The growing use of 5G technology, which lends cellular Internet of Things applications faster data transmission, reduced latency, and increased network capacity, is a notable trend. Furthermore, edge computing is gaining popularity since it enables data processing near Internet of Things devices, cutting down on latency and increasing productivity. The industry has witnessed a rise of integrated IoT platforms, which simplify deployment and operation by streamlining device management, data analytics, and connectivity.
For instance, in June 2022, Renesas Electronics Corporation announced two new cloud development kits, CK-RA6M5 and CK-RX65N, providing a complete connectivity solution for the RA and RX Families of 32-bit microcontrollers (MCUs). The cloud kits are the first to be equipped with Renesas’ RYZ014A Cat-M1 module, a certified LTE cellular module that offers the ability to establish wireless connection between MCUs and cloud services quickly and securely without a gateway.
There is a growing need for Internet of Things solutions that are secure by design, with strong authentication and encryption features to allay concerns about safety. In addition, vertically specific IoT solutions are becoming increasingly popular, meeting the particular needs of sectors like manufacturing, healthcare, and agriculture. Finally, alliances and cooperative efforts amongst IoT suppliers and network operators are becoming more prevalent, driving innovation and expanding market reach.
