Cellular companies, startups square off over 5G and the IoT
Fierce Wireless – January 6, 2016 – The emergence of the Internet of Things is pitting incumbent mobile network operators and infrastructure vendors against a small army of upstarts hoping to leverage newer, alternative technologies and business models created specifically for M2M and other non-consumer use cases. And that conflict was on display at FierceWireless‘s panel on 5G and the IoT this morning. Read More>>


Automation World – January 6, 2016 – If there’s something that Texas has plenty of, it’s remote, open spaces—not always easy to reach with modern communication networks. What Texas also has more than its share of are oil wells. Those oil and gas exploration companies face a growing need to embrace the Internet of Things (IoT); to better network their assets and leverage the data made available through smart instruments. 
OffComm News – January 6, 2016 – Ingenu and WellAware are working to expand the Machine Network™ to enable 55,000 square miles of connectivity in the greater Texas area, providing coverage for the most active US oil and gas fields (some 50% of total US production). Ideally paired, Ingenu delivers connectivity to machines and WellAware provides oilfield production monitoring and optimization. The new network will be able to scale to include future IoT and M2M devices without the need for further investment.  
Wireless Week – December 28, 2015 – Wireless Week has assembled top technology leaders to provide their thoughts on what trends the wireless technology industry should expect in 2016.  
Voice of America – December 18, 2015 – When desktops ruled, upgrading individual computer parts instead of buying a new machine was probably the closest users ever got to having a modular PC with interchangeable parts. But in today’s mobile-driven, disposable-tech world, the only way to upgrade a smartphone is to buy a new one.  “We’ve created an environment where it’s just so much easier to just trash something and then start over,” said 
IoT Now – December 15, 2015 – It’s that time again, when our contributors dust off their crystal ball, say Ommm, and take a view of the year ahead and IoT’s longer term future. In the coming days we will bring you their words of wisdom and experience, starting with John Horn, CEO of US-based Ingenu.  Ingenu is building a ‘Machine Network’ designed specifically to meet the demand for connectivity from machine-to-machine (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT) devices. As Jeremy Cowan reports, Ingenu’s John Horn, an industry veteran of T-Mobile, RacoWireless, has firm views on what’s working — and what’s not — in the IoT.   
IT Pro Portal – December 14, 2015 –  We live in a world where technology is advancing at breakneck speeds. Our latest and greatest products seem to have shorter-than-ever life cycles, and every upgrade comes with a higher price tag and more bells and whistles than we know what to do with.  
Wall Street Journal – December 10, 2015 – Cellular and Wi-Fi networks are good for connecting smartphones, tablets and laptops. But different technology may be needed when things such as parking meters and vending machines need to communicate.  
With decades of experience connecting the world and a membership that includes all major technology and service providers, 3GPP should be the default provider of IoT connectivity. But the 3GPP membership is failing the industry by forgetting the fundamentals that made it a success in the first place — providing one universal technology.
