Comcast’s MachineQ gets serious about the IoT

Fresh with a new website, expansion plans and a far more clearly defined pitch to potential customers, it’s apparent that Comcast’s MachineQ is transitioning from a concept to an actual product that the cable giant is selling to real customers. For example, Comcast’s MachineQ is now promising customers it will build out a LoRa-based IoT network in other markets beyond its current 15, and is urging IoT shoppers to “bring us your connectivity needs and we’ll customize a coverage plan  for your region and solution.” The company also offers guides and devices for customers wishing to build out a new IoT service – as well as a “conversion guide” that allows customers to switch from an existing IoT service to one that uses LoRa.
