![]() ![]() Our guest this week is Michelle Mindala-Freeman, who is the head of marketing and member services at the Connectivity Standards Alliance. Mycroft’s Mark II next-generation open-source smart speaker won’t ship to Kickstarter backers. Finally, we answer a listener question about upgrading his router and cleaning up his smart home. And if you’re more into working out and connected fitness, Tonal is looking for cash. For listeners who are interested in energy-harvesting sensors, there’s an upcoming campaign for an open source board from Riotee that will provide solar-power sensing and Bluetooth. Arlo has extended that date, and will continue to offer free 7-day cloud storage to existing customers. There’s good news, however, for Arlo customers who were set to see the end of life for some of their cameras in 2024. Mycroft.ai is ceasing development of its open-source voice platform, and in addition, will not be shipping voice assistants to Kickstarter backers. For those who were hoping for an open source voice assistant, I have bad news. Then we offer a preview of a new wireless technology for so-called massive IoT that will be on display from Wirepas at Mobile World Congress later this month. Also on difficult things, we discuss the challenges of securing the industrial IoT thanks to a new report from Dragos. Then we discuss some of the challenges that people face trying to use Matter devices across multiple platforms. This week’s show starts off with news from the Connectivity Standards Alliance as Kevin and I talk about the new Health and Wellness Working Group. What does Qualcomm Aware mean for other cloud providers?.Why Qualcomm has decided to launch an IoT cloud. ![]() Connectivity is still too hard for the IoT.The CSA has launched a group to bring privacy to the IoT.Hosts: Stacey Higginbotham and Kevin Tofel He also describes how two of Qualcomm’s prior acquisitions will fit within this cloud offering. Ansari explains why Qualcomm has chosen to build a cloud and why he thinks that customers will use it (even though chip firms have not historically had success launching software or service businesses). The Aware platform is designed to be a cloud-based IoT service that ties into Qualcomm’s chips to provide telemetry, device management and services such as precise positioning and optimizing the network connection based on the quality of local network options. He’s on the show to talk about the new Qualcomm Aware platform that the chip maker announced this week. Our guest this week is Mohammed Ansari, senior director of business development of 5G and IoT at Qualcomm. The latest survey from the Eclipse Foundation shows that IoT deployments are approaching greater scale. Finally, we answer a listener question about how Matter will affect cloud connections. There’s a new smart button from Soracom and Unabiz that uses LTE Cat-M and also a refresh for Samsung’s Bixby voice assistant. In smaller news we discuss a new product designed to track the use of open source software in IoT products and the importance of software bills of material thanks to new data from Synopsys. We also discuss a new survey from the Eclipse Foundation focused on enterprise IoT and edge computing adoption. Location tracking, especially at a few meters or centimeters, will be a big topic at the Mobile World Congress event next week, starting with news of a new Qualcomm Aware cloud platform for the IoT and Nokia and Bosch trying out centimeter-level accuracy. Also in privacy news, Tile has released a new anti-stalking feature that requires users to register their tags and fines them if they use it for bad behavior. The Connectivity Standards Alliance is back in the news this week with the launch of a new working group focused on data privacy, which we’re super pumped about. ![]()
