Putting the Why? back into Wireless…
Does the Nokia & Microsoft Alliance portend a brave new world of smartphones or the demise of Finland?
Are we about to see a war between the wireless standards? Or is it all too much effort..?
Anyone who thinks that a standard is synonymous with interoperability is sadly mistaken. The difference is an investment of around $10 million and five years of hard work. How many standards organisations can afford that?
You may not be able to see wireless, but it was very much in evidence at the Medica show last week.
Don’t dismiss UWB. It’s not dead yet…
Everyone seems to agree that we need smart meters, but who will be the main beneficiary from their deployment? Could it be consultants and their retirement plans…?
Not everyone managed to make it to Seattle, but nothing as insignificant as a volcano was going to hold Bluetooth low energy down…

Creative Connectivity is Nick Hunn's blog on aspects and applications of wireless connectivity. Having worked with wireless for over twenty years I've seen the best and worst of it and despair at how little of its potential is exploited.
I hope that's about to change, as the demands of healthcare and transport apply pressure to use wireless more intelligently for consumer health devices and telematics. These are my views on the subject - please let me know yours.
