Daniel Newman, a founding partner and Chief Analyst at Futurum Research, shares his insights on Amazon’s announcement that Sidewalk is now open for developers. He gives a brief overview of what Amazon Sidewalk is, the three key wireless technologies it’s using including Semtech’s LoRa® technology, and what it means for device connectivity and consumer IoT. 

He also covers some of the first third-party Amazon Sidewalk products, which are now available, that were also announced today.

The Embedded Insiders briefly review the results of an IoT developer survey from the Eclipse Foundation, which found that two-thirds of engineers are currently or plan to launch an IoT project in the next 18 months (https://iot.eclipse.org/iot-developer-surveys/). Given the pervasiveness of IoT, does that even mean anything anymore?

Afterward, the Insiders slide into a discussion of wide-area networks prompted by Alix Paultre's recent engagements with The Things Network. Do recent announcements in 5G have any impact on the advancement of LoRa-based technologies such as those developed by The Things Network, or is there still ample market opportunity? Will Semtech's LoRa monopoly stifle the industry, or help it grow sustainably?
