The deployment of Internet of Things (IoT) networks has rapidly increased over recent years – to connect homes, cities, farms, and many other industries. Today, these networks rely on connectivity solutions, such as LoRaWAN, operating in the ISM bands. Our experience from deployments in multiple countries has shown that such networks are bottlenecked by range and bandwidth.

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.

The future of wireless networking needs will continue to grow. Location based services, sensors, and IoT devices will continue to be added to wireless networks. Expanding and new uses of Wi-Fi that require high performing connections like AR/VR, AI/ML, and new technologies we don’t even know about yet will compete for wireless network resources. Finally, all the standard uses we currently associate with Wi-Fi like video and voice calls, streaming services and cloud hosted applications will continue to bring more devices to wireless networks with increasing traffic demands.

This document introduces the main aspects and decisions you need to consider before and during your development phase of a low-power cellular Internet of Things (IoT) product. The sections are structured and ordered chronologically to follow a natural way of designing a cellular IoT device. The first sections cover the initial design decisions you might need to make to get the best possible baseline of your design. This includes overviews about the nRF9160 System in Package (SiP), modem radio, and radio technologies. The importance of network coverage and access is also discussed.

As the world’s growing need for energy meets the power of the Internet of Things, the traditional energy marketplace is rapidly transforming. Millions of meters and energy assets are connected and digitized each year, providing enormous benefits to the entire ecosystem: real time tracking of energy production and consumption data, optimized load balancing systems, streamlined operations and billing systems to name a few. As connectivity expands and the landscape is digitalizing, new distributed energy resources (DERs) and stakeholders are able to integrate into and expand the grid. DERs offer non-carbon resources that improve the energy sector’s overall carbon footprint, a key benefit for everyone.

By now, everyone has heard the terms desktop virtualization and VDI It seems like we’ve been pounded with marketing propaganda about these technologies from companies like VMware, Citrix® and Microsoft® since 2006. But if desktop virtualization is so good, why are most of the world’s desktops still “old-style” physical desktops and laptops?
