In our Industrial IoT work at Juxtology, device security is always top of mind for our customers. And, with the vastly increased risk of connecting industrial assets over consumer devices, this concern is spot on. With industrial IoT connectivity, we create opportunities for huge efficiencies in operations as well as new service capabilities, but we [...]
Once again, CES was huge, fun, and a great checkpoint on the penetration of new technologies and innovations into products. Once again, we saw important innovations, some really great products, as well as a few that left us scratching our heads. From smart home appliances, to drones, to gaming, to virtual reality, to cars, to [...]

IoT was in the spotlight at CES, and that was really fun to see. But while we are rolling out some great IoT platforms now, we still have a lot of work to do to simplify solutions for mass deployment. One part still in flux is in the LPWAN, or Low Power Wide Area Network. LPWAN is [...]
CES was amazing this year. There were great advances all around, but clearly this was a huge year for the Internet of Things (IoT). Device and platform intelligence and interconnectivity was the norm and the systems/connected life nature of new product offerings is being framed as a core piece of the value proposition across many consumer [...]
PTC is showing impressive momentum and continues to build a great IoT portfolio with the announced acquisition of Kepware. The collected acquisitions of ThingWorx, ColdLight, Axeda, and now Kepware, flesh out a very nice set of functionality. PTC is establishing a great IoT portfolio with solid footing where a lot of the early IoT money is likely [...]
Last Friday Juxtology took a trip to the Stanford Institute of Design, known there as ”the D-School”. We had heard great things about what they were doing and wanted to see for ourselves by taking the weekly tour. We were joined by some 20 or so other interested individuals – professionals and students – with [...]
