In this week’s episode, Bill, David, and Rob jump on Web3 to talk about how we would and could not be digital without first being analog. I think they talk about how the IoT is a ADAD environment. Lot’s of analog stuff working with digital stuff to measure and test real stuff. That’s how IoT keeps things real. The gang also talk about how experience gives us perspective on what is real. It matters and the crew talks about how it is delusional to discount the value of mentorship in bringing people up from their apprenticeship into a level of expertise, skill, and judgement in the field. Bill goes ballistic on the consulting game and what it takes to say no and save yourself the headache. Great ready to get real! Tune in! Like! Share!

In this week’s episode, Bill, David, Rob, and Marc jump on to Web3 for what happened to be the shortest IoT Coffee Talk episode EVER! It’s because Rob doesn’t have a Zoom subscription and he dropped Leonard’s paid session when we went for some coffee. It was the best discussion on open standards and interoperability that we have had in a very long time. We have standards for gasoline and mobile networks, but why not for IoT? Is it not important enough? Find out in this engaging episode before you slam the door on your foot!!! Don’t do it! BTW, we are down with OCPP, you know me! Tune in! Like! Share!

In this week’s episode, Andreea, Ryan, Steve, Rob, Leonard, Jan, and Marc jump on to Web3 to talk about the fabled generative AI productivity uplift. Where are we seeing it and where is it just not going to happen? Is quality of output important? If so, what does it take to get generative AI applications to deliver on pretty lofty expectations and perceptions of capability. Do we have enough eyeballs to lend value to the deluge of AI-generated content that is already here and will only get better and worse,... probably at the same time. Is MQTT in vogue again or are people making something old new again because they don’t know that it’s old. Also, watch Jan get really real and grumpy about GenAI. It’s pretty funny. Martin is going to be really upset with him. LOL! Tune in! Like! Share!

In this week’s episode, Andreea, David, Ryan, Bill, Leonard, Steve, Rob, and Marc jump on to Web3 joined by the illustrious Matt Hatton of Transforma Insights (who bravely enters the IoT House of Pain) to talk about making IoT less risky and insecure. Our collective proposition - take out some of the stupid IoT practices and situations that form at the cusp of collective ignorance (not a bad thing as long you are willing to learn and be enlightened) and negligence (both willful and unintended).

In this week’s episode, Wienke Giezeman, Leonard, Steve, Rob, and Marc jump on to Web3 with a Rebel Yell against techno tribalism which gets in the way of cross-technology innovation. Of course, we had to talk about LoRa and LoRaWAN with our good buddy, Wienke, joining us. How severe are the silos and the techno fandoms that deprive users from compelling possibilities if these barriers came down. Who in your organization can break these barriers down so that we can tap into the technological potential to advance business innovation. Tune in! Like! Share!

In this week’s episode, Bill, Stephanie, Ryan, Leonard, Rob, David, and Marc jump on to Web3 to celebrate IoT Coffee Talk’s 150th episode!! We delve into the topics of digital twin. Does it need to be a 3D model and exists in an immersive industrial metaverse or can it be simple and easy? Is ChatGPT and generative AI applications going to help us, or dilute us, our talent, and and our worth? Most importantly, will the folks at Google ever get the free massage services back again? If they do, will they have to go back to the office? More importantly, can IoT and digital twins save the commercial real estate market? Tune in! Like! Share!

This week, Rob, Leonard, Ryan, and David jump on the siloverse to talk about why RFPs are typically pretty lame, why buyers should make sure they have their act together when they put that RFP together lest they expose how little they know about what they want, to channel or not to channel, and are we over partnering to the point it means nothing? Will you be my channel partner. Will you be mine? Will you be mine? It’s another thought-bending one from IoT Coffee Talk! Check it out! Tune in! Like! Share!

This week, we had our largest group (Bill, Steve, Stephanie, Tom, David, Marc, Andreea, Rob, and Leonard) jump on the siloverse to talk about how rural connectivity has largely been all talk and little to speak about. With new spectrum and new options for connecting things out in the rural areas and the agricultural plains of the US and other regions, the economics don’t seem to work out. The biggest issue - backhaul. Do we need to connect to the cloud or will edge computing provide new options for bringing connected intelligence to the remote and rural.

This week a massive team (Stephanie, Tom, David, Marc, Andreea, Rob, and Leonard) jump on the siloverse joined by first-timer, Eric Simone, CEO of ClearBlade, to talk about mostly agriculture and how it was big at CES 2023, how it is increasingly capturing the techno spotlight, and how it is increasingly essential in saving farming for humanity and environment. We also touch on privacy and why we are told it doesn’t matter by folks who benefit from it not mattering, and the possibility of private farms becoming a thing because processed foods just don’t taste as good as produce and stuff in Europe.

Happy 2023, IoT Coffee Talk listeners! This week we are taping from Las Vegas. Rob and Leonard are attending CES 2023. This week Andreea, Bill, Rob, and Leonard, and David hop on to the siloverse to talk about resolutions, hopes, and aspirations for the new year. We talk about soul searches, job searches, self-discovery, and the broken promise of 5G and other hype technologies and hypes that came and died at CES in the past. We contemplate how digital transformation is hard and so easy to say, but you can actually do it wrong. Welcome to the Year of the Rabbit! We hope you have good fortune and have the luck of the bunny in 2023!

Steve, Andreea, and Leonard jump on the Zoom siloverse for the last episode of 2022 to talk about entrepreneurship, the fear and the challenges of going out on your own, and what it takes to discover a career and life beyond corporate, and getting the origin of Auld Lang Syne compleeeeetely wrong. We also find ourselves talking about forecasts again and how blindly believing them has proven time and time again to be detrimental to company, industry, person, and beyond. It seems like a persistent theme that won’t go away. With a reset of interest rates globally to sightly high be “normal” levels, nonsense no longer has a market. So, what do you do if you are caught in the middle going into 2023. Clarity is the key and a focus on value.

Steve, Marc, David, Rob, and Leonard jump on the Zoom siloverse for our THIRD Holiday episode! Amazing! Join us for some 5G catastrophic Christmas caroling that tests the limits of the Interwebs and light speed. We hit on a lot of interesting topics such as great Holiday comedy from the legends of SNL (Eddie Murphy (Trading Places) and Adam Sandler (The Hanukkah Song), Marc goes through the Tio legend and methodology and even does a demo, not once but twice! Will there be 6G? We opine on the future of events. Will MWC and CES be successes or duds? We also share our takes from 2022 and share some recommendations for 2023.

Marc, Bill, Rob, and Leonard jump on the Zoom siloverse to talk about Rob’s Waterworld strategy for saving humanity, or at least a few of us, as global warming threatens to shift populations as regions of our planet either get swallowed up by the oceans, or become perennial fire and drought zones. While billions if not trillions will be spent on traveling to Mars to create an option for humanity, what about the next frontier right on our planet? The oceans? We also talk about industry events and getting the most out of them. Why we need details (not high level diagrams) to make things happen. Why Industry 4.0 has lost its relevance. The Magic Quadrant, does it work for Industrial IoT? The gang considers creating an IoT Coffee Quadrant. Are you in? Happy birthday to Bill and Rob who are 26 years old this month! Amazing!!!!

We also chat about the big news this week, Ericsson spins its IoT Connect and connected car business off and selling it to Aeris Communications. It’s just one more big player shedding its IoT business or plain dropping it. What makes this deal different? We also hit on eSIM and the SIM retrofitting and replacement dilemma, replatforming platforms and more!

Steve, Bill, Rob, David, and ANOTHER STEVE! jump on the metaverse to swap about IoT stuff. Amazing discussion on thought-provoking questions such as, is IoT a hyperscaler gig? Did they get it all wrong (yes, they did. Rob and Leonard said so and friggin’ predicted os back in 2017 at IoT Solutions World Congress)? The gang talks about the need to train a network of SIs that can deliver end to end. Where are they? How do we scale IoT solution delivery? Tune in! Like! Share!

This week, Rob, Steve, Bill are in Austin for IoT World, Leonard is attending Honeywell’s Honeywell Connect 2022 in Orlando, and Marc and David join a distributed mashup chat about why words matter when talking about super hyped techno concepts and terms. We talk about what you get when you mix IoT with AI. It’s not what you think. We talk about the pitfalls of techno religious fanaticism and how it can limit thinking and innovation. Lot’s of good stuff.

This week, Rob, Stephanie, and Marc rap about the great workforce shortage. Can we automate our way out of the shortage? Can we create digital twins to replace them? Will you be hiring a digital twin to fill roles that you can’t fill? Rob gives a lecture on the jobs to be done and defining roles and tasks for a digital twin that learns human behavior and decision making? Sure, it’s a bit of a mind bender. Is a digital twin a simulation? Your head will hurt by the time you get to the end of the episode. It is awesome! Tune in! Like! Share!

This week, Andreea, Tom, Rob, Bill, and Leonard talk about the B Company and the idea of doing good. Are you doing good? Is your company doing good? What is your purpose? We the make another foray into a discussion about Bill’s ridiculously awesome smart, connected him. Really weird, later on we talk about the relevance of PERA and how age old frameworks are still valid. Cloud does not break the wheel. Bill’s house is proof. We wrap things up with a long discussion about security, quality code development, and the need to test and QA. We need to call it DevTestOps because we tend to defund the testing and QA in IT.

This week, Andreea, Steve, Leonard, Bill, and Rob engaged in a fragmented but enthralling discussion about a bunch of random stuff such as the Hurricane Ian tragedy, going from chip shortage to the impending chip glut, annoying behaviors of Norton endpoint protection, the Edge Computing World, and Big Ass Fans.

This week, we have a special guest, Afzal Mangal of T-Mobile and IoT Creators, joining us to talk about his book, “How Telcos Destroy Their Future Relevance”. It’s a great book. Straight talk and some sobering perspective on why telcos do what they do and don’t do what we think they might be able to do. It’s a great debate with Rob taking on Marc Pous’ role as Chief “I disagree with you” Officer! It’s pandemonium on Zoom as the gallery debates topics from the role of ecosystems to the stifling influence of standards in innovation. It gets hot up in here!

This week, Leonard and Rob report from Mobile World Congress in Las Vegas. This is the first year that the North American version of GSMA’s marquee event is taking place in Sin City in collaboration with CTIA. It’s an event that is still recovering from the big pandemic hit that forced the event organizers to regroup and reinvent. You won’t want to miss this event where Leonard gets totally lost and has to trek much further than he had to if he had bother to find out where MWCLA 2022 was taking place before he left his hotel. Pretty ridiculous. On the way, the Dynamic IoT Duo carry on about what is big in IoT and 5G. Is it all about ecosystems? Is it all about open? Find out in this episode! Tune in! Like! Share!

This week, Steve Brumer and Tom White join Stephanie, Rob, and Leonard to talk about where the growth is. Leonard is at TM Forum’s Digital Transformation World 2022 event in Copenhagen reporting live. Just like the IoT, the folks in the telecoms industry are trying to figure out where the growth is. Listen to us conclude that the Hump of Nonsense and what happens when valuable technological improvements in industry and within companies can be undermined by hype and silliness. We also talk about Helium House.

This week, Leonard, Rob, Bill, and Marc jump on a chat about a lot of stuff. We kick things off reminiscing about the 90s when Grunge just became a thing at a time when spandex and teased massive hair and heavy metal guitar ruled the day. Then came Britney Spears who ruined everything. We also chat about smart homes and why they don’t matter despite Matter and it’s inability to Thread the needle despite support from massive players like Apple. Speaking of Apple, we talk about the big announcement that was going to happen today with a lot of gossip and hype about some kind of satellite service, faster and better iPhone, new Apple Watch, and AirPods, and more, and the drama that is Arm suing Qualcomm. Of course, we were right about Apple, they had deal with Globalstar. It’s real, not a rumor. Tune in! Like! Share!

This week, David, Rob, Marc, and Leonard talk about how we can save digital transformation and the IoT. With 84% of digital transformation initiatives failing and 75% of IoT projects biting the dust, do we need to look at the problem differently? After all our grade is an F-. Is that acceptable? We work through some tough realities and connect the dots on framing the problem. After all, we can't solve the problem until we can see and define the problem.

In this installment, we talk about open source software. Is it more secure or just more transparent? Who do you trust? The closed software guys or the open software guys? What about SBOM (software bill of materials)? Can that help in preventing things like Log4J which opens a massive security hole in our digital universe? Get into the fray. It's techno religious war time!
