How The Curve used Blecon’s low‑power BLE stack and gateways to deliver robust people and asset tracking in sparse, off‑grid environments—summarised from a conversation between our CTO, James, and Blecon’s CEO, Simon Ford.

Last month, James and I were fortunate enough to be able to attend Onomondo’s “Made for IoT Summit”. Onomondo are an IoT connectivity provider whose focus is on making and providing cellular connectivity as simple and straightforward as possible for their customers and partners.

At The Curve we do a lot of talking about “The Internet of Things”, we offer IoT consultancy services, we even host IoT events, and at the office, there’s more often than not, a half-assembled “thing” sitting on a desk waiting for its life as a connected internet device to begin.

First of all, a massive thank you to everyone who attended our event on the transformative power of IoT, we were thrilled to see so many familiar faces and new ones eager to dive into the world of IoT.

In this post we take a quick look at the gadgets featured during The Curve’s demo at our first in-person event that we hosted the other week as well as a few of the considerations that went into the design, build and software.

September was a busy month for us at The Curve, but Paul and I were able to get some time out of the office to attend The Things Conference in Amsterdam.

The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to a network of devices or objects that contain or are made up of a variety of sensors and other data gathering technologies that can connect and share information with one another as well as sharing data with other devices through an internet connection.

Advances in IoT (The Internet of Things) technology has revolutionised the way devices interact with each other and with us. From smart homes to industrial automation, IoT devices rely on continuous, real-time communication to operate efficiently and effectively.

As the Internet of Things (IoT) continues to expand, the need for efficient, reliable, and scalable communication protocols becomes increasingly crucial. WebSockets have been a popular choice for real-time communication between devices and servers, but a new contender, WebTransport, is emerging as a powerful alternative. This blog post delves into what WebTransport is, how it works, and why it represents a significant improvement over WebSockets, especially in the context of IoT.

The Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust (TRFT) has expanded its valuable and successful collaboration with The Curve. Their goal is to explore new and innovative ways to manage data more effectively and ensure real-time data is at the forefront of its decision making process.
