E062 Omdia's Alexandra Rehak | Adoption Trends in the Enterprise IoT Landscape

IoT For All Podcast · 20 Apr 2020 · 44m

What this episode covers

Alexandra Rehak, IoT Practice Lead at Omdia, discusses enterprise IoT adoption trends based on a recent survey conducted with IoT World Today. She highlights that while 5G and AI are major interests, adoption is slower than predicted due to security concerns, a lack of internal expertise, and market fragmentation. Rehak explains that most deployments remain customized and costly, though business models are evolving toward 'as-a-service' and outcome-based contracts, with companies like Signify cited as examples. She also notes that the COVID-19 pandemic is accelerating telemedicine and supply chain visibility while delaying automotive sector investments.

    #014: Why Your IoT Project Still Hasn’t Taken Off — And How to Fix It

    Chris Coleman and Tyler from Memfault host Afzal Saleem, an IoT entrepreneur and former T-Mobile Netherlands startup lead, to discuss why IoT projects stall despite technical viability. They analyze organizational resistance, such as the Dutch railway case where internal job security fears blocked adoption, and the '500K SIM card' phenomenon where pilots fail to scale due to slow enterprise processes. The conversation highlights how giants like Google, Ericsson, and Cisco waste millions by skipping niche validation, contrasting this with successful niche strategies from companies like Golioth and Nordic Semiconductor. They argue that IoT must learn from AI's community-driven, fast-iteration go-to-market playbook to overcome fragmentation and e-waste risks from deprecated cloud services.

    IoT Trends: A Year in Review and 2023 Predictions with Rob Tiffany and Bill Flaherty

    Rob Tiffany, Founder of Sustainable Logix, and Bill Flaherty, Director of Hardware Engineering at Very, review 2022 IoT trends and predict 2023 developments. They discuss how the chip shortage forced a shift from locking in specific microcontrollers to using abstraction layers like Zephyr, and highlight the democratization of technology in Ukraine through commercial drones and Starlink. The guests argue that major IoT platform shutdowns (Ericsson, SAP, Google) signal a pivot toward vertical-specific solutions, while predicting that falling sensor prices, edge AI processors like the NXP i.MX 95, and the rise of generative AI will define the coming year.

    A Radical Change in the Business Model | Colin Has Had It With Your Promises | “The Great Influenza” of 1918

    Daniel Cooley, Chief Strategy Officer of Silicon Labs, explains that the electronics industry is undergoing a radical change as companies expand beyond their traditional domains, leading to a fusion of the technology stack from hardware to cloud. He highlights the growing importance of security in IoT devices, driven by legislation and the need to protect transactions on consumer-grade hardware. Colin Barnden, an automotive analyst, criticizes the automotive industry's overreliance on simulations for autonomous vehicles, arguing that the technology is not yet ready for mass deployment and that focus should remain on proven driver assistance systems. Author David Benjamin discusses the 1918 influenza pandemic, emphasizing the historical lessons of testing, tracing, and isolating, and the dangers of political obfuscation during health crises.
