Wildfires across the globe are worsening. They are growing larger, becoming more intense and frequent, and even creating their own weather – from Australia to North America, from the Arctic to Africa. According to a United Nations report, Climate change and land-use change are projected to make wildfires more frequent and intense, with a global increase of extreme fires of up to 14 percent by 2030, 30 percent by the end of 2050, and 50 percent by the end of the century. For this episode – which will air for Earth Day – we have invited Carsten Brinkschulte, CEO of Dryad.

A critical aspect of IoT that is often overlooked but critical for connecting the unconnected: is satellite IoT. With the growing demand for reliable and secure connectivity in remote and underserved areas, satellite IoT is increasingly important in bridging the gap and providing real-time access to critical information and data. We'll discuss the evolution of satellite IoT, its key concepts and technologies, real-world use cases and benefits, and future trends that are likely to emerge. Our guest this week is Gianluca Redolfi, CCO at Sateliot. #satellite #iot #leo #wetalkiot Summary of this week's episode: (01:49) Introductions (03:36) The Satellite IoT landscape and market (07:18) The concept of satellite IoT (09:14) Technology trends (13:33) Use cases and benefits (17:37) The challenges for satellite IoT (20:38) Looking into the future Show notes: Gianluca Redolfi: https://www.linkedin.com/in/redolfi/ Sateliot: https://sateliot.space/en/ About Avnet Silica: This podcast is brought to you by Avnet Silica - The Engineers of Evolution.
