Tracking and behavioral analysis in public places
When is it appropriate to track behavior in public spaces? IoT technology makes it possible to track behaviors through visual systems or the interaction between dedicated hardware and personal devices. But does that make it right? The EU-funded PATH project is developing an approach that balances public safety with individuals’ right to privacy. This could be used for gauging crowd size and monitoring crowd flows for public safety and commercial purposes.
Verizon’s Narrowband IoT Network now covers more than 92% of the US population
Narrowband Internet of Things (NB-IoT) technology is specifically designed for IoT applications that could benefit from access to lower cost chipsets, superior coverage and significantly prolonged battery life. The NB-IoT Network provides the ability to manage both IP and non-IP data traffic. This ability to handle non-IP data traffic allows for the creation of much simpler and more cost-effective IoT devices which are ideal for solutions that aren’t designed to be always mobile such as alarm panels, environmental sensors, industrial appliances, factory equipment and parking meters.
