IoT connectivity suitable for SCADA systems?

So, we have already been writing about IoT connectivity, but I wanted to investigate if there’s solution suitable for existing SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems. I’ll be focusing on wireless connectivity of SCADA systems for critical utility services that we take for granted, but without them we couldn’t live on a today's standards, like for example water, electricity, oil and gas. SCADA systems for controlling and monitoring of water, electricity, oil, gas are pretty much mature,  stable systems and they support usage of different wireless connectivity solutions. In today's businesses, everybody is looking for a way to optimize…

Tracking objects using LPWAN networks

Being able to track objects (geolocation) is one of the most important applications of today M2M and more recently IoT networks. As described in the previous article there are several types of network used for IoT. However  we are talking about GPS-free geolocation which is one of the "killer apps" for LoRaWAN. SigFox doesn't support geolocation. Cellular technologies like LTE-CatM and NbIoT should support “native” geolocation (without the GPS) from 3GPP Release 14. Outdoor geolocation using GPS and/or LoRa The traditional way of tracking the outdoor location of the device is to install the GPS receiver inside your device which is…
