What is Edge Computing in IoT?

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 […]

IoT Latency: The Power of Real-Time Communication

Low-latency IoT for real-time communication

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 […]

The Best IoT Innovations at CES 2025: A Glimpse into the Future

Welcome to Las Vegas sign greeting visitors to the CES 2025 event.

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 […]

Securing India’s IoT Landscape: Certifications and Opportunities for Developers

Despite all the buzz around smart vehicles, people often overlook what makes these vehicles smart. One piece of the intelligence puzzle is IoT. In automotive IoT, vehicles are equipped with various devices connected to a network to capture and share information. The more information vehicles can share with each other, the smarter and more responsive […]

What Are the Best Audio Codec Chips for your IoT Design?

So, you’re putting together an IoT system and thinking about adding some audio capabilities. Maybe you’re working on a smart home device or a voice assistant. Whatever the project, integrating sound can take that project to the next level. These days, audio features like voice commands, real-time communication, and high-quality playback aren’t just cool extras […]

What are the Top WebRTC Use Cases in IoT?

WebRTC Use Cases

Around the world, 127 new devices are connected to the Internet every second. That translates to 329 million new devices hooked up to the Internet of Things (IoT) every month. The IoT landscape is expanding by the day, and, consequently, novel ways of running an IoT network are also evolving. An emerging area of interest […]

Ensuring Quality of Service (QoS) in IoT Networks

Not all streaming protocols are created equal. Some protocols are better than others at facilitating high quality communication between devices over a network. The ability of a network to transmit data between devices at the highest standard is known as quality of service (QoS). The internet, by design, does not have built-in QoS, meaning all […]

What is an IoT Platform?

When you’re first entering the world of the internet of things (IoT), you will likely encounter a variety of unfamiliar terms. One such term being an IoT platform. This is a technology framework that enables the connection, management, and operation of various IoT-enabled devices over the internet. An IoT platform allows different devices to communicate […]

Everything You Need to Know About the FCC’s Cybersecurity Labeling Program

As cyberattacks become increasingly sophisticated, so too must cybersecurity initiatives and technologies. However, IoT technologies in particular seem to have lagged behind. Many IoT devices have weak cyber defenses, if they have any at all. Something as seemingly mundane as a smart dishwasher or smart lighting system might allow nefarious actors to gain access to […]
