First responders, including firefighters, EMS, police officers, etc., need a highly reliable and available network. They need to transfer and receive data from and to their fleets, and they need this to work autonomously and efficiently. For example, an EMS ambulance on the way to the hospital should be capable of transferring all patient’s data …
Network virtualization is changing the rules of how services are delivered. Network applications can now be delivered to the cloud, data center, or at the edge from a central location and through different connections. SD-WAN is one of those virtualization (software-based) technologies capable of delivering virtualized resources to the WAN, whether connections are broadband or …
Most traditional buildings were designed to be maintained and monitored by humans— all their “habitat” components, including energy, water, spacing, security, disposal, have to always run on-demand. A poorly designed building may lead into unhappy and unproductive occupants, and high utility bills. But now, smart buildings introduce a new approach. These buildings can solve their …
Bonding routers combine two or more Internet connections. These routers do, what in the networking world, is referred to as link aggregation. Other names used within this context are bandwidth bonding, channel bonding, and WAN bonding. There are two very significant benefits of using an Internet Bonding Appliance: improving bandwidth where a single connection might …
Ironically one of the reasons why the police department would be pushed to install police in-car surveillance camera systems on all their patrolling units was not necessarily to deter and reduce theft and vandalism. But it was actually a requirement by the governments in order to provide 24×7 with video evidence. Video is fantastic for …
The purpose of intelligent tank monitoring systems is to keep track of the tank’s content level with metrics like temperature and pressure. These systems use a combination of state-of-the-art communication’s technology and intelligent edge analytics. A remote tank monitoring solution lets you keep track of the tank liquid’s level and temperature from anywhere in the …
A couple of years ago, people relied more on cable or satellite TV than on live streaming over IP. While watching a Saturday-night football game on their Internet-based live broadcast platform with a “few seconds delay,” they would get their game ruined when hearing the neighbors cheering for a touchdown on their old cable TV. …
The first time a 3D-printed metal part was used on a commercial aircraft was back in 2014. At that time, the Airbus company produced a titanium bracket on a 3D printer and installed it on an Airbus test aircraft. Thanks to that successful rapid prototype created by Airbus, the entire industry begun to evolve. Ensuring …
The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is a robust and feature-rich signaling mechanism for controlling voice, video, and messaging sessions. Most Real-Time Communications (RTC) use this protocol to establish communication between hosts. But the SIP protocol doesn’t come without challenges. Although SIP vendors follow compliance, they create systems that are not compatible with each other. This …
Manufacturers monitor CNC machines mainly to keep track of their efficient work time and count the units produced. Additional monitoring tasks may also include keeping an eye on the machine’s operational status and looking for deficient and worn out parts that could lead to significant overhauls. A comprehensive CNC monitoring solution should leverage novel smart …
