Strategy
I’ve articulated my IoT strategy through presentations, articles, and projects
Speaking engagements
Mike has presented for a wide range of audiences at events and companies. I’d like him to present at your event, reach out via Twitter.
The first episode of the Bistrocast features a one-on-one talk with Mike Vladimer, the co-founder of Orange Silicon Valley’s IoT Studio. In this debut episode, Mike explains how he went from his previous role working on technology for missiles to his role at OSV, where he works with technology that enables connectivity for dog collars, bikes, and enterprise offices. In this episode, he discusses what people commonly misunderstand about IoT and what he sees successful IoT products doing correctly. Available on iTunes, Google Play, and Spotify .

All the Data in the History of the World
Season 1, Episode 5
The cost of technology has dropped so drastically that new information gathering and processing possibilities have led us to the Internet of Things. Mike Vladimer, Co-Founder of the Orange IoT Studio, talks about the data revolution and how IoT data and personalization can be harnessed to provide real value to humans and how he achieves this goal at Orange's IoT Studio.
IdeaScale wrote a summary article based on this podcast called The Data Revolution: A Look at the Value of IoT and Personalization for Humans.
In this episode of Tech News Weekly, Mike Vladimer presents the 20-80 Rule of Big Data, which explains the key to extracting value from IoT. The 20-80 Rule shows that a compelling IoT product identifies and completely solves a user's problem.
In this episode of the O’Reilly Hardware Podcast, Brian Jepson and Jeff Bleiel speak with Mike Vladimer.
Mike discusses how Internet of Things devices could benefit from connectivity options such as the LoRa wireless protocol, which supports long-range and lower-power applications.

On the Hardware Entrepreneur Podcast, Balint Horvath and Mike Vladimer had an in-depth discussion on a framework for thinking about this important hot topic - violate it at your own risk. They’ll talk about examples as well, such as how IoT is different from a conventional device like a garage door opener. He’ll moreover outline the four elements of a successful product, discuss our feelings towards IoT products vs our phone. Enjoy listening. - March 15, 2017
The DREAM
assets project
DREAM (Data Rules Everything Around Me) is a simple project for using Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons to track assets in a warehouse.
Building with LoRa
LoRa is an exciting new technology for communicating at Long Range, low power, and low cost. Mike and the IoT Studio developed this 3-hour quickstart project to promote the adoption of LoRa.
Collaboration with Verdigris
Mike grew the relationship between the Orange IoT Studio and Verdigris by using Verdigris’ technology to better understand energy consumption at Orange Silicon Valley and to find opportunities for energy and cost savings. In 2017, the IoT Studio worked with Verdigris to install and implement their energy management system. Verdigris provided insight on our energy consumption and has identified significant opportunities for Orange Silicon Valley to save on electric bills.
Collaboration with Sutro
Sutro makes an IoT device to ensure water quality; their first product uses WiFi communications to monitor residential pools and spas. Mike recognized Sutro’s outstanding IoT solution and created a partnership. To that end, the Sutro and IoT Studio teams collaborated on a proof-of-concept (POC) project where a Sutro device used LoRa communications.
