👨💻 By Technical Support Team Valtoris IIoT & Connectivity Research Published: June 2026 Legacy PLC integration remains the ultimate hurdle, even as the industrial sector is currently consumed by an aggressive hardware and software frenzy. Every quarter, technology conglomerates unveil hyper-powerful AI servers, edge computing nodes, and cloud-native predictive maintenance platforms. These modern systems promise…
The global smart agriculture market is valued at $286.5 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $550-600 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 10-12%. A significant driver of this growth is the need for real-time data from remote fields, greenhouses, and livestock facilities. According to IoT Analytics, 40–50% of agricultural IoT devices…
Why Remote Monitoring Matters More Than Ever The global district heating market is worth a lot of money around 800 to 1,000 billion dollars in 2024. The global district heating market is expected to get bigger every year, 5 to 7 percent. But here is the thing the global district heating market can be improved….
Industrial cellular modems (sometimes called DTUs) do one thing: they take data from serial devices—PLCs, sensors, meters—and send it over cellular networks. This is a simple idea. However when you are trying to pick the industrial cellular modem for a real world installation that is where things can get really tough. You have to think…
When a remote site goes offline in a SCADA system, the alarm isn’t just a blip on a screen. It’s a potential production stoppage, a regulatory reporting gap, or—in worst cases—a safety event. According to HMS Networks’ 2024 Industrial Network Market Report , industrial Ethernet now accounts for 76% of new network installations, while Modbus TCP holds a…
If you’re looking into IoT cellular modems, you’re likely beyond the stage of just wondering what they are. You’re probably evaluating them for a real project—connecting remote sensors, automating equipment, or bringing a legacy system online. The basic definition is easy to find, but what you really need is a deep understanding of why a dedicated IoT modem…
Here’s a number that changes how you should think about cellular connectivity for industrial equipment: 68% . That’s the share of industrial cellular deployments that now use integrated modem‑router devices—a single box that handles both serial‑to‑cellular conversion and local network routing. In 2020, that figure was 45%. The shift happened fast, and it’s driven by a simple reality:…
If you are here you need an complete answer on LTE modems. This guide tells you about the basics of LTE modems. Also gives you the details you need. It covers the principles of LTE modems and gives you step by step instructions on how to connect LTE modems, for industrial LTE modem applications and…
Industrial 4G LTE Modems: The Backbone of Remote Data Acquisition When your critical infrastructure—whether it’s a remote pump station, a solar farm inverter, or a legacy PLC—is located miles away from the nearest Ethernet drop, traditional hardwiring is physically and financially impossible. This is where an industrial 4G LTE modem becomes indispensable. Far beyond a…
Let’s be honest. When you hear about connectivity, all the buzz is about 5G—blazing speeds, self-driving cars, and futuristic tech. It’s easy to wonder if anything labeled “4G” is already on its way out. But here is the reality that does not make headlines: when it comes to powering the not so exciting backbone of…
