IoT Signals: a comprehensive IoT research study
Microsoft created the IoT Signals series of reports to give the industry a holistic view of the IoT ecosystem providing insight into adoption rates as well as benefits and challenges. The goal of these reports is to better serve our partners and customers, as well as help business leaders develop their own IoT strategies, and to provide the most up to date research on IoT use across countries and industries.
Quantum impact: Energy and utilities
With a multi-directional smart grid, it will become increasingly important to manage load balancing in local nodes to avoid energy loss from sending power generated at the edge of the grid back to the high-level grid. This use case is a prime area of focus for quantum optimization: How can we efficiently determine the best schedule for resources and run these computations at a timescale that’s most relevant to the problem? And longer term, how can we actually control those resources in a coordinated fashion, being responsive to variability in both demand and supply within the power grid?
Furukawa chooses Quectel LTE and NB-IoT modules for agribusiness and utilities customers in Brazil
Furukawa Electric LatAm, part of one of Japan’s largest industrial groups, has selected Quectel Wireless Solutions to provide IoT modules that enable stable, secure, long-range connectivity for devices in the utilities and agribusiness markets in Brazil. The company chose Quectel’s EC25-AU LTE and BG96 Mini PCIe Cat-M1 communication modems to enable radio access technology (RAT) functionality for Furukawa’s solution access terminals.
Enabling Remote Access Monitoring in the Oil and Gas Industry
Implementing a remote asset monitoring solution can be challenging, but for companies in the oil and gas sector, monitoring systems are an essential part of day-to-day business. An e ective solution for monitoring remote assets ensures that all systems can be constantly reviewed, updated for e ciency, and continuously tracked for performance. There is no room for downtime and the monitoring solution must be foolproof.
Taking Control of the Future Electric Grid Today
Through the family of power regulation products, Gridco Systems sets the
