Verizon Communications launched its nationwide narrowband Internet of Things network, saying it covers more than 92% of the U.S. population. “There is a whole universe of smart solutions needing scalable and affordable connections,” Jeffrey Dietel, senior vice president of business marketing and products, said in a statement. “By launching our NB-IoT network, Verizon is taking yet another step in making that connectivity available and driving innovation in the IoT field.” The network carries Internet protocol and non-IP data traffic. AT&T and T-Mobile US have recently launched nationwide NB-IoT networks.

Renesas Electronics demonstrated a real-time Industrial IoT gateway, real-time asset tracking, secure chip-to-cloud connectivity using the Renesas Synergy platform, energy harvesting with silicon-on-thin-buried-oxide technology, and embedded security for a connected world.

Sequans Communications is partnering with Momentum IoT to offer LTE-M connectivity with the Momentum IoT Eagle 1 telematics tracking device to provide more cost-effective and more user-friendly fleet management. The rugged Eagle 1 device is said to enable fleet managers to monitor and track all aspects of their vehicle fleets, from fuel consumption and location to maintenance issues.

Myriota is teamingwith Eagle.io, a cloud-based environmental platform, to help protect the worldwide water supply. The two companies will work with MIoT, a manufacturer of third-party data loggers, with Myriota integrating its module into the Captis product line, and Eagle.io building a feature that will allow device configuration and management for the Captis from within their application.

Others news are coming from IOT 2019 Santa Clara.

Cybersecurity

Intel warned of a microarchitectural data sampling vulnerability in its processors made since 2011. The chipmaker says the hardware security flaw, which is called the ZombieLoad bug, enables a side-channel attack to exploit those flaws, instead of inserting malicious code. The company issued patches for its Intel Xeon, Intel Broadwell, Sandy Bridge, Skylake, and Haswell processors. Intel Kaby Lake, Coffee Lake, Whisky Lake, and Cascade Lake chips are also affected, along with all Atom and Knights processors.

Two Florida counties had their election systems breached by Russian hackers in 2016, Governor Ron DeSantis disclosed Tuesday, while adding that the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security prohibited him from naming the counties involved. He said the cyberintrusion was focused on the voter rolls, which are public information in the Sunshine State.
