Hello readers,

Welcome to the IoT For All weekly newsletter! 4G/LTE networks remain capable for many M2M use cases, but have notable limitations addressed by 5G, manufacturing has become the most cyberattacked industry, and IoT is revolutionizing disaster prevention!

📖 Top Articles

While 4G/LTE networks aren’t as fast as 5G connections, they can still download up to 20 megabits per second (Mbps), far more than you’d need for typical machine-to-machine communication. If you plan to deploy high-capability connected devices (telematics systems, automated factory equipment, smart city infrastructure, and more), these cellular technologies have a lot of advantages but a few notable limitations.

It’s no secret that downtime is manufacturing’s biggest nemesis. From the C-suite to the supply chain to the plant floor, everyone is working hard to keep lines up and running. Yet out in cyberspace, a Thanos-like threat lurks, ready to “snap” production if certain demands are unmet. According to IBM’s ​​X-Force Threat Intelligence Index, manufacturing was the most attacked industry in 2023. What cybersecurity measures should you consider?

Disasters can quickly impact the well-being of people and the planet. Sudden catastrophic incidents can result in human, environmental, and economic harm. But forewarned is forearmed. Disaster prevention systems can play a critical role in saving lives and mitigating economic losses. Increasingly, IoT technologies can provide vital early warnings of dangerous events or play a key role in managing the aftermath, thereby reducing further harm.
