Connecting Physical and Digital Worlds to Power the Industrial IoT

July 4, 2017

Today’s manufacturers are on the cusp of a “Fourth Industrial Revolution”1 — so-called smart manufacturing, based on the Internet of Things (IoT) and an understanding of the rich data residing at the network’s edge. To realize the promise of the industrial IoT, companies must integrate operational technology with enterprise IT. They must collect and analyze data across the organization — from customer orders and production on the shop floor, to supply chain and delivery — to generate actionable insights and foresights.

The aim is to support innovation and help organizations work together to develop and deliver market-ready 5G solutions, technology applications and business ventures. 5TONIC promotes joint project development, entrepreneurial ventures, discussion fora, events and conferences with focus on 5G mobile technology, supporting members along the technological cycle from research to practical business application.

Powering the Internet of Things with End-to-End Battery Testing

whitePaper | January 24, 2023

Technology is advancing rapidly, transforming many aspects of society, including how we communicate, navigate, and treat diseases. The Internet of Things (IoT) is growing rapidly as there are more electronics than ever to run accurate diagnostics, more sensors to increase autonomy, and better connectivity to avoid interference. Plus, the miniaturization of semiconductor components and advancement in electronic display technologies enables consumer electronic (CE) devices to become compact.

IoT Security for Commercial Buildings

whitePaper | November 24, 2019

In 2017 the number of connected devices in commercial buildings surpassed the mark of 1 billion. By 2021 this number will grow to more than 3,6 billion devices. However – even though there are so many connected devices, applications for Smart Buildings remain in silos, each with their own proprietary solutions.

Security Impact of IoT on the Enterprise

whitePaper | November 28, 2019

We are moving to a time where many ‘things’ that we know and use have the capability to be connected to a network either wired or wirelessly. The way we use technology is becoming more integrated in all aspects of our daily lives and is steadily integrating within the enterprise environment. A core concern for businesses is therefore the risk of introducing Internet of Things (IoT) devices to the enterprise.

Wi-Fi 6: Leveling Up the Technology

whitePaper | October 17, 2022

The IEEE 802.11 working group, established in 1990, published its first Wi-Fi standard in 1997. Since that time, the rapid adoption of Wi-Fi-enabled devices, streaming services, and applications has provided users with innovative solutions to participate in nearly all facets of daily living—from anywhere and at any time.

Advancing the Industrial Internet of Things

whitePaper | December 6, 2019

This white paper demonstrates how two leading organizations in the Internet of Things (IoT) can work together towards a common purpose of a robust, interoperable, flexible and efficient Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). We first introduce the two organizations, the Industrial Internet Consortium (IIC) and oneM2MTM, then illustrate their technical approach to IoT solutions, demonstrating how both organizations’ thought leaders envision the growth of IoT through collaboration.
