View Now>> These IoT networks are 'unapologetically slow' While the International CES this week emphasized home networks and LTE-equipped cars, a different kind of network that can send tiny messages across a city crept toward a future that some people think may be huge.The concept is low-power, wide-area networks (LPWANs), which make up for extremely low data rates by going farther than a cellular signal and working in tiny devices that can last months on a small battery. They won't carry TV shows or virtual reality games, but they may help to grease the wheels of global commerce and government. Some wearables may get in on the act, too.LPWAN is designed primarily for M2M (machine-to-machine) networking, which is already widely used for things like tracking assets, monitoring industrial equipment and collecting data from smart meters. While a lot of those tasks are handled by cellular radios today, LPWAN will be the dominant form of wide-area wireless for M2M by 2022, according to Jim Morrish, chief research officer at Machina Research.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More   Advanced notice of Microsoft Patch Tuesday fixes is no longer free From now on if you want to see what patches Microsoft is going to issue on Patch Tuesday you'll have to pay for it.The company's Advanced Notification Service - the Thursday postings that thumbnailed the security bulletins the company would issue on Patch Tuesday – will only be available to Premier customers.
