Rogers announces plans to launch NB-IoT network in Canada
Canadian telecoms operator Rogers announced plans to launch narrow-band internet of things (NB-IoT) technology in the country, the carrier said in a release.
The company emphasized that NB-IoT is complementary to Rogers national LTE and LTE-M networks, which are available to IoT customers across Canada, with additional sites continuously being added, starting with Ontario.
In addition, NB-IoT will also enable consumer IoT applications such as personal SOS devices and trackers, the telco said.
According to data provided by research firm IDC Canada, 81% of medium and large-sized Canadian organizations are currently using IoT solutions.
“Business leaders are becoming more and more sophisticated about their connectivity requirements for each IoT deployment,” said Nigel Wallis, vice president of internet of things research at IDC Canada. “Low-power wide area networks enable businesses to rethink their traditional practices by connecting assets and processes that may previously have been physically or financially challenging. This opens the door to making better decisions faster with more accurate data, a critical step to competing in today’s market.”

Meet the Internet of Cargo at SAP-Infotag Lager- und Transportmanagement 2019
Sensefinity is co-founder of Foodlab - Collaborative Laboratory for sustainable food production systems.
Sensefinity is co-founder of the new Collaborative Laboratory (CoLAB) Foodlab - Collaborative Laboratory for sustainable food production systems.
The FoodLAB CoLAB, starting next September, will bring together institutions and companies to work on thematic issues relevant to advanced food production techniques with potential for carbon sequestration. The goal is to create a collaborative laboratory where various technologies can be tested (by large companies and emerging companies including startups) to improve food production processes in terms of CO2 mitigation, zero use of artificial chemicals, environmental impact and efficiency of the entire value chain. From the seed to the distribution of the products to the final consumer, the objective is to create biological products with low environmental impact and accessible to the growing population.
Sensefinity’s Internet of Cargo will be key to providing digitalization of the supply-chain to provide efficient food preservation avoiding waste.
