You already know what you want to achieve? Then you are ready for technology decisions. There are loads of concepts and technologies out there. Here we point out the pros and cons for the relevant set of IoT technologies.
A team of researchers of the University of Birmingham have developed a new biosolar cell that could be used to power small and low power devices in the Internet of Things. At the moment, the battery could provide an estimated four-day power supply which is a big step forward compared to similar biofuel cells, that only last a few hours so far.
As if voice control via Alexa isn’t already scary enough for many: The American company Nūrio goes one step further. The company announced a so-called “EEG device” in the form of an ear stud for mid-2020, with which IoT devices can be controlled – by thought.
In contrast to the IT sector, where new developments are planned and executed at least once a year, the housing industry is somewhat more leisurely in terms of planning, construction and operation. As a rule, planning is made in decades instead of quarters. And yet: the housing industry will not avoid digitization either. But how can both be brought together in a sustainable and future-proof way?
The Californian Semtech Corporation will supply the Dortmund-based Lemonbeat GmbH with LoRa technology for its smart metering solutions in the future.
The Internet of Things is growing rapidly. Millions, if not billions, of new devices will be connected worldwide in the coming years. This confronts the Internet with new challenges to master. Due to its architecture and technologies, the World Wide […]
Keeping our cities clean with smart waste bins: Intelligent waste management with smart containers could avoid overfilled waste bins and saving municipalities a lot of money. Harald Naumann, engineer in information electronics, explains how.
IoT-Development: The multitude of different (radio) technologies confronts companies with the challenge of selecting the optimum networking technology for their IoT solution. The radio technology decision should follow the business decision.
The building automation industry supports a number of rival control networking technologies that can be used to connect and control many diverse types of devices and appliances made by many different manufacturers. Does the IoT threaten the future of building automation the way we know it?
Are inaudible Voice Commands, so called “Dolphin Attacks”, a serious threat for voice controlled smart devices? A team of Chinese researchers published a paper explaining how they used ultrasonic commands, inaudible for the human ear, to take over the control of popular devices such as Amazon Alexa, Google Now or Siri from Apple.
In the Internet of Things, large amounts of data need to be transferred and processed quickly. However, the cloud with its relatively narrow bandwidth is overwhelmed with it – edge computing as data processing on-site is getting increasingly important. Is the end of the cloud getting closer?
