Sigfox’s CEO, Jeremy Prince says small can be beautiful; you don’t need to build a motorway to ride a bicycle. His company has invested €300 million in a decade rolling out a 72-country network, but in telco network terms that’s loose change. The market has matured since 2010, says Sigfox’s deputy CEO, Franck Siegel. They tell Jeremy Cowan and the Trending Tech podcast they’ve seen a “huge ramp up” in the number of Sigfox connected devices from 2 million in 2017 to 18 million now. Customers no longer ask for proofs of concept, they know it works. The market potential is huge, says Prince. “The analysts will be wrong again, but this time it will be bigger than they predict.”

President Biden has signed an Executive Order on cybersecurity as the latest US step to improve IoT security by introducing cybersecurity labelling for consumer products. The Trending Tech Podcast hears from Steve Hanna of Infineon that the race to the bottom in cybersecurity is ending as governments worldwide are following new standards. Meanwhile, Gartner says 75% of enterprise data is expected to be created and processed at the Edge. But which Edge? George Malim and Jeremy Cowan wonder if telcos will profit from their Edge advantages. History suggests not. Maybe this time will be different!

(Sponsored News) The client is a subsidiary of a Fortune 500 company in Brazil, which is the world’s largest and most broadly-based healthcare company. To further improve the efficiency of cycle-counting and optimize the allocation of warehouse resources, the company decided to introduce barcode and UHF RFID technology for warehouse management.
Through a comprehensive comparison of the products of multiple terminal manufacturers, Chainway UHF Sled Reader R6 was chosen for highly efficient warehousing management. Workers used R6 to match iOS-based devices for a complete solution, to expand UHF RFID and barcode scanning for intelligent stock-taking. The solution allows long-range reading and reading a large number of goods at a time, helping users to significantly boost the efficiency of inventory management.
By attaching Chainway R6 UHF RFID Sled Reader to the existing device, workers can use powerful UHF functions without the need to purchase another PDA, which is easily deployed and saves costs. Furthermore, through the UHF function of R6, workers can perform a bulk reading of goods in the warehouse at a long distance, which significantly improves working efficiency.
In addition, the inventory data can be uploaded to the management system in real-time, which provides data support to make proper goods configuration plans and effectively avoids overstock and shortage of goods. And it enhances the efficiency of warehouse management, achieves the maximum use of resources, and reduces operational costs.
Compared with traditional handheld terminals or other forms of readers, Sled Reader is more flexible in practical applications. For example, the CHAINWAY R6 UHF Sled reader, which can support the use of consumer electronic products, and can easily turn mobile phones and tablets into RFID professional data collection equipment. The tag information read by R6 can be transferred to the smartphone via Bluetooth, and the operator can transfer the data to the database via the smartphone, which is more flexible and convenient. Compared with traditional readers, the investment in equipment and staff training can be reduced.

(Sponsored News) – The user is a cash escort company in Macedonia. To strengthen the intelligent management of cash transportation, optimize the transportation process, and ensure the efficiency and safety of escort, the company decided to use Chainway C75 smart printing handheld computers to manage the cash in transit process.
In the traditional cash-in-transit (CIT) process management, company management manually records, register and manage the crucial information of the cash box transportation process, which is inefficient, low-risk control and highly dependent on people. And the communication between banks and escort companies is more traditional, with low communication efficiency and poor linkage.
To solve the above problems, CHAINWAY company provides Chainway C75 smart handheld computers for Macedonian escorts. They use the Chainway C75 PDAs to fully automate and manage the CIT process, such as schedule tasks, scan shipments and organize teams, etc. They can also print the slips as proof of shipments receiving or dispatch by the CIT teams to make the escort company business processes safer, smarter, and more accurate.
The new system significantly improves the speed, efficiency, accuracy, integration of bank treasury handover information, the convenience of treasury management, and effectively reduces delays and data errors. And strengthen the real-time information exchange between the escort company and the bank, which is conducive to the real-time control of the entire business process by both parties and minimizes risks. Besides, the application of information technology has reduced the dependence of company management on people. It helps the company in managing and reducing human management costs.
