How will 5G impact IoT?

Posted by: admin Posted on: June 5, 2019

Year 2020 will be a key date for the deployment of the fifth generation of mobile networks, the 5G, whose capabilities promise to change the way we understand the Internet today. But 5G is much more than just fast downloads; its unique combination of high-speed connectivity, very low latency, and ubiquitous coverage will support smart vehicles and transport infrastructure such as connected cars, trucks, and buses.

All this will facilitate the implementation of the internet of things. By increasing the number of devices that can be managed in real time and remotely, as well as the response time of the network, the capabilities of multiple industrial applications will be revolutionized. In this way, 5G will have a key role to play- not just in the evolution of communication but in the evolution of businesses and society as a whole. Here is a look at a few industries where 5G and IoT together can benefit:

Self-driving cars.
Healthcare.
Logistics.
Smart cities.
Retail.

3 Resources for the Smart Classroom

Posted by: admin Posted on: June 5, 2019

Using IoT to collect data and increase classroom interactivity can make learning more interesting for students and help teachers manage them. @iotforall https://www.iotforall.com/

Voice Assistants like Alexa and Siri definitely have a place in the classroom. As the market for voice assistants continues to grow, more and more applications will be built for voice to supplement the classroom experience. Even in their current state, voice assistants can provide immense value to classrooms. Take a simple use case, such as a teacher setting a reminder to discuss higher-level lesson points the following week. Often times, teachers may not find the time or even remember to review difficult material, so using voice assistants to set reminders in real time can greatly enhance the classroom processes and therefore help students to learn more and continue to build their knowledge base.

Connected whiteboards or smartboards are another great tool to make a classroom “smart.” Now, anything a teacher writes up on the board can be recorded. Another resource for the smat classroom is the digital textbook. Besides the obvious value behind these textbooks—easier to carry from class to class, less space, more cost-effective and environmentally friendly—digital textbooks are also interactive and thus can connect to a smart classroom.

Students can highlight information and collaborate on difficult sections in textbooks, an individual student’s textbook and notes can connect to a classroom’s smart board to be shared with the class.

The “Things” in the Internet of Things (IoT)

Posted by: admin Posted on: May 24, 2019

The “things” that make up the emerging “Internet of Things” range from tractors to thermostats to shipping containers. The internet changed the world when we brought computers online and then again with the dawn of smartphones. Imagine what’s possible when the other 99 percent of objects that pervade our everyday life are connected?

You may be familiar with how the internet works. And you’ve probably heard of how the “Internet of Things,” or “IoT,” is igniting the next industrial revolution. But you may be wondering, what do “things” represent in the Internet of Things? What makes these “things” different from, say, a computer or a smartphone that connects to the internet?

IoT for Healthcare: Our Bodies as “Things” connected to the Internet
IoT for Logistics: Packages and Containers As “Things” Connected to the Internet
IoT for Agriculture: “Things” as Tractors, Soil Sensors and Irrigation Systems
