By John Leonard December 14, 2016 Firefighters, security guards and health workers routinely risk their lives whilst trying to protect people and their property from harm. It’s vital that risks are minimized as much as possible. Technological advances present new ways to help meet this need. A firefighter enters a burning office block to try to save workers…
By Stefano Moioli, Director Product Management Cellular, u-blox Developers of the first analogue cellular networks that began to proliferate in the 1980s would be amazed to see how far cellular technology has advanced in the intervening thirty years or so – if they’d been entirely out of the loop in the meantime. While their networks…
For any industrial IoT application, ensuring signal integrity is crucial for safety and operational reliability. However, even the most robust system has many attack surfaces that are vulnerable to would‑be hackers’ intent on compromising a system. This is unacceptable for high‑reliability systems in general, but as more contextual information gets added, including time and position,…
