Listen to the podcast to find...

You can find stories of the positive impacts of enhanced connectivity anywhere. The work of eWATERservices — installing safe, affordable and accessible water systems in communities across sub-Saharan Africa — is a great example of IoT’s power to meaningfully shape people’s lives. eWATERservices Chief Operations Officer James Kay talks about the immense challenges some people face every day to get what many typically take for granted: clean water. James dives into:  Why the traditional...

While 2023 was all about the device for the IoT industry, 2024 is already shaping up to emphasize the device even more than before. The overarching theme of Eseye’s predictions for 2023 was how mobile network operators (MNOs) were finally going to cede control of IoT connectivity to enterprises. The predictions didn’t quite play out as expected, but they were fairly accurate: The MNO lock was finally broken, but the driver was the eSim rather than the hyperscaler threat. There’s more...

Introducing Amazon Key for Business: a smart fob that enables drivers to easily access multi-unit buildings and gated communities to deliver Amazon orders. The 41st episode of the IoT Leaders Podcast...

It turns out that big mobile network players can learn a lot from the airline industry. These two seemingly disparate industries actually have more in common than might appear at first glance. It is one of several topics discussed on our 40th special edition of IoT Leaders, which brings together Eseye’s two Founders Ian Marsden and Paul Marshall to discuss the global IoT connectivity challenges they set out to solve when they started Eseye. The show explores: Eseye’s founding story from...

What's the winning recipe to successful smart cities? People want safety, security, and convenience. If city managers can provide all three, they keep people happy. But what if we can take smart city management one step further? In this episode of IoT Leaders, David Ly, the Chairman and CEO of AI-driven video and IoT sensor solution company Iveda dives into the latest developments making smart cities an imminent reality. The show explores: The lessons learned on a long journey from refugee...

In the United States, you deal with three operators: AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile. In Africa? Try more than 100. But the fact that Africa is such a different landscape to the US and European markets is the very key to why tracking, telematics, and IoT company Online Solutions has risen as a leader in the space. Founder and Director Francesco Manis joins the IoT Leaders podcast to share how solving problems outside so-called “mature” economies has led to quicker growth and success. The show...

It is disheartening, but true: 84% find that hardware design is the number one barrier to IoT deployments. Why? Simply put: it’s all about the device. If connectivity isn’t built into the device from the outset, and instead jammed in at the end, it won’t work. Transforma Insights Founding Partner Matt Hatton and Eseye SVP Strategy & Alliances Larry Socher both join Nick Earle on the IoT Leaders podcast to share insight on why the IoT industry remains behind the curve on solving...

When you’re facing a $500 billion problem, you need an urgent solution. Bovine respiratory disease (BRD) is the biggest cattle issue in the agricultural industry. What makes it so difficult to solve is that it’s based on multiple bacteria and viruses. But that doesn’t stop Brad White, a veterinarian, Kansas State University professor, and partner at Precision Animal Solutions, from tackling the problem head on. Brad joins the IoT Leaders podcast to dive into: - How tackling the problem...

At any given moment, billions of dollars of products are moving around the world  — but information about the exact location of merchandise remains largely unknown. IoT tracking solution company t42 is on a mission to change that.  Companies need to know what’s happening to products and if they’re being tampered with, at all times during transportation. This knowledge could ultimately save hundreds of millions of dollars in losses. Whether it’s on sea, land, or in the air, the right asset...

CTO, Milan Shah explains how the combination of IoT, artificial intelligence, and machine learning is enabling clinicians to interpret patient’s biometric data and identify earlier...

Railway systems are one of the oldest and most established means of transportation, dating back more than 200 years. Even though the fundamentals of the railway system have remained largely unchanged during that time, IoT is helping this industry to navigate today's biggest challenge: climate change. IoT assists with environmental monitoring and can even predict and prevent accidents before they occur. Declan O’Brien wanted his company, TrenTrace, to make environmental monitoring easier and...

IoT isn’t competitive in the same way other industries are. It’s more important for different companies to work in partnership than go up against one another. Nassia Skoulikariti, Founder of Apiro Data and Director of IoT at Mobile Ecosystem Forum, is an expert in all things IoT. Nassia knows that one size doesn’t fit all when it comes to IoT. Different businesses work together to fit every customer’s unique needs, which creates a mindset of partnership rather than competition. In this...

Convenience retail is slowly outpacing fuel sales at gas stations. Gasoline is no longer the main draw for customers; instead, they’re looking for a brand experience.
