Geospatial Timeseries Data: Without It - Industrial AI Will Find Limits Too Soon
Research Paper No. 10
Thomas Scheibel / October 14, 2024
In this white paper, the author analyzes how geospatial time series data (GSTSD) can revolutionize industrial AI. GSTSD enables the optimization of dynamic, non-stationary processes by detecting complex patterns, predicting trends and supporting real-time decisions. Stationary approaches such as digital twins are reaching their limits, while GSTSD opens up new potential.
The white paper also sheds light on the role of GSTSD in the circular economy. They promote strategies such as resource recovery, product life extension and waste reduction. Despite challenges in data integration and data protection, GSTSDs offer companies sustainable competitive advantages and promote innovation in a dynamic, networked world.

Japan. A Silent Champion in Massive IoT.
Research Paper No. 9
Thomas Scheibel , Guillaume Noel / August 29, 2022
The white paper “Japan – A Silent Champion in Massive IoT” analyzes the success of 0G and Massive IoT in Japan. It shows how Japanese companies are improving existing technologies such as 0G and applying them worldwide. Japan has one of the densest 0G network coverages, supported by large corporations such as Kyocera. Especially in areas such as metering and tracking, millions of IoT sensors have been installed, making Japan a leading market for 0G.
It also emphasizes the role of Japanese companies in the global adoption of 0G solutions, particularly in the automotive and postal industries. The combination of 0G and LTE-M demonstrates Japan’s hybrid approach to maximizing IoT efficiency.

Carbon Reduction ↹ Climate Resilience: Friends or Foes?
Research Paper No. 8
Tomas Pavlicek, Thomas Scheibel / August 24, 2021
The white paper “Carbon Reduction ↹ Climate Resilience” by Heliot Group examines the trade-off between short-term climate adaptation and medium-term CO2 reduction. Companies are faced with the challenge of increasing their resilience to extreme weather events while at the same time having to reduce their CO2 emissions. These two goals are not always compatible and investment decisions need to be made with both factors in mind.
The paper emphasizes the role of IoT and 0G, particularly Sigfox technology, in addressing these challenges. 0G can help companies both improve their carbon footprint and strengthen their resilience to the effects of climate change by providing energy-efficient solutions and better data for decision-making.

The 5th Season - Viral "Winter"
Research Paper No. 8
Tomas Pavlicek, Thomas Scheibel / March 23, 2020
Heliot Group’s white paper “The 5th Season – Viral Winter” examines how pandemics such as COVID-19 can cause long-term changes to society and telecommunications infrastructure. The authors compare a pandemic to a new “season” that could return and emphasize the importance of being prepared for future pandemics. Telecommunications networks play a key role in coping with increased data traffic and online demand in times of crisis.
The paper argues that 0G networks can serve as a sustainable, efficient solution to offload primary communication networks and secure critical infrastructure. Heliot emphasizes that 0G, unlike 5G, consumes less energy and is more robust, making it better suited to monitor everyday objects in times of crisis and support social distancing.

"Video killed the Radio Star1"- Really? 0G as Complement to 5G / NB-IoT / LTE
Research Paper No. 7
Tomas Pavlicek, Thomas Scheibel / November 2, 2019
The concept presented in this paper analyzes the role of 0G and NB-IoT in IoT communication. The authors argue that 0G plays a complementary role to NB-IoT and 5G, especially in low data volume markets. 0G is characterized by low energy consumption variability and high efficiency, while NB-IoT is more suitable in applications with higher data requirements. Market segmentation is therefore based on data volume, with 0G offering a durable and cost-effective solution for low data volume markets.
The authors emphasize that NB-IoT has advantages for high data volumes, but is not economical in markets with low data volumes. 0G can serve as a backup solution for these cases and thus extend the service life of devices. Cyber security and energy costs should be considered when selecting a solution, as these strongly influence the actual operating costs.

0G as Universal Utility and Redundancy Layer
Research Paper No. 6
Martin Liboswar, Tomas Pavlicek, Thomas Scheibel / January 6, 2020
The concept presented in the paper describes 0G as a universal complement to other communication services such as 5G, NB-IoT, LTE and WiFi. The authors emphasize that 0G’s specific physical and architectural characteristics make it a sustainable and versatile solution that can serve as both a primary and backup solution. 0G is presented as an energy-efficient and cost-effective solution that is particularly suitable for low-volume data applications.
In addition, 0G offers a redundancy layer for higher bandwidth applications, which enables improved reliability and relieves the load on existing networks. By using unlicensed frequencies and complying with international standards, 0G offers an open, accessible and scalable alternative to conventional cellular communication systems.

Impact of 0G on Alternative Assets Management and Discharge of Fiduciary Duties through Alternative Data
Research Paper No. 5
Ludovic LeTouze, Tomas Pavlicek, Thomas Scheibel / September 8, 2019
The research paper “Impact of 0G on Alternative Assets Management” shows that 0G technology can significantly improve the management of alternative assets through real-time data. This technology increases efficiency, reduces risks and creates more transparency for investors and other stakeholders through immediate access to physical data. This speeds up decision-making processes and minimizes conflicts of interest.
Another advantage is increased cyber security, as 0G technology is not connected to the internet and is therefore protected against cyber attacks. In addition, 0G helps to better meet regulatory requirements and to fulfill fiduciary duties towards investors more efficiently.
