IoT Now Magazine (ISSN 2397-2807) explores the evolving opportunities and challenges facing CSPs across this sector. Our exclusive interviews pass on the key lessons learned by industry leaders in next gen Machine-to-Machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT) services.
In this issue:
- TALKING HEADS: Taoglas’s joint CEO and founder, Ronan Quinlan, on the business of antenna design
- INTERVIEW: Charles Kreite of Wyless on Parallel Networking for enhanced security
- EXPERT OPINION: Guy Daniels on how different antennas work with different IoT application cases
- IoT Now ANALYST REPORT – IoT SECURITY: In this edition’s independent Analyst Report, Laura DiDio, director enterprise IoT and analytics at Strategy Analytics explores our growing vulnerability in healthcare and automotive

You don’t have to be paranoid to work in the IoT – but it might just help….
This is the time of year when, at least in the Northern hemisphere, the nights close in, curtains are drawn, fires stoked and, traditionally, ghost stories get told. Without wanting to make our readers’ flesh creep any more than is absolutely necessary, we have chosen to focus on security this issue as one of the potentially darker sides of the IoT’s visionary promise. To lighten those hovering clouds, we’ve included a profile of the newly formed IoT Security Foundation, a round-up of some of the IoT security research currently underway at UK universities, as well as insights from Strategy Analytics and others such as the PCHA on the security challenges ahead and the ways in which we can protect ourselves and our customers.
And, just so the ‘things’ themselves don’t feel left out, we’ve taken a slightly sideways look at their own needs and how they might have a Maslow hierarchy of their own in a thought-provoking piece from Greenwave Systems. We’ve also given a nod to the inevitable shifting of seasons in another way, finally changing our name to IoT Now – as M2M was starting to sound a little too early 21st century to both our ears and those of our readers. Additionally, we’ve launched our new industry portal – www.iotglobalnetwork.com – and that’s already drawing thousands of readers, all keen to learn more about companies, products, services and devices as well as best practice insight across what’s an increasingly diverse and multifaceted terrain.
Finally, you’ll notice that we’ve added a separate supplement to this issue – this time on Low Power Wide Area (LPWA) networks. Whatever the technology or acronym – LTEM, LoRa, SIGFOX, RPMA, GSM-EC, NB-IoT – LPWA looks like being one of the most positive and disruptive forces to impact the IoT sector for years. Hitting the sector’s sweet spot in a number of different ways, LPWA networks are already being rolled out around the world and, in turn, are also driving considerable activity in supporting parts of the ecosystem such as sensors and devices. This is a topic we’re already looking forward to returning to in depth in 2016.
