• IoT devices are designed to collect data — edge AI is making them think

  For most of its existence, the IoT device has had one job: collect data and send it somewhere else to be understood. That model is under pressure from two directions at once, and the response from the industry is becoming hard to ignore. Edge AI IoT devices–ones that process and act on data locally rather than routing it to the cloud–are moving from […]

• Scaling edge AI deployments on industrial IoT platforms

  Getting edge AI running across industrial IoT platforms often stalls as many projects hit bottlenecks when scaling their pilot deployments. Transitioning to real-time on-device intelligence typically bogs down because developers get caught up in low-level system integration, dealing with custom Linux builds and complex AI configurations. These delays hurt return on investment and keep pilot […]

• Memory prices are soaring, and RISC-V IoT devices are starting to look like the smarter bet

  The case for RISC-V IoT devices was once ideological. Open-source architecture, no licensing fees, freedom from ARM’s royalty structure. It was a compelling pitch, but largely an abstract one for most IoT product teams working within established supply chains. That conversation has changed considerably in 2026, and the reason is not philosophical. It is financial. […]

• Iridium just killed the multi-component IoT stack with one 16mm module

  Building a device that works everywhere has always come with a hidden tax: extra components, extra board space, extra complexity, and a bill of materials that quietly kills the economics of scale. For IoT developers targeting use cases beyond terrestrial coverage, that tax has been particularly punishing–until now.  Iridium Communications recently unveiled the 9604, a satellite IoT […]

• MWC 2026: Nordic Semiconductor’s most ambitious low-power cellular IoT portfolio yet

  If there’s one thing MWC 2026 has made clear, it’s that the race to make low-power cellular IoT smarter, smaller, and more connected is no longer a slow burn–it’s a sprint. And Nordic Semiconductor showed up in Barcelona with what may be its most consequential product announcement in years: two entirely new chip series, a major refresh […]
