Last year ETSI decided on a change in it’s goals for mobile edge computing, choosing to embrace not only synergistic 5G technologies and architectures, but also the numerous other types of fixed access networks. As Network goals continue to evolve and grow MNO’s (Mobile Network Operators) are edging closer and closer to real 5G …
The percentage of Ransomware has been steadily increasing, and due the the even greater proliferation of IoT devices, it has already managed to position itself as one of the main cybersecurity threats looming over 2017. Now that more and more devices are set to come online, the damage cybercriminals can do extends beyond monetary and …
2016 was a great year for most companies involved in augmented and virtual reality, and a significant percentage of consumers showed growing interests in the emerging technologies. This year is set to build upon last-year’s groundwork to create the most immersive virtual reality experiences yet. But there are still many things holding back its use outside …
2016 has been a great year for internet-enabled and embedded technology (the essence of IoT), and with ‘17 just around the corner it’s a good time to take a look at some of the Internet-empowered technologies that are soon to emerge, where they stand and the great changes they could bring with them. …
The Internet of Things has become an unstoppable wave threatening to transform all devices with Internet-enabling technology. In large deployments (i.e. industrial automation), where thousands of sensors constantly supply information, this has created a need for gateways capable of communicating in various low-power wireless technologies (Zigbee, Bluetooth LE, etc.), as well as collecting and processing …
Network computing infrastructure has been expanding for decades, and the network edge is no exception. When it comes to the expanding network edge, density is key; that’s why Intel’s Xeon D SoC processors have been steadily gaining favor. Servers, hot storage(instant access data- ie profile images) and network appliances(firewalls, access points) are being given more …
With IoT sensor networks starting to develop, the Smart cities of the future are set to become reality. By blurring the lines between our physical world and cyber systems we can greatly increase our leverage of machines and computing capabilities to help facilitate and automate every aspect of our lives. The IoT Sensors The actual …
Predictive maintenance techniques are getting ready to develop beyond human-assisted inspection and correction, into self-maintaining and eventually self-sufficient machines. Industry 3.0 brought information technology into automation, now industry 4.0 is set to take technology further to leverage advantages from things like Big Data, virtualization, cloud and the IoT(Internet of Things). For manufacturing the IoT is …
Connecting more and more services and devices to the internet sets the stage for the smart cities of the future, but at the same time it creates dangerous new opportunities for cyber criminals. 1. DDOS – Distributed Denial of Service Attacks Even without 6-figure zero-day exploits and nation-state resources, hackers can employ easily-attainable botnets powered …
With the continuous development of communications technologies, big data-augmented predictive analytics and machine learning, emerging Cyber-Physical systems (CPS) could be the next big step towards self-sufficient machines. But that’s just one exciting new direction to take artificial intelligence, and with processors smaller and cheaper than ever, machines are getting ready to start taking on predictive …
