Learn From Real-World IoT Experience and Related Best Practices

Component shortages and supply chain disruptions have created havoc with the production of industrial devices which can make it a challenge to meet your IoT development deadlines. Digi International is no exception. We’ve had our share of challenges in obtaining components for Digi XBee® modules, which greatly impacted product availability to our customers.

IoT deployments carry inherent risks like undeterred access to devices, poor connectivity and a very large threat surface. With ever-increasing incidents of intrusion, denial of service, spoofing attacks, etc., businesses must take a strategic view of IoT security. IoT developers and Solutions Architects know that a solid security architecture for IoT will require encryption, authentication, and authorization to run at scale. However, today, IoT security needs a different paradigm than IT security – here is where MQTT comes in to help in mitigating IoT security vulnerabilities.

Enterprises like Sagegreenlife are constantly innovating new ways to turn data from IoT devices into a strategic competitive advantage — and finding best practices to address their challenges. Sagegreenlife’s living walls, which serve companies by bringing nature into man-made spaces, required an easy-to-use and customizable IoT solution that would allow its field operations team to remotely monitor various facets of the irrigation and power systems that support the plants — leveraging both cloud services and highly reliable network connectivity.

The US market has dozens of distributors that transact billions of dollars of revenue each day, but the solutions being built for IoT cannot simply "get in line" with the rest of the products they sell. These solutions have numerous technology component and service considerations. Distribution can be simply defined as storage, transport, and financing of goods and/or services. However, in the fast-paced arena of IoT, the value-add is what fuels the growth. GetWireless is joined by three top tier IoT providers to discuss distribution, challenges and channel strategies.
