In 2026, the NB-IoT vs. LoRaWAN showdown defines the IoT landscape. NB-IoT, backed by 3GPP, uses licensed cellular bands for high reliability and deep indoor penetration—ideal for smart meters. Conversely, LoRaWAN offers an open, unlicensed model, empowering users to build private, low-cost networks in remote areas. While NB-IoT excels in urban QoS, LoRaWAN leads in battery longevity and autonomy. Choosing between them is a strategic balance of cost, scale, and connectivity.

In today’s fast-paced industrial world, keeping track of valuable assets is more important than ever. Efficient asset monitoring helps businesses reduce losses, improve maintenance schedules, and optimize operations. One technology that has been gaining significant traction in this area is Narrowband Internet of Things, or NB IoT. This technology offers a reliable, low-power, and cost-effective way to monitor assets remotely, even in challenging environments. NB IoT asset mon

How edge computing on LPWAN devices extends the battery life by a factor of 4

Choosing between LoRaWAN and NB-IoT for industrial monitoring is one of the most important design decisions in any Industrial IoT deployment. This article compares both LPWAN technologies across coverage, power consumption, network ownership, deployment cost, battery life, and real-world use cases in water infrastructure, utilities, HVAC, and remote asset monitoring.

Light Density Monitoring… under the ocean.

Differential pressure is a simple signal with outsized value: it reveals clogging filters, airflow imbalance, duct leakage, fan performance drift, and containment failures before they become costly downtime. In this article, I break down the top 20 industrial monitoring applications for the Ellenex PDT2—spanning HVAC and IAQ, data centers, cleanrooms, process vessels, pipelines, and facility operations. If you’re building a predictive maintenance program or modernizing instru

Excerpt (for LinkedIn / article preview) Choosing between NB-IoT and Cat-M1 (LTE-M) in the US market isn’t a spec-sheet exercise—it’s a lifecycle business decision. The right choice affects battery replacement cycles, OTA firmware strategy, field maintenance costs, coverage risk by region, and whether your product can scale from a low-data pilot to a nationwide deployment. This article breaks down the technical differences that actually move ROI—mobility, payload headroom, la

California's water infrastructure is older than my grandpa! LPWAN solutions Enhance Infrastructure Performance, if designed properly, integrate to the legacy systems carefully and deployed in consideration of current and future requirements.

Unlock the power of Cloud-Based Calibration Management for Industrial IoT. This guide explores how water utilities, mining, and smart cities are replacing costly field visits with remote, API-driven sensor adjustments. Learn how AI-driven drift detection, OTA offset scaling, and blockchain-backed traceability ensure peak data integrity for LPWAN devices. Reduce downtime, automate compliance, and scale your IIoT infrastructure with next-gen, future-proof calibration solutions.

Replacing AHU filters on a fixed schedule is simple—but it often wastes money or misses the moment performance starts to drop. Wireless differential pressure sensors solve this by continuously measuring the pressure drop across the filter, revealing clogging trends, efficiency losses, and the true end-of-life point. In this guide, we cover how differential pressure data supports condition-based maintenance, reduces energy waste, and improves indoor air quality—while enabling
