SGP.32 looms large over the cellular IoT landscape

Anyone associated with cellular-based IoT connectivity cannot help but have noted the extensive discussions for the last couple of years about the arrival of the SGP.32 ‘IoT’ remote SIM provisioning standard, improving on the former SGP.02 ‘M2M’ and SGP.22 ‘Consumer’ variants. With the final finishing touches being put to the certification aspects, the standard is now effectively with us. In this blog post we explore some of the key implications of the arrival of SGP.32 on the commercial landscape for cellular connectivity for IoT.

Smart rail: IoT revolutionising sustainable mobility

In an era where sustainability is no longer optional but essential, the integration of disruptive digital technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT) into rail transport presents a transformative opportunity. While in the context of sustainable modes of transportation, railway is generally considered more eco-friendly than road or air transport, adding IoT further reduces environmental impact, optimises energy use, and streamlines operations, thereby enhancing customer satisfaction as well. But how exactly can IoT be applied to rail transport? In this blog, we explore the ways IoT enables more sustainable rail transport and why it should be the focus of countries that are trying to expand or optimise their railway infrastructure.

Agentic AI: the evolution of intelligent automation

According to a survey by Salesforce, generative AI is being used by 73% of the Indian population, 49% of the Australian population, 45% of the US population, and 29% of the UK population. So, what comes next? It’s agentic AI. This blog defines agentic AI, explains how it is different from generative AI, examines current adoption trends, and charts the challenges that may hamper the adoption of agentic AI. Still, there is much more to discover in our recent report: Agentic AI: next generation AI that works autonomously.
