The Biden Administration has led a charge on establishing ambitious environmental goals for the future, whether that’s EV infrastructure investments or plans to transition half the energy grid to solar power. These high profile commitments from the administration have put a spotlight on our country’s sustainability efforts as a whole, which still lags behind other industrialized nations. The most recent studies from Yale and Columbia universities put the US at 24th in environmental performance.

Per usual, we wanted to know: where does cutting edge technology fit into raising that performance? How will we measure and track the reduction of greenhouse emissions in the atmosphere, and how will we monitor the switch of our grid from coal to green energy effectively? We turned to the founder of Green Econometrics, Michael Davies, to get insight into how IoT sensors can help achieve sustainability goals for the US, as well as support general health and safety.

Mapbox says Traffic 2.0 gets arrival times right on 98% of trips

Mapbox says Traffic 2.0 gives accurate ETAs on 98% of trips. For logistics and field teams, the value is fresh road and place data AI agents can act on.

  • 01Traffic 2.0 claims accurate ETAs on 98% of trips, a vendor figure fleet teams can benchmark against ETA accuracy on their own lanes.
  • 02An AI agent that reroutes a driver is only as useful as the traffic data underneath it; Mapbox's agentic mapping engine processes anonymized movement data from over 45,000 applications.

Telit Cinterion shows LTE-linked RTK GNSS demo; 1–2 cm in testing

Telit Cinterion shows LTE-linked RTK GNSS demo; 1–2 cm in testing

At The Things Conference in Amsterdam, Telit Cinterion demonstrated a CMB100 LTE Cat 1 bis kit feeding Swift Navigation correction data into its SE868K5-RTK receiver. The receiver averaged 1-2 centimeters in testing. In a finished product, performance still depends on signal level and antenna quality.

  • 01The CMB100 cellular setup fed Skylark Nx RTK corrections to the SE868K5-RTK receiver, which averaged 1-2 cm in testing.
  • 02Demo figures come from controlled testing; the receiver's own launch materials say final performance depends on signal level and antenna quality, so product enclosures and antenna placement need their own validation.
