MSFT contract/privacy tweaks & associated PR spin ahead of EDPS investigation?
SIgnificant Systems & Commercial user expansion of the Intel Neuromorphic (Deep AI) programme, adding to existing 80+ collaborators/community members from research and academic backgrounds etc. Some heavy hitters adding credibility?
STM32 developers can now create LoRa endpoint devices that support FUOTA for STM32L4 microcontrollers. These MCUs can update using the Secure Boot and Secure Firmware Update solution. Updates may include corrections for potential issues and new feature additions.

Anyone using NN’s to classify and analyse their IoT/LoRaWAN delivered data?
Need to know more about Perceptrons?..an earlier article from the same site:
Fascinated to watch my son experiementing with GAN’s (Generative Adversarial Networks) at Uni & Research sites… seems to be some meat behind all this NN/AI puff! 
Targeting MPPT Solar efficiencies and other energy sources…for IoT Nodes.
Trying to ensure Mr Trump & friends can’t veto supply/support to meet own needs? (Though ironic given origin in DARPA funding!)

Sigfox debuts ‘private area network,’ or PAN
One of the Sigfox core messages was ‘one network’ in association with local or regional SNO’s… is this the start of fragmentation?

Semtech (SMTC) Earnings & Revenues Beat Estimates in Q3
From the Zacks article;-
…industrial and communications end markets increased 2% and 1% sequentially, representing 34% and 10% of the total revenues, respectively. Revenues from the industrial market decreased, as growth from the LoRa business was offset by broad industrial weakness. This represented 34% of total net revenues.
Lora growth continues as we might expect 
Full financial summary:
Always interesting to see what ‘the competition’ are up to!
New servers systems in NW US, NL & SIngapore…
Now 16 deployment sites globally…
Wilhelmsen support 20,000 ships out of 2200 ports in 70 countries…nice win for LoraWAN… & for TTi
Its not just TTN Celebrating key milestones - 10k (10,000) Active GW's >94K Members :-)
Good to see the much loved Raspberry Pi Family hit another milestone with >30Mu sold since 2012! 
Lightweight hardware capabilities for many IoT devices lead to weak/guessable encryption keys - poor true randomiszation?
Not a big suprise. Consider using a dedicated ‘secure’ element in your designs?

LoRaWAN and Wi-Fi: Made for Each Other
Wi-Fi and LoRaWAN work well together as an end-to-end solution in IoT applications and more.
A bit of a Semtech PR puff piece but contains some interesting stats on the potential for WiFi assisted geolocation/resolution.
Uses 3/4 18650 batteries, Approx $200 plus case, ant etc…
Lacuna LS1 up and running and in use feeding into TTN
