One of the common problems with IoT connectivity is the compromise you have to do between bandwidth and range. There are many solutions like meshing, satellite, and others out there addressing the challenge of supporting high bandwidth over long range, but haven't you ever whished you could just have Wi-Fi transmitting and a high throughput over kilometers?Morse Micro offers solutions based on a new flavor of WiFi called HaLow. Andy McFarlane tells us on this new episode of the IoT Show how the founders of the company contributed to the development of HaLow, how it works, and the kind of scenario it enables.Spoiler: you will have glance at what IoT 2.0 will look like!🔗 Learn more about Morse Micro solutions: https://www.morsemicro.com/

When you start a conversation with Leonard Lee (neXt Curve), you never really know where it will go, but what's sure is that it will be interesting!This one I had with him during the last IoT Stars networking event didn't disappoint and I could ask him about the latest trends he is seeing in IoT, Edge AI, and more. And towards the end of the interview, we had the chance to have Marc Pous join in!🔗 Resources:Stay up to date on latest tech trends on Leonard's channels: https://next-curve.com/

Recorded live from the IoT Stars networking event! 🌟In this episode of the IoT Show, we sit down with Itamar Kunik, co-founder and CEO of Monogoto, to explore how connectivity is evolving from a static utility into a dynamic, software-defined asset."Monogoto" translates from Japanese as "things" or "concepts," reflecting the company's deep focus on the Internet of Things. Itamar explains why modern embedded devices—especially those running Edge AI—need more than just a SIM card; they need a Software-Defined Connectivity (SDC) solution that developers can control via APIs just like any other part of their cloud stack.We discuss the critical challenges of AI & IoT connectivity, specifically why rigid data plans fail when devices need to push large model updates or burst data for retraining. Itamar details how Monogoto’s platform allows for flexible data flows, enabling devices to dynamically switch networks and optimize for cost, coverage, or speed on the fly.🔗 Resources:Monogoto: https://monogoto.ioIoT Stars: https://www.iotstars.com/

The job market is drowning in fake job ads and fake candidates.Marcus Webster (from Webster and Webster associates) joined me on the recent IoT Show live stream from the IoT Stars networking event to discuss what's going on in the recruiting industry and whether IoT is immune or not. Spoiler: IoT is NOT immune.Looking for some help finding the right candidate or job for you? Reach out to Marcus 🤝 https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcusbwebster

Recorded live from the IoT Stars networking event! 🌟In this episode of the IoT Show, we are joined by security industry veteran Window Snyder, founder of Thistle Technologies. With a background leading security at companies like Mozilla, Apple, and Intel, Window is now on a mission to democratize security for embedded developers.Building secure IoT devices has historically been complex, time-consuming, and prone to error. We discuss how Thistle is changing the game by offering "drop-in" security mechanisms. We cover the foundational elements—like simplifying Secure Boot and Over-the-Air (OTA) Updates—and dive into the future of edge computing, specifically regarding Edge AI. Window explains the critical difference between static and dynamic security and why maintaining AI Model Integrity is the next big hurdle for the industry.🔗 ResourcesThistle Technologies: https://thistle.tech/IoT Stars Event: https://www.iotstars.com/

Recorded live from the IoT Stars networking event! 🌟In this episode of the IoT Show, we sit down with Daan Pape, founder of DP Technics, to discuss the state of the art in multi-radio embedded modules. We focus on Walter, their open-hardware IoT module that combines the versatility of the ESP32-S3 with the long-range connectivity of the Sequans GM02SP (LTE-M/NB-IoT & GNSS).Beyond just the specs, we dive into what makes this module unique in the market: its extreme low-power performance. Daan explains how they engineered Walter to achieve ultra-low deep sleep currents (below 10µA), making it a game-changer for battery-operated devices that need to last for years in the field.We also explore the common use cases driving Walter's adoption—from asset tracking to industrial monitoring—and discuss how the product is performing in the current market, including the growing ecosystem of software support.Learn more about Walter 🔗 https://www.dptechnics.com/en/products/walter.htmlCheck out IoT Stars ✨ https://iotstars.com/
