This is it! All good things must come to an end. Listen to the First Things First series wrap-up as we highlight IoT stories from some of our favorite guests. The FTF team is very grateful for all the support and we hope that you enjoyed our show. Even though the podcast is ending, we’re happy to keep the conversation going via our different social media channels. We look forward to hearing your IoT stories.

Millions of new LPWA devices will require their own data plans, just like your cellphone. How can these all be managed at once? Telit IoT expert Alon Segal discusses exactly what features enterprises should expect from their connectivity provider in order to manage these devices.

LPWA cellular technologies will enable enterprises to connect hundreds of thousands or millions of devices in a low-cost and efficient manner. But with millions of new devices comes millions of new potentially vulnerable endpoints. Telit IoT expert Alon Segal discusses why pre-provisioned and customized cellular IoT modules at the point of manufacture are necessary to secure the ‘leading edge’ of enterprise innovation in the IoT.

Telit IoT expert Martino Turcato tell us what an intelligent module is, and why it is the next natural step for the cellular IoT industry and its customers.

In the world of virtual SIMs, onboarding can be accomplished in a completely digital, zero-touch manner. Telit IoT expert Martino Turcato discusses the implications of such potentially simple IoT operations.

As of 2019, 5G networks are already functioning in select locales. Telit IoT Expert Martino Turcato explores the surprising link between 4G LPWA networks and 5G networks, and how LPWA fits into a 5G strategy that may start deploying a few years from now.

The creation of the Firstnet public-safety dedicated LTE cellular network is certainly a step in the right direction in terms of giving emergency responders the communication priority they need to do their jobs well. Telit IoT expert Ken Bednasz discusses some innovative FirstNet enabled drone control technologies that require FAA approval before they are legal to operate.

The 3G sunset will affect millions of IoT devices. Obviously, 3G devices themselves will cease to communicate – but did you know, in some cases, 4G devices may be affected too? Telit IoT expert Ken Bednasz talks about how 4G devices released before the advent of Voice Over LTE (VoLTE) will lose their voice communication capabilities.

Since its inception, cellular IoT deployments have had to adapt to life on cellular-phone specialized 2G, 3G, and early-generation 4G networks. All that has changed with the deployment of the 4G low-power wide-area (LPWA) networks of Cat-M and Cat-NB.

Longer battery life, efficient and safe IoT communication, and more; Telit IoT expert Ken Bednasz explores what exciting new aspects enterprises can expect with cellular IoT on LPWA networks.

While cellular IoT modules might share a similar and look, doesn’t mean they’re all the same. Inside is a complicated network of hardware and software enabling the ‘frontline’ of your enterprise – whether that in a smart home, smart agriculture sensor, or smart fleet.

Listen to IoT Expert Ken Bednasz explain when looking at a module vendor (versus your own embedded solution or a ready-made one) is right, and what you should be looking for if you want to be confident in your deployment – and who
