The IoT industry has grown and become more accessible to the public thanks to smartphones. There are countless mobile phone brands out there, however, very few are quite as renowned and popular as Apple’s iPhone. In fact, Apple CEO, Tim Cook, recently revealed that there are now over 1 billion active iPhones worldwide. With the […]

Materializing an idea, concept, or plan is often difficult. The process of going from a planning phase in which everything theoretically works perfectly to a finished product is almost always more challenging than expected. This is especially true in the world of IoT. When launching a new IoT project, any experienced IoT developer will tell […]

One of the most important aspects to consider in almost all technological projects is scalability. IoT is no different. Furthermore, if you already know your IoT solution is going to be consistently adding more devices and need to handle an increasing amount of data, scalability should be at the front of your mind. If not […]

The growth of the Internet of Things is undeniable. Over the last decade, a number of small and low-powered IoT devices have emerged on the market. This has helped solve headaches for workers across several different industries and made our everyday lives a lot easier.  However, this growth has also brought new challenges to IoT […]

If there’s one thing everyone’s talking about this year, it’s data privacy. The COVID-19 pandemic and ensuing remote work shift have left workers more vulnerable to privacy breaches than ever before. And this couldn’t be more relevant to the IoT industry, which is fuelled by big data.  In order to regulate data privacy, the EU’s […]

IoT is undoubtedly making our lives easier: at home and in the workplace. The growth of the Internet of Things is only going to continue to gather pace, too. In fact, by the end of 2021, it’s estimated that 35 billion IoT devices will be installed across the globe. By 2025, that number is set […]

It’s safe to say that we’ve not seen the true power and potential of IoT yet. The IoT market is set to almost double in value in the next five years – from $760 billion to $1386 in 2026. And this growth would not even be possible without APIs. API stands for Application Programming Interface. […]

Like all nascent technology, the boom in the Internet of Things (IoT) over the last few years has presented a new set of security challenges. And given the small size and limited processing power of many IoT devices – encryption standards for the IoT can differ compared to many other device classes.  With this in […]

Actuators in IoT are frequently lumped into the same category as IoT sensors, but while they interact closely with each other, they are separate components.  So, with this guide, we’re going to take a deep dive into the sometimes-overlooked actuator. We’re going to cover how they’re used in IoT, clear up the difference between them and […]

If you’re involved in the world of IoT, it’s likely you’ve already come across MQTT (Message Queue Telemetry Transmission). If not, let’s start off by defining what MQTT in IoT is. MQTT is used as a data connection IoT protocol. It features a publisher-subscriber messaging model and allows for simple data flow between different devices. […]
