As published by NetworkWorld, July 26, 2017 Outside of the consumer market, real examples of the Internet of Things (IoT) often disappoint because in the end, they are limited by one or more of the IoT’s constraints: tens of billions of devices, cheap to acquire, cheap to deploy, security and ubiquitous connections. I spoke with […]

As published by FierceWireless, July 11, 2017 After quietly building a business to serve the burgeoning IoT for the last three years, Senet is hoping to turn up the volume.
