Earlier this month, VDC’s IoT and Embedded Technology team attended Embedded World and Mobile World Congress. As a follow-up to our coverage and analysis of those events, this document provides our combined analyses and Embeddy Best in Show Award announcements.
Embedded World 2018
VDC’s analysts, along with most of the embedded engineering community, migrated to Nuremberg, Germany for the
16th annual Embedded World conference - the epicenter of the IoT and embedded technology conference calendar.
Mobile World Congress 2018
At Mobile World Congress this year in Barcelona, IoT products and services took a giant leap forward. Unlicensed
spectrum LPWAN products and services for IoT communications (such as LoRa, Sigfox, and Ingenu) have been
available for several years.
