Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#012: Plug-and-Play Cellular Connectivity: Nearly Here or Never Happening?
Q: How do you see iSIM and SoftSIM evolving in terms of adoption and standardization?
iSIM is gaining traction as it integrates the secure element on the same chip, with broad industry support and faster time to market; SoftSIM remains less mature due to security and standardization concerns, so adoption is slower.
#012: Plug-and-Play Cellular Connectivity: Nearly Here or Never Happening?
Q: What are the main strategic drivers for moving from Wi-Fi to cellular in IoT devices?
Cellular offers predictable connectivity, global reach, and remote provisioning capabilities through eSIMs, which reduces on-site maintenance and enables new monetization strategies beyond the initial hardware sale.
#008: Navigating the Changing IoT Security Landscape: A Survival Guide for Product Leaders
Q: What are the current key regulatory requirements for device manufacturers?
Regulations require update capability, tamper detection, access control, inventory management, and clear pathways to comply either via self-certification or third-party certification, with CE labeling and product-specific category rules.
#009: Zephyr’s Meteoric Rise and What It Means for the Future of Embedded
Q: How does Zephyr handle safety and compliance, especially with CRA and safety certifications?
Zephyr exposes traceability from kernel requirements to tests, pursues defined scopes for certifications, and offers pathways for product-level certification, including safety artifacts available to members and public models for assessors.
#009: Zephyr’s Meteoric Rise and What It Means for the Future of Embedded
Q: What is the current status of Zephyr's governance and how does it protect against a single company's control?
Zephyr uses a TSC and elected chairs with community input, allowing broad participation and preventing domination by one entity, while ensuring leadership continuity through elections and shared decision-making.
