Welcome to IoT SIMple Bites—the podcast where SIMCom takes the complicated world of IoT bytes, breaks it down into something you can actually sink your teeth into.
Here’s the deal: IoT is full of complex bytes—those tricky data streams, technical specs, and fast-moving trends that can make your head spin. But our modules? They’re built to simplify that chaos, turning those bytes into smooth, reliable connections. And this podcast? It’s the same idea. We’re taking those heavy topics—5G in IoT, edge computing, industry trends—and serving them up in 15-30 minute bites.
In EP07 of IoT SIMple Bites, hosts Mia and David unpack the 2025 memory and PCB price wave sweeping IoT manufacturing: from AI servers squeezing out mid- and low-end capacity and the triple lock of wafer expansion cycles, to the knock-on impact on shared e-bikes, smart metering, and industrial gateways; and how a stripped-down 4G + 5G RedCap dual-mode module like the SIMCom A8232E lets customers fight inflation today while keeping a clean path to 5G RedCap tomorrow — subtracting from hardware, adding to the future.
