In this week's episode, Leonard, Rob and Bill mine Web3 to dig up nuggets of knowledge on the digital disruption of industries stemming from a rather meandering chat about music and how digital technologies have transformed the music industry but may have also had a dulling impact on artistic innovation and creativity by fostering an epoch of cut and paste music. Doesn't that make artistry that much more valuable and precious? Maybe not?

We also talk about the new Apple iPhone 15 versus Samsung's Galaxy S23 Ultra. Which has the better camera? Which one is changing the game?

We break down why digital transformation looks so good on paper, but it ends up being a little more complex and why organizations struggle. We provide the dirty laundry view, not the HBS diluted academic view.

In this week's episode, Rob, Stephanie, Bill, Ryan, Steve, and Marc jump on Web3 broadcasted from Bandera TX, and Austin TX at Applied Intelligence Live 2023. This week the gang talks about how IoT has been orphaned and has been adopted by other buzzword and hyped stuff like AI, quantum, and other stuff that will eventually get deflated.

All jokes aside, we get brutally practical about AI at the edge, 5G on the factory floor, and the prospects of private networks for IoT. Is the value shifting where things like neutral host models and 5G connected shop floors will make sense soon? The gang also hits on digital twin as Rob is slated to jump on a panel with the Godfather of digital twins, Dr. Michael Grieves!

In this week's episode, Rob, Leonard, and Marc jump on Web3 broadcasted Mobile World Congress 2023 in Las Vegas to talk about the purpose of events in a post-pandemic era. Are they worth it? Just a few weeks ago, everyone was going nuts over how it was so awesome to have face-to-face meetings again. Honestly, it is still the case, but is the purpose missing from many of these industry events that have put selling stuff and visions ahead of solving problems?

It just might be the case. So can we expect event organizations like GSMA to pivot and focus on things that matter rather than stuff like "Earth Computing"? 

We think so, and it will be for the better because 5G is not having a good time at the moment.

In this week's episode, Bill, Stephanie, Rob, Leonard and special guest, Jeff Gavlinkski of Mountain Connect, jump into the metaverse to Party Up! (R.I.P. DMX) and talk about BEAD and how Rob and Leonard live in underserved communities that are supposed to be "5G coverage" areas. 

We talk about the importance of the maps and data that may or may not do a great job of helping us figure out where billions in U.S. Federal funding goes to connect EVERYONE! 

How do we assure that we minimize fraud and waste and arm communities and service providers with the technologies and know-how to deploy the "best" connectivity solutions to build out their infrastructure? 

What role will 5G play and will it live up enough to expectations to bridge the digital divide reliably and at a low cost.

Find out why Rob is WMX, DMX's alter ego.

Can we do better than Emergency SOS in light of the tragedy in Maui and other places that have and will suffer natural and unnatural catastrophe?

We also delve into the complexities and challenges of planning, designing, and implementing heterogeneous connectivity solutions that keep costs low and help projects meet their BEAD commitments to the U.S. government and ultimately taxpayers who are fronting the bill to foster connected equity.

You will want to watch this one all the way through. The nuggets are hidden and could make all the difference in your business, so we hope you will take your time. 

Also, check out Mountain Connect at www.mountainconnect.io. It is a great conference. Reach out to Jeff Gavlinski to find out more.

Thanks for joining us. Sit back with a cup of Joe and enjoy the morning banter.

Rob, Bill, and Leonard attended Mountain Connect 2023 in Denver and somehow found themselves on stage with an unwitting Jeff Lewis as well as event CEO, Jeff Gavlinsky. Everyone else got walk on music but we didn't so we went DMX on everyone with a little "Party Up!". This was the first time that IoT Coffee Talk was live on stage at a conference keynote. Yes, we recorded a live session at IoT Stars earlier this year. You should check that episode out as well.

We had a great chance to talk about the digital divide and the role that the BEAD program will have in bridging it. The team works through some of the key challenges that will face municipalities and communities as they apply for grants and go through the tough work of getting the infrastructure up to deliver services to every household in the U.S. 

But equity transcends infrastructure. How do we achieve equity through the massive public-private endeavor that is BEAD? 

Great ready to get real! Make sure to check out Mountain Connect 2023 and consider attending next year to get the latest and the greatest in broadband U.S.A.!

In this week's episode, Leonard and David jump into the metaverse to talk about the real attempt by the Federal government to bridge the digital divide from Mountain Connect 2023, the largest conference on rural broadband in the U.S. Leonard provides an update on the BEAD program and the process that municipalities, vendors, and service providers need to go through to get that funding. David and Leonard talk about the technologies that are available to enable the many options that BEAD recipients have to deploy broadband to each and every American when trenching fiber gets extremely costly.

In this week's episode, Leonard, Rob, David, Steve, and Bill jump on Web3 to make good on a historic and tragic lost episode. Yes, after three and a half years, we lost a beautiful episode that featured our magnificent ladies of IoT Coffee Talk, Andreea and Stephanie who are so essential in not making our show a weekly dudefest. We appreciate them!!!

Alas, the episode evaporated and we could not use generative AI to hallucinate that which was lost. But Rob used the power of his human brain equipped with high-bandwidth memory 5.0 to recall the key aspects of a great episode.

This is a must watch for folks who are into smart buildings and homes. 

Shout out to RAK Wireless!!! Facilities managers around the world, we love you and you are brilliant! IoT guys just don't know what they are talking about!!!!

In this week's episode, Leonard, Rob, Marc, and Bill talk about the burning Earth. I know, kind of a depressing topic, but it is real, and Rob got up on the wrong side of the bed and shared how he gets attacked by folks who disagree with saving the planet and humanity. Poor guy. he's only trying to give us hope. Oh, well. Rob tries. 

Somehow we relate our seemingly or passive reluctance to do anything about climate change to the IoT and the challenges that the industry has had in getting industries to see the value of the prototypical value propositions of the Internet of Things. Can we digital twin ourselves out of catastrophe or is the physical twin that all that matters?

In this week's episode, Leonard, Rob, and Bill jump on Web3 to talk about how the IoT can save a young Rob Tiffany from getting eaten by a Grizzly bear when he was way tardy getting back to camp from his mountain hike. Yes, connecting the middle of nowhere is here and it presents some exciting possibilities for tracking and tracing things so that Rob will never have to use a Windows phone's LED screen to illuminate his path in the wilderness. We also talk about how best effort will keep the cloud more remote from the edge than we might have thought and hoped. Rob also proves that human judgement makes us a bit better than the artificial humanity.

In this week's episode, Leonard, Rob, Steve, Tom, Marc, and Bill jump on Web3 for a special 4th of July episode of IoT Coffee Talk to wax nostalgic as Rob visits Bend Oregon and encounters the last Blockbuster Video. Will IoT be of any value when a problem is bigger than what IoT can solve? Sounds like a no. Should we bother? Why is a strong 5G signal not good enough? What is the role of fiber in bringing about equity across the many digital divides? Also, find out why density matters in scaling the economics of connecting everyone.

In this week's episode, Leonard, Rob, Steve, David, and Bill jump on Web3 to talk about the semiconductor industry. Leonard is at SEMICON West 2023, the big semiconductor manufacturing and design conference. Lot's of chip suggest dropped in this one. We also talk about how badly RFPs suck, the chip and tech war between the US and China, and the prospect that the semiconductor industry will hit $1 trillion by 2030. Is that with or without inflation?

In this week's episode, Bill, David, Rob, and Marc jump on to Web3 for what happened to be the shortest IoT Coffee Talk episode EVER! It's because Rob doesn't have a Zoom subscription and he dropped Leonard's paid session when we went for some coffee. It was the best discussion on open standards and interoperability that we have had in a very long time. We have standards for gasoline and mobile networks, but why not for IoT? Is it not important enough? Find out in this engaging episode before you slam the door on your foot!!!

In this week's episode, Bill, David, and Rob jump on Web3 to talk about how we would and could not be digital without first being analog. I think they talk about how the IoT is a ADAD environment. Lot's of analog stuff working with digital stuff to measure and test real stuff. That's how IoT keeps things real. The gang also talk about how experience gives us perspective on what is real. It matters and the crew talks about how it is delusional to discount the value of mentorship in bringing people up from their apprenticeship into a level of expertise, skill, and judgement in the field. Bill goes ballistic on the consulting game and what it takes to say no and save yourself the headache.

In this week's episode, Andreea, Ryan, Steve, Rob, Leonard, Jan, and Marc jump on to Web3 to talk about the fabled generative AI productivity uplift. Where are we seeing it and where is it just not going to happen? Is quality of output important? If so, what does it take to get generative AI applications to deliver on pretty lofty expectations and perceptions of capability. Do we have enough eyeballs to lend value to the deluge of AI-generated content that is already here and will only get better and worse,... probably at the same time. Is MQTT in vogue again or are people making something old new again because they don't know that it's old. Also, watch Jan get really real and grumpy about GenAI. It's pretty funny. Martin is going to be really upset with him. LOL!

In this week's episode, Rob, Tom, and David broadcast live from Pearl Harbor, HI to talk about the military applications of tech and the interdependency that the private sector has with the military. The guys also talk about the influence that technology has on strategic military advantage, capability, and innovation such as what we are seeing in the Ukraine as Ukrainians are using commercial solutions in creative ways to defeat what many analysts thought were capable Russian platforms with surprising ease and economics. Doing more with less is happening with a new form of techno guerrilla warfare. Super interesting discussion on how situational awareness provided by IoT can make all the difference on the battlefield and in your business.

In this week's episode, Andreea, David, Ryan, Bill, Leonard, Steve, Rob, and Marc jump on to Web3 joined by the illustrious Matt Hatton of Transforma Insights (who bravely enters the IoT House of Pain) to talk about making IoT less risky and insecure. Our collective proposition - take out some of the stupid IoT practices and situations that form at the cusp of collective ignorance (not a bad thing as long you are willing to learn and be enlightened) and negligence (both willful and unintended). We all see it. What can we do to rid of it? Is regulation the answer? More technology? Clearing of dirty laundry?

In this week's episode, Tom, Leonard, Steve, Rob, and Marc jump on to Web3 to celebrate IoT Coffee Talk's almost Everclear IoT episode!! This rant is all over the place but centers on the topics of Steve keep saying engineering and business schools should make IoT Coffee Talk mandatory parts of their curricula, why everyone thinks Apple stinks but they don't and that pisses everyone off, what IoT can learn from the fragmentation issues in the Windows and Android ecosystems, and why developers don't matter as much as we might think. I know! It's about starting with the customer experience, which does not mean starting with the customer. Mind-bending stuff!

Does it need to be a 3D model and exists in an immersive industrial metaverse or can it be simple and easy? Is ChatGPT and generative AI applications going to help us, or dilute us, our talent, and and our worth? Most importantly, will the folks at Google ever get the free massage services back again? If they do, will they have to go back to the office? More importantly, can IoT and digital twins save the commercial real estate market?

In this week's episode, Stephanie, Bill, Leonard, Steve, Rob, and Marc jump on to Web3 to determine if we can have the best of both worlds? Can we find balance between our digital world and reality? If we virtualize the world can we trust the real world? What happens when we put more faith and trust in technology than we do in ourselves? Very trippy discussion, but we get into the hopes and the fears of our future that will be heavily influenced and impacted by AI. When virtual overrides our believes and value, how do we trust each other, our institutions, our realities?

Steve, Andreea, and Leonard jump on the Zoom siloverse for the last episode of 2022 to talk about entrepreneurship, the fear and the challenges of going out on your own, and what it takes to discover a career and life beyond corporate, and getting the origin of Auld Lang Syne compleeeeetely wrong. We also find ourselves talking about forecasts again and how blindly believing them has proven time and time again to be detrimental to company, industry, person, and beyond. It seems like a persistent theme that won't go away. With a reset of interest rates globally to sightly high be "normal" levels, nonsense no longer has a market. So, what do you do if you are caught in the middle going into 2023. Clarity is the key and a focus on value.

Happy 2023, IoT Coffee Talk listeners! This week we are taping from Las Vegas. Rob and Leonard are attending CES 2023. This week Andreea, Bill, Rob, and Leonard, and David hop on to the siloverse to talk about resolutions, hopes, and aspirations for the new year. We talk about soul searches, job searches, self-discovery, and the broken promise of 5G and other hype technologies and hypes that came and died at CES in the past. We contemplate how digital transformation is hard and so easy to say, but you can actually do it wrong. 

Welcome to the Year of the Rabbit! We hope you have good fortune and have the luck of the bunny in 2023!

This week a massive team (Stephanie, Tom, David, Marc, Andreea, Rob, and Leonard) jump on the siloverse joined by first-timer, Eric Simone, CEO of ClearBlade, to talk about mostly agriculture and how it was big at CES 2023, how it is increasingly capturing the techno spotlight, and how it is increasingly essential in saving farming for humanity and environment. We also touch on privacy and why we are told it doesn't matter by folks who benefit from it not mattering, and the possibility of private farms becoming a thing because processed foods just don't taste as good as produce and stuff in Europe.

This week, we had our largest group (Bill, Steve, Stephanie, Tom, David, Marc, Andreea, Rob, and Leonard) jump on the siloverse to talk about how rural connectivity has largely been all talk and little to speak about. With new spectrum and new options for connecting things out in the rural areas and the agricultural plains of the US and other regions, the economics don't seem to work out. The biggest issue - backhaul. Do we need to connect to the cloud or will edge computing provide new options for bringing connected intelligence to the remote and rural. It's another thought-bending one from IoT Coffee Talk! Check it out!

Marc, Bill, Rob, and Leonard jump on the Zoom siloverse to talk about Rob's Waterworld strategy for saving humanity, or at least a few of us, as global warming threatens to shift populations as regions of our planet either get swallowed up by the oceans, or become perennial fire and drought zones. While billions if not trillions will be spent on traveling to Mars to create an option for humanity, what about the next frontier right on our planet? The oceans? We also talk about industry events and getting the most out of them. Why we need details (not high level diagrams) to make things happen. Why Industry 4.0 has lost its relevance. The Magic Quadrant, does it work for Industrial IoT? The gang considers creating an IoT Coffee Quadrant. Are you in?

This week, Rob, Leonard, Ryan, and David jump on the siloverse to talk about why RFPs are typically pretty lame, why buyers should make sure they have their act together when they put that RFP together lest they expose how little they know about what they want, to channel or not to channel, and are we over partnering to the point it means nothing? Will you be my channel partner. Will you be mine? Will you be mine?  It's another thought-bending one from IoT Coffee Talk! Check it out!

This week, we have a special guest, Afzal Mangal of T-Mobile and IoT Creators, joining us to talk about his book, "How Telcos Destroy Their Future Relevance". It's a great book. Straight talk and some sobering perspective on why telcos do what they do and don't do what we think they might be able to do.

It's a great debate with Rob taking on Marc Pous' role as Chief "I disagree with you" Officer! It's pandemonium on Zoom as the gallery debates topics from the role of ecosystems to the stifling influence of standards in innovation. It gets hot up in here!

Oh, and Rob does some amazing air drums! It's simply ridiculous!

This week, Andreea, Tom, Rob, Bill, and Leonard talk about the B Company and the idea of doing good. Are you doing good? Is your company doing good? What is your purpose? 

We the make another foray into a discussion about Bill's ridiculously awesome smart, connected him. Really weird, later on we talk about the relevance of PERA and how age old frameworks are still valid. Cloud does not break the wheel. Bill's house is proof. 

We wrap things up with a long discussion about security, quality code development, and the need to test and QA. We need to call it DevTestOps because we tend to defund the testing and QA in IT.

This week, Andreea, Steve, Leonard, Bill, and Rob engaged in a fragmented but enthralling discussion about a bunch of random stuff such as the Hurricane Ian tragedy, going from chip shortage to the impending chip glut, annoying behaviors of Norton endpoint protection, the Edge Computing World, and Big Ass Fans. Yes, that is literally the name of the company that makes the massive fans that you see at Costcos to cool the warehouses.

This week, Rob, Stephanie, and Marc rap about the great workforce shortage. Can we automate our way out of the shortage? Can we create digital twins to replace them? Will you be hiring a digital twin to fill roles that you can't fill?

Rob gives a lecture on the jobs-to-be-done and defining roles and tasks for a digital twin that learns human behavior and decision making? 

Sure, it's a bit of a mind bender. Is a digital twin a simulation? Your head will hurt by the time you get to the end of the episode. It is awesome!

Steve, Bill, Rob, David, and ANOTHER STEVE! jump on the metaverse to swap about IoT stuff. Amazing discussion on thought-provoking questions such as, is IoT a hyperscaler gig? Did they get it all wrong (yes, they did. Rob and Leonard said so and friggin' predicted os back in 2017 at IoT Solutions World Congress)? The gang talks about the need to train a network of SIs that can deliver end to end. Where are they? How do we scale IoT solution delivery?

This week, Leonard and Rob report from Mobile World Congress in Las Vegas. This is the first year that the North American version of GSMA's marquee event is taking place in Sin City in collaboration with CTIA. It's an event that is still recovering from the big pandemic hit that forced the event organizers to regroup and reinvent. 

You won't want to miss this event where Leonard gets totally lost and has to trek much further than he had to if he had bother to find out where MWCLA 2022 was taking place before he left his hotel. Pretty ridiculous. On the way, the Dynamic IoT Duo carry on about what is big in IoT and 5G. Is it all about ecosystems? Is it all about open? Find out in this episode!

This week, David, Leonard, Rob, and Stephanie talk about the fact that there is no such thing as a miracle, just grit and the will to grind it out. It's all about hard work. There are no miracles. We talk about the necessary mindset and focus needed to reconstituted manufacturing and engineering in the U.S., the importance of starting kids young in becoming our industrial talent of the future. There are no shortcuts and we have to build what is next. It's not about what we invented in the past, it is about what we invent today for future industrial leadership.

This week, David, Leonard, Rob, Bill, and Marc talk about IoT in space. We share our thoughts on the big announcement last week which was the T-Mobile + SpaceX technology partnership to provide cellular-based text services from satellites to your smartphone. Project Artemis' big day was scrubbed on Monday. Did IoT and digital twins not quite work out to make it the first successful launch of this great new program to get humans back on the moon? We talk about how this new excitement about communications in space could create another opportunity for IoT to deliver on some global hopes and promises of old.

This week, Leonard, Rob, Bill, and Marc jump on a chat about a lot of stuff. We kick things off reminiscing about the 90s when Grunge just became a thing at a time when spandex and teased massive hair and heavy metal guitar ruled the day. Then came Britney Spears who ruined everything. We also chat about smart homes and why they don't matter despite Matter and it's inability to Thread the needle despite support from massive players like Apple. Speaking of Apple, we talk about the big announcement that was going to happen today with a lot of gossip and hype about some kind of satellite service, faster and better iPhone, new Apple Watch, and AirPods, and more, and the drama that is Arm suing Qualcomm. Of course, we were right about Apple, they had deal with Globalstar. It's real, not a rumor.

This week, Steve Brumer and Tom White join Stephanie, Rob, and Leonard to talk about where the growth is. Leonard is at TM Forum's Digital Transformation World 2022 event in Copenhagen reporting live. Just like the IoT, the folks in the telecoms industry are trying to figure out where the growth is. Listen to us conclude that the Hump of Nonsense and what happens when valuable technological improvements in industry and within companies can be undermined by hype and silliness. We also talk about Helium House. Steve gives us the low down on what it is like to be the oldest guy in the room of a bunch of crypto fiends who know little about what their crypto investments are capitalizing. Rob and Steve also give Apple of a bunch of unsponsored props for the iPhone 14. Apple, be cool. Donate a couple of million to Elevate Our Kids. www.elevateourkids.org.

This week, we filmed live from Downtown San Diego for Qualcomm's 5G Summit. We entered the danger zone with a chat about how 5G is slowing making new possibilities possible, we talk about inflation, how ridiculous crypto is and the crumbling thesis, the detriment of speculative culture on the integrity of our economy and society. We sprinkle a bit of IoT in there somewhere. I think we mention sustainability.

This week, Rob, David, Marc, and Leonard talk about the glory days of computing, the 80s. Remember Wizardry, Ultima III, Zork, and the many ultra-low res, clunky games that consumed way too much of our time,.... if you were a geek. Leonard shows off his mini museum of Macs, and we talk about the importance of longevity in IoT and the challenges it presents vendors and developers looking to sell digital speed to folks who probably don't care about digital speed. They just want it to work, last, and cost a little as possible. It's a good one.

This week, David, Rob, Marc, and Leonard talk about how we can save digital transformation and the IoT. With 84% of digital transformation initiatives failing and 75% of IoT projects biting the dust, do we need to look at the problem differently? After all our grade is an F-. Is that acceptable? We work through some tough realities and connect the dots on framing the problem. After all, we can't solve the problem until we can see and define the problem.

In this installment, we talk about open source software. Is it more secure or just more transparent? Who do you trust? The closed software guys or the open software guys? What about SBOM (software bill of materials)? Can that help in preventing things like Log4J which opens a massive security hole in our digital universe? Get into the fray. It's techno religious war time!

Steve, Andreea, and Leonard jump on the Zoom siloverse for the last episode of 2022 to talk about entrepreneurship, the fear and the challenges of going out on your own, and what it takes to discover a career and life beyond corporate, and getting the origin of Auld Lang Syne compleeeeetely wrong. We also find ourselves talking about forecasts again and how blindly believing them has proven time and time again to be detrimental to company, industry, person, and beyond. It seems like a persistent theme that won't go away. With a reset of interest rates globally to sightly high be "normal" levels, nonsense no longer has a market. So, what do you do if you are caught in the middle going into 2023. Clarity is the key and a focus on value.

In this installment, we somehow got into a conversation about Apple's newest additions to the M1 Series processor line - M1 Pro and the beastly M1 Max. It's all Rob's fault but we fell into the Apple Silicon rabbit hole and tried to find some relevancy to IoT but largely failed because Rob is so enthralled with the galaxy-changing potential of Apple's new chips. Have a listen, it is actually pretty brilliant and there was some cool brainstorming that occurred. Never a dull moment!
