Have you heard of Walter, the open source, ESP32-S3 based, cellular, GPS and WiFi/BLE module for IoT devices? Let’s talk WAN (Wide Area Network) connectivity for IoT. It’s a large pond with many different actors and options. When you want to connect your devices wirelessly you will need to look at your requirements closely to define the right compromise for your scenario in terms of energy consumption, range, resilience to interference, and more. Cellular is gaining in popularity thanks to NB-IoT and LTE-M making it possible to leverage existing, secure infrastructure already deployed worldwide by operators, but adding cellular connectivity to an embedded design can be tedious and long, unless there was a module offering an almost plug and play solution… Introducing Walter! Daan Pape, co-founder of DP Technics joins me on this new episode of the IoT Show to tell us all you need to know about their new connectivity module.

Yes, IoT development is hype, but what is it exactly, and why is it such a fascinating discipline? Ben Jacques from Spindance has an interesting perspective on this. He believes we are seeing the beginning of a 2d generation of IoT projects and solutions: the one that's about doing IoT right. Whether you are an embedded developer or you are considering starting a career in IoT, you will want to listen to this interesting conversation. Check out Spindance site at https://bit.ly/3xgh0LR

To implement robust Over the Air update for your IoT devices, not only do you need a platform to securely manage your update deployments at scale but you also need a connectivity solution. Wouldn’t it be great to have both integrated seamlessly? The good news is such integration exists. Eystein Stenberg, Co-Founder of Northern.tech, the company behind Mender.io, and Fabian Kochem, Global product strategic lead at 1NCE join me on the IoT Show to discuss a recently announced integration of their 2 solutions. As you’ll see in their demo, this integration takes care of critical aspects of modern IoT solutions, such as security or OAT at scale across geographies. A great episode with Savvy IoT professionals! Learn more about the integration at https://1nce.com/en-us/1nce-os/our-software-tools/firmware-over-the-air-management-fota-mender

Muhammad Afzal is a software engineer who discovered IoT while working on a smart agriculture project. He decided to share his learnings about IoT and more particularly about the Arduino IoT Cloud by authoring a book. Muhammad joined me on the IoT show to tell us how he came to use Arduino IoT Cloud, what he likes about it and how he’s using it. Get Muhammad’s book 👉 https://packt.link/p47Np

No, this is not yet another typical discussion about IoT security and how a hacker attacked a casino leveraging access to a smart fish tank connected to the enterprise network ... True story… We all get this part of the problem. And the good news is that governments have started regulating IoT systems security, but are you aware of the many laws and standards that are coming up or already in place? Do you realize the differences from one country to another one? Do you understand the implications for your IoT project? While this is yet another complex domain, there are solutions to help you navigate all that. Kevin Hilscher from DigiCert joins me on the IoT Show to discuss these new regulations, what you need to do to be compliant and how DigiCert can help with all that.
