Amazon has announced that it's buying mesh networking fim Eero. The company was founded in 2015 and is based in San Francisco. According to Crunchbase it employs between 51 and 100 people.
In January 2018, the company laid off 30 employees, around 20% of the company. It has raised around $90 million in four funding rounds so far.
The company's product is selling simple, powerful networking hardware that's easy to use. Eero says that you can take its product out of the box and have it up and running in 10 minutes.
It has two main products, a smaller repeater that plugs into a power outlet and a larger device that can cover 1,500 sq feet with Wi-Fi. The hardware scales so that larger houses can add more devices to provide comprehensive wireless coverage.

Nokia last week said that it was selling off its digital health business, after failing to develop it into a substantial business itself, but this week the Finnish company is announcing an acquisition that underscores how it is doubling down in another one of its business areas, the Internet of Things. Nokia has acquired SpaceTime Insight, a California-based IoT startup that provides predictive analytics based on machine learning algorithms.
Terms of the deal are not being disclosed, Bhaskar Gorti, president of Nokia Software, said in an interview. The startup had raised between $50 million and $65 million in funding (based on figures from Crunchbase and PitchBook), and PitchBook last estimated its valuation at just over $103 million in 2016. Backers of the startup included the energy giant E.ON, Novus Energy Partners, Zouk Capital and more.

If you’re not familiar, beacons are low-energy battery-friendly hardware that use Bluetooth to transmit data. Since Bluetooth connections have a much smaller range public Wi-Fi and work indoors unlike GPS, it allows retailers, developers and companies to precisely pinpoint the user’s location and send relevant information based on where consumers currently are.

As more technology invades US police departments, that’s what Yardarm is banking on. The 10-person Capitola, CA-based startup makes a tiny piece of hardware police officers snap into the back of their guns that contains an industrial-grade accelerometer and a magnetometer. The device is able to track the location of the gun, whether the gun is holstered or not, when it’s loaded and when it’s fired. The company is also working on being able to tell which direction the gun is pointed.

Wenn alles miteinander vernetzt ist, kann auch alles gehackt werden“ – mit deutlichen Worten beschrieb Ursula von der Leyen die Herausforderungen und den Stand der IT-Sicherheit im Internet der Dinge. Im Angesicht der steigenden Cyberangriffe im Jahr 2021, ruft die Kommissionspräsidentin die Mitgliedstaaten zum gemeinsamen Handeln auf: von der Leyen kündigt den Entwurf eines neuen Gesetzes an, mit dem Ziel die Security-Lage zu verbessern und eine einheitliche Europäische Cybersicherheitspolitik zu formulieren.
Der für den Binnenmarkt zuständige EU-Kommissar Thierry Breton kommentierte die Ankündigung der Kommission und skizziert die Ziele des neuen Gesetzes. Laut Breton zielt das neue Gesetz auf vier Handlungsfelder: der Prävention durch verbesserte Schutzmechanismen und einheitlichen Cybersicherheitsstandards, Maßnahmen zur Früherkennung von Angriffen und Schwachstellen, eine einheitliche europäische Verteidigungspolitik gegen Cyberangriffe und eine Doktrin der Abschreckung.

Mit LoRa, 4G und bald 5G ergeben sich verschiedene Möglichkeiten für die Vernetzung von Maschinen für Industrie-4.0-Strategien. Durch die Kombination der Übertragungstechniken können Anwender quasi "IoT überall und total" erleben.
Das Internet der Dinge bildet die Kommunikationsbasis für die Verbindung zwischen Geräten und Maschinen, genannt "Machine-to-Machine (M2M) Communication". Sowohl die Internet-of-Things- (IoT) als auch die M2M-Entwicklung laufen seit vielen Jahren eher im Hintergrund ab und standen bisher kaum im Fokus der Öffentlichkeit. Auch die Idee zur Verbindung von Maschinen, um Daten und Informationen auszutauschen, ist längst in der Praxis umgesetzt. In Zügen, Lastwagen oder Autos kommunizieren bereits seit längerer Zeit verschiedene Sensoren über lokale Datenleitungen bzw. Datenbusse untereinander und/oder mit einer zentralen Steuerung.
Weil feste Datenleitungen besonders in Produktionsanlagen unflexibel und teuer sind, rücken nun mobile Netze für das Industrial IoT in den Fokus. WLANs kommen für industrielle Anwendungen kaum infrage, da sie in lizenzfreien und daher öffentlich zugänglichen Frequenzbereichen (2,4 und 5 GHz) funken. Hier sind weder Bandbreiten oder Sicherheit noch Qualität garantiert - im Gegensatz zu 4G- oder 5G-Netzen: Entsprechende Sender lassen sich gebäudeintern schnell auf- und abbauen oder um zusätzliche Kapazitäten erweitern und funktionieren ähnlich wie ihre Pendants auf öffentlichem Grund.

Pour que les avantages de l'Internet des Objets soit réels, le nombre d'objets connectés doit croître encore. Et la limite de l'expansion du nombre d'objets connectés repose à ce jour sur le coût, la puissance et la taille de l'électronique embarquée.
Des chercheurs de l'Université Purdue et de l'Université de Virginie aux Etats-Unis viennent de proposer une technique qui permet de baisser ces coûts. Pour ce faire, ils ont développé une nouvelle méthode de fabrication de circuits ultra-minces destiné à être collé sur des objets jusqu'alors non-connectés.
Un processus qui élimine non seulement un certain nombre d'étapes de fabrication, réduisant ainsi le coût, mais pourrait faire en sorte que presque n'importe quel objet peut agir comme un capteur. Bien sûr, les matériaux électroniques qui peuvent être disposés et fonctionner sur un film plastique ne sont pas nouveaux. Mais ce procédé d'impression par transfert, utilisant des combinaisons de nanomatériaux actifs, constitue un pas en avant, tant sur le plan technologique qu'écologique.

With the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) era, strong demand has grown for wearable and transparent displays that can be applied to various fields such as augmented reality (AR) and skin-like thin flexible devices. However, previous flexible transparent displays have posed real challenges to overcome, which are, among others, poor transparency and low electrical performance. To improve the transparency and performance, past research efforts have tried to use inorganic-based electronics, but the fundamental thermal instabilities of plastic substrates have hampered the high temperature process, an essential step necessary for the fabrication of high performance electronic devices.
