate, scale, and stay secure. From picking the right hardware to choosing communication protocols, from […]

The rise of smart technology has transformed the way devices communicate. But at the core of this transformation are IoT networks – communication systems that allow Internet of Things (IoT) devices to collect and exchange data. These networks can either facilitate device-to-device communication (aka peer-to-peer, or P2P) or they can establish lines of communication between […]

In the European Union, the Radio Equipment Directive (RED) has long set the rules for wireless devices, ensuring that they meet safety, spectrum efficiency, and compatibility requirements. But in 2025, compliance is getting tougher: new cybersecurity standards adopted under RED, including EN 18031, will require IoT devices to have stronger protections against cyber threats, privacy […]

The Internet of Things (IoT) architecture connects physical devices to the internet, enabling objects to capture and transmit real-world data. In this interconnected landscape, speed and security are critical. And IoT edge computing plays a key role in achieving both. Edge computing is a way of processing and analyzing data locally, rather than transmitting it […]

When it comes to real-time communication in smart devices, developers often weigh the Web Real-Time Communication (WebRTC) protocol and WebSocket against each other. Both technologies allow fast, two-way data exchange, but they serve different purposes. Here’s everything you need to know about WebRTC vs. WebSocket in IoT. What is WebRTC? WebRTC is a technology that […]

As IoT technology advances, more applications are pushing for ultra-low latency to enable real-time communication. Traditional IoT use cases, often centered around “massive IoT” – large networks of devices sending small, periodic data like temperature or energy sensors – are giving way to “critical IoT” applications that require near-instantaneous responses. These high-demand scenarios can’t afford […]

As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to expand, regulatory compliance in the IoT space becomes not only more complex but also more critical. The interconnected nature of IoT devices means that a vulnerability in any single device can expose an entire network to risk. No surprise, then, that there are myriad regulations and standards […]

The annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2025 has just wrapped up in Las Vegas, and while Artificial Intelligence certainly captured a lot of attention, it was the Internet of Things (IoT) that stole the spotlight. In our increasingly interconnected world, IoT devices are driving innovation and creativity in unlikely places, and interest in the technology […]
