From buzzword to business value: a simple IoT 101 for non-engineer leaders. Most “beginner” IoT projects die in POCs because they start with tech shopping, not business outcomes. IoT 101 for leaders is simpler than it looks: •A device layer (sensors, gateways) •A connectivity layer (LoRaWAN / LTE / Wi-Fi, etc.) •A cloud + data layer (storage, analytics, alerts) •A workflow layer (integrations with apps and teams) The real work is deciding where to start and what to ignore for version 1. From our IoT projects across smart cities, agritech and med-devices, three patterns keep beginners out of trouble: •Start with one high-value KPI, not “full digital twin of everything.” •Design security from day zero, not after devices are deployed. •Plan integrations early so data flows into tools your teams already use.

Building a Reliable 8-Channel LoRaWAN Gateway with Raspberry Pi CM4 and RAK5146 Over two years ago, I designed and assembled a custom 8-channel LoRaWAN gateway as a demo setup for an early-stage IoT project. The gateway is built using a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 (CM4), a Quectel EG95 cellular module, and the @RAKwireless RAK5146 concentrator. The goal was to create a stable, scalable, and efficient LoRaWAN gateway that could serve as a foundation for larger IoT deployments. This gateway has been running continuously and flawlessly for more than two years, managing a network of over 600 LoRaWAN nodes, and providing reliable coverage up to 3 km. It seamlessly connects to ChirpStack, The Things Network (TTN), and even private LoRaWAN servers. On the node side, I used the RAK3172 module — a robust and highly efficient LoRaWAN solution that perfectly complements the system. This project clearly demonstrates how, with the right design approach and proper module selection, combined with the comprehensive documentation and developer support provided by @RAKwireless, a truly reliable IoT infrastructure can be achieved. IoT made easy. #IoT #LoRaWAN #RAKwireless #SmartCity #EmbeddedSystems #EdgeComputing #ChirpStack #TheThingsNetwork #RaspberryPi #WirelessConnectivity #IoTDevelopment

The IoT landscape just shifted dramatically. Digi International's new XBee 3 Global LTE Cat 4 module isn't just another connectivity solution – it's a paradigm shift toward truly intelligent edge computing. Here's what makes this breakthrough significant: 🧠 Integrated MicroPython environment eliminates the need for separate microcontrollers 🌍 Global carrier pre-certifications mean instant deployment anywhere ☁️ Seamless AWS IoT and Microsoft Azure integration out of the box 📡 High-speed LTE Cat 4 with automatic 2G/3G fallback ensures reliability 🛰️ Built-in GNSS and Bluetooth Low Energy expand application possibilities But here's the real game-changer: Edge intelligence is no longer an add-on – it's built into the connectivity layer itself. This means IoT devices can now process, analyze, and act on data locally before sending insights to the cloud. The result? Faster response times, reduced bandwidth costs, and more resilient systems. From smart agriculture optimizing crop yields in real-time to industrial IoT preventing equipment failures before they happen, this technology enables truly autonomous decision-making at the edge. The convergence of connectivity and intelligence in a single, standardized form factor represents exactly the kind of sensible disruption that transforms entire industries. We're witnessing the evolution from connected devices to truly intelligent systems. What IoT applications do you think will benefit most from this edge intelligence revolution?

💡 Turning IoT Concepts into Commercial Reality: iiOOTE's Success Story Every successful IoT project starts with an idea, but not every idea makes it to a scalable service. That's the journey Swedish systems integrator iiOOTE went through, turning early IoT prototypes into commercial-grade solutions with ThingsBoard. 🤔 The challenge iiOOTE needed a fast, cost-efficient way to prototype IoT solutions and visualize data from hundreds of LPWAN sensors, ready to scale to production. How ThingsBoard helped 🔸 Rapid prototyping with Community Edition: ready-to-use dashboards and protocols 🔸 Centralized data from thousands of LPWAN devices in one place 🔸 Seamless migration to Professional Edition to support growing customer needs 🔸 Personalized dashboards for each client: from municipalities to enterprise users 🎯 The outcome iiOOTE successfully transformed from testing IoT concepts to running full-scale, commercial IoT services, powered by a flexible, future-proof ThingsBoard architecture that grows with them. 🔗 Discover the full story: https://lnkd.in/e7gnQg5X 🤝 Explore how IoT could optimize your business!

Still managing IoT devices in spreadsheets? It’s a common trap, until scale exposes the cracks. Automation and visibility aren’t just “nice to have”, they’re essential for sustainable IoT operations. Platforms like Daizy are redefining what good service management looks like. #IoT #Automation #DigitalTransformation #DaizyPlatform #AssetManagement

You can’t connect machines if your IoT platform can’t speak their language. That’s where most solutions fail — in the silence between devices and platform from multiple vendors. One thing we’ve learned after years of working with connected machines — IoT doesn’t succeed in isolation. Every machine speaks a different language. Every site runs a different mix of assets — old and new, imported and local, each with its own quirks. If your IoT platform can’t speak to all of them, you don’t have visibility — you have fragments. That’s why at Datoms, we built one foundational pillar: Simplify onboarding and make machines connect in minutes, not days. Our platform supports any asset type, make, or model — Compressors, Chillers, Gensets, HVAC systems, Energy Meters, VFDs, Solar Inverters, UPS or anything in between. You don’t need to dive into protocols, registers, or data frames. We handle the complexity, so your focus stays on outcomes — not configurations. Because the future of IoT isn’t about connecting devices. It’s about connecting possibilities. #Datoms #IoT #ConnectedMachines #MachineConnectivity #Innovation #IndustrialIoT #DeepTech #Automation #DigitalTransformation
