Series 18 – Episode 4 – shaping IoTs next chapter with antenna innovation
Summary
Drawing on more than two decades in the industry, O’Shea reflected on the progress and pain points of IoT adoption, and how antenna design continues to adapt in a rapidly evolving technology landscape. O’Shea emphasised the company’s close collaboration with customers, acting as an extension of their RF and antenna engineering teams to deliver optimised, reliable connectivity. “It costs customers money and slows down progress.” In parallel, emerging technologies such as AI, Edge computing, and the promise of 6G are influencing the development of IoT applications. The cumulative impact of technology sunsets, global supply chain issues, chip shortages, and evolving trade tariffs has created widespread fatigue. By focusing on practical innovation and industry partnerships, Taoglas continues to support the connectivity infrastructure needed to power the next generation of intelligent devices.
