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.
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.

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?
If you’re into developing products for the Internet of Things, the term OTA Update (OTAU) might have crossed your path. It’s a feature to remotely deliver updated software to your products without having physical access to it. It comes in handy to keep your customer devices up-to-date or to upsell new services later on.
