Podcast appearances and mentions of Sierra Wireless

Today, I am delighted to welcome Dave Furneaux, Founder & CEO of BlueIO, an innovative, mission-driven builder capitalist investment company. Dave is a co-founder and investor in a number of innovative companies, such as Blaze (acquired by Akamai), Cybersaint (a leading Cyber Risk Management company), Greenlight Biosciences (EPA approved breakthrough RNA bio-chemical platform for clean food), Lufa Farms (a leading agricultural technology company), Lumicell (an FDA approved platform for Cancer therapy) and Virsec (a breakthrough cyber protection company). He has been a driving force behind many breakthrough technology, health, and food companies as a founder, operator, investor, and active board leader. Some notable examples include Watchfire (acquired by IBM), Skystone (acquired by Cisco Systems), Application Security (acquired by SingTel) and Aironet (acquired by Cisco Systems). Earlier in his career, Dave founded and led Kodiak Venture Partners, which went on to invest in and build companies such as Appnexus (acquired by AT&T), Channel Advisor (NYSE: ECOM), Extreme (acquired by Microchip), Enfora (acquired by Sierra Wireless), IM Logic (acquired by Symantec) and WHERE (acquired by Paypal). David believes, and we at FOX agree, that families are uniquely positioned and endowed to create, build, and innovate by putting their family capital, their entrepreneurial spirit, and creativity to work to solve the big problems our world is facing. He talks about why he has this conviction, how he sees it play out today, and why and how families play this key role in innovation and building new solutions and products. The topic of our conversation with Dave is encapsulated in a relatively new term: “Builder Capitalism”. Dave defines Builder Capitalism for our audience, describes the tenets of this investment philosophy, and outlines the mindset and skills it requires. He also paints the picture of how Builder Capitalism is manifested in reality through the activities and behaviors of entrepreneurs. Dave offers many practical tips and suggestions to the different market players who are interested in Builder Capitalism, starting with what investors need to know or do if they want to participate in this movement and allocate their capital (financial and non-financial) to Builder Capitalist ventures. He also provides his advice to entrepreneurs and founders who share this belief system and see themselves and their startups as members of this Builder Capitalism economy. Finally, Dave offers his insights into the resources available to both investors and founders to become better educated about Builder Capitalism and to be better connected into the emerging ecosystem of this rising entrepreneurial movement. This is a must-hear conversation with one of the leading thought leaders, practitioners, and innovators in the Builder Capitalism movement, who is also a family principal and leader of his own multigenerational entrepreneurial family.

In dieser IIoT Use Case Podcast Folge spricht Eric Scheithauer, Senior Manager IoT bei Sierra Wireless darüber, wie IoT Assets (also Geräte, Sensoren, Steuerungen, Gateways) sicher und einfach mit der Cloud verbunden werden. Dabei erklärt Eric uns verschiedene Kommunikationsprotokolle, die für den Austausch von Daten zwischen Prozessen zuständig sind. Beispielsweise spricht er dabei über das LPWAN: Das low-power wide-area network. Ein Beispiel dafür die Datenübertragung von batteriebetriebenen Sensoren. Wir gehen dazu auf unterschiedliche Use Cases ein, um zu verstehen wie diese Übertragung genau funktioniert. Low Power Wide Area Network (LPWAN oder LPN, deutsch: Niedrig Energie Weitverkehrnetzwerk) beschreibt eine Klasse von Netzwerkprotokollen zur Verbindung von Niedrigenergiegeräten wie batteriebetriebene Sensoren mit einem Netzwerkserver. Das Protokoll ist so ausgelegt, dass eine große Reichweite und ein niedriger Energieverbrauch der Endgeräte bei niedrigen Betriebskosten erreicht werden können Um das Thema einzuordnen: Das LPWAN wurde für M2M- (Machine-to-Machine) und IoT-Netzwerke (Internet of Things) erschaffen. Verglichen mit herkömmlichen, mobilen Netzwerken sind die Betriebskosten geringer und die Energieeffizienz ist höher. Es lässt sich auch eine größere Anzahl an verbundenen Geräten in umfangreicheren Gebieten betreiben. Dazu erzählt uns Eric aus der Praxis mehr- auch wie LTE-M und NB-IoT im 5G Rahmen einzuordnen sind.  Eric stellt uns zunächst Sierra Wireless vor und wie einfach und sicher die Datenübertragung von Kommunikationsgeräten in die Cloud funktioniert. Dabei geht es um das Thema der Konnektivität, der Datenübertragung über Mobilfunk und auch die Anbindung an die Cloud über sog. Rest API-Schnittstellen. Er erklärt anhand unterschiedlicher Use Cases auch wie beispielsweise globale SIM Karten zur Verfügung gestellt werden und welche Regulatorien es in diesem Zusammenhang einzuhalten gilt. Wichtig ist vor allem auch das Thema Standards im Mobilfunk (NBIOT, LoRa, LPWAN etc.) auch im Zusammenhang mit 5G. Eric erklärt welche Institutionen an welchen Standards arbeiten und welche auch in Zukunft immer wichtiger im IoT Umfeld werden. Die Use Cases sind aus unterschiedlichen Bereichen aus der Praxis ausgewählt: Ventilatorenbau, privater Netzwerkausbau der BASF im Rahmen von 5G, Kompressoren-Hersteller der Verbrauchsbasiert abrechnet, Energiespeicher und Luftreinhaltung im Chemie-Umfeld. Die Folge schließt mit einer Diskussion über die zukünftigen Entwicklungen, wie sich das Ökosystem von Unternehmen gestalten sollte, die Skalierbarkeit und Netzwerk Standards in der Industrie. Infos zu den Use Cases | iotusecase.comKontakt zu Sierra Wireless  https://www.sierrawireless.com/ Kontakt zu Eric | https://www.linkedin.com/in/eric-scheithauer-mba-iot-edge-to-cloud-solutions-for-industrial-assets/

Smart technology is all around us. However, it hasn’t migrated to the industrial sector with nearly the speed that it could (or should). Why is that? That’s the question I asked of Ashish Syal, who is the Chief Engineer for IoT at Sierra Wireless in this week’s Five Minutes with…discussion. Ashish, being a technologist, has a great handle on this space. https://www.sierrawireless.com/

Cette semaine à Ça s'branche où? : une carte modem pour bloc-notes, un terminal télé HD, un concentrateur, la chaise ultime pour dos endoloris et des câbles pour vos appareils HD. Top branché, 1re partie On a beaucoup parlé de Wi-Fi et de connexion à Internet au cours des dernières émissions. Ce qui est tout à fait normal puisque des points d'accès sans fil à haute vitesse gratuits, c'est toujours utile! Sauf qu'il arrive parfois qu'on soit sur la route et qu'on n'ait pas accès à un tel point de connexion. C'est alors qu'une carte PC comme l'AirCard 595, de Sierra Wireless, entre en jeu. Il s'agit d'une carte PC qui se branche dans le port PCMCIA d'un ordinateur portatif et qui permet d'accéder à Internet à partir du réseau sans fil numérique de Bell (ou Telus). Cette AirCard est vendue par Bell Mobilité et, grande première au pays, elle peut être achetée avec un forfait « Données illimitées » pour 75 dollars par mois.. Top branché, 2e partie Les cartes modem PC qui se connectent à un réseau cellulaire peuvent prendre plus d'une forme. La plupart des blocs-notes utilisent un port PCMCIA, un peu plus large, mais de plus en plus de nouveaux appareils sont munis d'un port pour des cartes qu'on nomme ExpressCard. Heureusement, il existe des accessoires qui, eux, sont compatibles avec à peu près tous les PC munis d'une simple carte réseau Wi-Fi. C'est le cas du routeur mobile KR1 de Kyocera. Si, à tout hasard, vous désirez utiliser une carte PC avec le réseau GSM de Rogers ou Fido, vous pouvez aussi jeter un coup d'oeil du côté de la carte GC89, de Sony Ericsson. C'est beau mais c'est quoi? C'est une pieuvre pour appareils audiovisuels. Il peut avoir jusqu'à sept tentacules de différents formats. Il n'a qu'une seule tête, heureusement, et on peut la contrôler à distance. C'est la solution idéale pour ceux qui se perdent toujours dans les câbles! C'est beau, mais c'est quoi? C'est le contrôleur 7-en-1 Control Center 254c de Joytech. Attrape techno Ça fait un bout de temps que Bernard a acheté son téléviseur et son cinéma maison, mais il vient enfin de tout brancher ensemble. En fait, c'est plutôt simple : le fil au bout jaune va dans la prise jaune, le rouge dans le rouge, le blanc dans le blanc. Et voilà! Il a maintenant la télé HD dans son salon! Sauf que règle générale, les câbles qui sont inclus dans la boite lorsqu'on achète un appareil électronique sont de si mauvaise qualité qu'ils vont nuire aux performances de l'appareil. Surtout avec un téléviseur HD, si on utilise un câble vidéo RCA traditionnel, on ne pourra même pas avoir d'image HD à proprement parler! Ça prend au minimum des câbles composantes, et au mieux, un câble HDMI.
