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?
If countries make the wrong choice of wireless standard, it could signal pay day for the patent trolls…
Personalised Smart Energy Displays for Christmas? Yes please, Santa.
And if one wireless standard should accidentally fall… (Although in the Smart Energy world they’re at greater risk of being pushed.)
It’s the start of everything around you being able to tell you something. We really are about to create the Internet of Things…
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…?
If you can’t win, take their name away instead. ZigBee patents Smart Energy…
If you think you’ve got a data overload problem, shed a tear for the mHealth and Smart Energy industries.
Can I hack it? Yes I can.
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, energy and transport apply pressure to use wireless more intelligently for consumer health devices, smart metering and telematics. These are my views on the subject - please let me know yours.
