Hello readers!
Welcome to this week’s IoT For All newsletter! Today, we’re digging deep into the ways that 6 GHz Wi-Fi will change the healthcare industry, the crucial differences between proprietary and standards-based satellite networks, and the most important things to know about the various 5G frequency bands. Let’s dive in!
📖 Top Articles
Wi-Fi in 6 GHz is transforming healthcare in ways that will help reduce the current burden on clinical staff. Healthcare systems are experiencing staff shortages and looking for ways to improve efficiency while still providing best-in-class patient care. 6 GHz Wi-Fi, which includes Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7, provides increased bandwidth, capacity, and improved network efficiency to support a new era of healthcare by facilitating seamless transmission of large medical data files, enabling real-time patient monitoring and diagnostics, and delivering crucial telemedicine to users in remote locations.
 Late in 2024, the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) added a new Work Item to the plan for Release 19, the next set of global standards for cellular technology. This will enhance the NB-IoT protocol’s role in non-terrestrial networks (NTN). In other words, it should make using a cellular protocol to manage satellite communication easier. |  When 5G began deploying in 2019, it was touted as a revolutionary technology set to push the boundaries of performance on global connectivity. It promised to provide cheap, fast, ubiquitous connectivity by increasing connection over existing 4G services. Let's take a step back from the buzz and remind ourselves of the 5G spectrum and why there is hype surrounding the new bands. |

🎙️ The IoT For All Podcast
No new podcast this week. In case you missed last week’s episode, we spoke to Paul Savill, Global Practice Leader for Network and Edge Computing at Kyndryl, about taking IoT security seriously. The conversation covered the IT/OT divide, the challenges of IoT adoption, the security vulnerabilities of legacy infrastructure, the importance of strict security policies and training, the impact of new regulations, when it makes sense to have an in-house security team, strategies to enhance security posture, and advice for companies on staying up-to-date with the latest cybersecurity threats.
