Wiliot, the Internet of Things pioneer whose ambient IoT Visibility Platform is enabling trillions of “things” to gain intelligence, announced that it is debuting to the mobile market, at MWC Las Vegas 2023, an enhanced version of its Wiliot Cloud and IoT Pixels. The new platform now includes the breakthrough ability to sense and analyze humidity levels of individual products and cases of products in real-time, throughout the supply chain.
By adding humidity sensing to the company’s Visibility Platform on top of Wiliot’s existing temperature and location sensing and carbon emissions measurement Wiliot has made it possible for companies to better ensure the safety, integrity, freshness, and sustainability of moisture-sensitive products end-to-end and at unprecedented scale. Previously, item and case-level sensing for consumable products over carrier networks has not been possible at scale.
The Wiliot Visibility Platform marks the earliest example of ambient IoT at scale, combining Wiliot’s revolutionary, self-powered IoT Pixels and Wiliot Cloud-based analytics to create unparalleled visibility into supply chains, distribution, retail operations, and much more. This capability is set to revolutionize the telecommunications industry when it becomes standardized in 5G Advanced and 6G.
“The ambient IoT represents the mobile market’s biggest disruption since the smartphone,” stated Alon Yehezkely, CTO at Wiliot. “Over 100-million ambient IoT devices came online in 2023, and the market is predicted to grow to billions of devices by 2026. This breakneck adoption and exponential scale are indicative of only the types of technologies that disrupt industries and change the world – and no market is better suited to capitalize on this than mobile and telecommunications.”
Wiliot is a member of 3GPP and participant in 5G and 6G working groups. Leveraging its unique experience pioneering the technology, Wiliot has contributed alongside the giants of the industry to defining the requirements of ambient IoT in emerging applications.
Its inclusion in 5G Advanced and 6G opens the door for wireless carriers and others to deliver interoperable services that will connect billions of wireless devices to trillions of ambient IoT-enabled products, packages, places, food items, plants, livestock, clothes, pharmaceuticals, and more. As such, the ambient IoT represents a lucrative source of SaaS and recurring revenue streams in return for the value that carriers can add to managing networks with trillions of connected devices.
