Introduction and IoT ecosystem Before writing about any IoT platform, a few words must be said about IoT platforms in general. There are several definitions available so I will try to simplify my view about it. In each case before even talking about IoT platforms, one must first define what is the IoT ecosystem (or IoT stack, IoT  architecture…) and where does IoT platform fits inside this ecosystem. IoT ecosystem in most cases consists of four major components: Things (hardware) are devices in the form of sensors (for temperature, pollution…) that collect data from the environment or in the form…

When I started reading about IoT, it looked pretty blurry - sensors, devices, networking, gateways, platforms, applications….solutions popping out from every corner and each web page. Anyhow, with this post I’d like to make an overview of where to find good online IoT courses that I managed to stumble upon. I would recommend a self learning approach but with strong focus that depends on your area of interest and the desire in which area to grow. It's always good to define ambitious goals and if possible to aim activities that might reach several goals. Good options are making your own IoT solution…

This article will cover technical aspects of LoRa and SigFox technology. Although there are similarities like working in same frequency bands, using unlicensed spectrum and playing in the lower cost end of the market (which shouldn't be covered by telcos), there are some major differences since LoRa can work both ways, it can support higher data rates and it's not proprietary. On the other hand SigFox although proprietery network controlled by SigFox it can do global roaming that is still not supported by LoRa. In the end a technical comparison table and business oriented chart is given with the brief…
