3 Companies Leveraging Blockchain for IoT Companies are beginning to explore the benefits of using blockchain technology to address their growing IoT needs. Blockchain is a cryptographically secured, distributed ledger that allows for the secure transfer of information between parties. The primary benefit for adding blockchain to an IoT deployment is the decentralized architecture of distributed ledger technologies like blockchain. Operating on a peer-to-peer (P2P) network, rather than a centralized cloud environment allows for the […]

Productized IoT solutions: making IoT easier
IoT is easy: a phrase that no one has ever said. More precisely, no one has ever said that deploying an enterprise- or carrier-grade IoT solution that supports multiple, integrated applications is easy. And this is certainly understandable. In general, it takes 5-7 IoT technology partners to stand-up one IoT solution. IoT technology vendors have not spent much time integrating IoT solutions that are relatively productized. However, MachNation is beginning to see some movement toward off-the-shelf IoT […]
