M2M and IoT Blog by Larry Bellehumeur

  1. Living in a world of data, but without facts...

    Quick….how many posts do you think Facebook did per hour on average back in 2015?  How many recipes, pictures of desserts and rants about Game of Thrones were posted? If you are like me, you may be startled when you hear that it was up to 250 million per hour! But, maybe I shouldn’t be…there are […]

  2. Why few Ferrari owners buy tires at Walmart and how this relates to M2M

    OK, as a disclosure, I do not own a Ferrari (I say that with just a bit of a ‘sigh’), so I am not part of that elite group.  As a fan of cars, I have always appreciated both the performance and styling of the Prancing Horse.  One of the downsides to owning such a […]

  3. Do we really need a smart kitchen that bad?

    A few years back, I made the decision to become healthier.  As part of this change, I had to learn how to cook.  The reason is simple….as healthy as today’s take-out / pre-prepared meals claim to be, they still often contain things that go against the idea of eating healthy (namely excessive salt and fat, which […]

  4. Why is IoT so far off-target so far?

    If you’ve seen a presentation that I have given over the past couple of years, you may have seen me reference “the three phases of Wireless”.  It pretty much echoes the three phases of the Internet, but with more of a wireless spin.   During the first phase, it was all about voice.  In the […]

  5. Roomba: Not only eats my iPhone cables, but it also spies on me now?

    Hello and thanks for reading.   At our Novotech head office, we have a Roomba that routinely makes its way around our office, keeping the carpets nice and neat.  For the most part, it kind of does its own thing….which often includes eating my iPhone cable that is plugged into the wall.  While it doesn’t […]

  6. IoT means a loss of privacy, often for those who do not even use it

    \n\t Hello and thanks for reading.  As the world that we live in continues to grow, it raises some interesting questions.  One of them that I like is, “is there anything that is a secret anymore?”  I mean, most of us will keep certain pieces of key information to ourselves.  I don’t know any of […]

  7. An IoT modem shopping list

    Hello and thanks for reading. As I try to maintain the weight loss that I was able to accomplish about 18 months ago, I find that one great way to do it is to use a shopping list for the grocery store. It helps to keep you focused on what you need and to avoid […]

  8. Will IoT help us break the 2-hour Marathon barrier?

    Photo: Courtesy of the Boston Athletic Association As I write this, my mind is focused on running.  Well, to be honest, I do think about running a lot, so that is not new.  However, today is a bit different…today, the Boston Marathon takes place.  Before the horrific incident a few years back, paying attention to […]

  9. Food delivery just got a whole lot 'cooler'

    While I never actually did it, most of my friends delivered food as a job at some point in their high school / college life.  I mean, it wasn’t exactly the hardest job to do and if you had the right route, it could actually be reasonably lucrative thanks to some generous gratuities. One of […]

  10. Will 5G mean the end of all hard-wired connections? Hardly...

    I feel old.  Not because my eyes are going and my body is creaking (I will leave those complaints to my business partner, Richard Hobbs).  I feel old because I was around in this space BEFORE 1G came out.  Now, we’re hearing more and more about the upcoming launch of 5G… And….the speeds are incredible.  […]
