Digitel Talk

In episode 19, Ian and Frankie are joined again by Steve Statler the CMO of ambient IoT company Wiliot. In this part of the conversation, Steve discusses the concept of ambient IoT and its potential to connect everyday objects at a fraction of the cost. He explains how IoT pixels, small devices that harvest energy from radio waves, can be used to track and monitor various items, such as clothing, food, and medicine. The real-time carbon footprint measurement is highlighted as a key application of ambient IoT, enabling consumers to make more sustainable choices and companies to optimise their operations. Telecom operators are seen as key players in this space, with the potential to drive revenue and address e-waste through device tracking and recycling.
