Approximately 90% of all households in the United States use wireless services and an estimated $1.1 trillion is spent on wireless communications worldwide. But just three decades ago, none of the wireless technology we know today existed. What started as a simple business need – wireless cash registers – became IEEE 802.11, the international standard […]
The Internet of Things (IoT), the ability for devices in our everyday environment to connect and share information, offers amazing potential for positive impact in government, education, finance and transportation, as well as nearly endless consumer applications. Companies are working to deploy billions of connected devices – from personal health and fitness trackers, to remote […]

If your organization is involved in developing devices and sensors for the Internet of Things, it’s imperative to understand IEEE Wake-Up Radio and how it may […]
The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is the annual place to be for technology professionals, experts, and enthusiasts. There are literally hundreds of new product launches, and sometimes it’s hard to cut through all the clutter to find out what’s actually worth knowing about. Of the technological solutions for home and business that this year’s event […]
It’s been a busy year for us here at IEEE Innovation at Work since our first article went live this past March. Between then and now, we’ve written roughly 21,000 words on a range of topics, including artificial intelligence, cyber security, ethical hacking, and the Internet of Things. In celebration of these milestones, we thought […]
The Ericsson Research Blog recently profiled IEEE Wake-Up Radio (check it out here). Frequent readers of ours will know that this ground-breaking technology, developed by the IEEE 802.11ba standards task group, adds a second, low-power radio receiver to a device to reduce power consumption and significantly increase battery life. To help organizations understand their options when […]
In 2016, a PwC survey of 1,000 U.S. consumers found: 45% reported owning a fitness band 27% a smartwatch 12% smart clothing Furthermore, 57% said they’re excited about the future of wearable technology as part of everyday life. In order for the full power of these devices to be realized, however, it is important to ensure […]

Predictive maintenance is one of the most compelling use cases for the industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). In fact, according to IBM, predictive maintenance can prevent up to 70% of equipment breakdowns, and reduce downtime by as much as 50%. In the IEEE Technology Report on Wake-Up Radio (IEEE, 2017), this use case is highlighted […]
The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) has the potential to revolutionize industry. With use cases that promise to increase capacity and efficiency while lowering costs, IIoT technology is a smart investment that pays off quickly. Some of the use cases that hold huge potential include predictive maintenance, which helps keep assets up and running, avoiding […]
