How To Run Bluetooth PCM Loopback Test


Bluetooth device manufacturing involves ensuring the quality and performance of devices. One key test that’s used to verify the functionality of Bluetooth devices is the Bluetooth PCM lookback test, which ensures that both the hardware and software of the Bluetooth chip are operating correctly. What is the Bluetooth PCM lookback test? A Bluetooth pulse code modulation (PCM) lookback test... » read more

How Security Regulation Can Help Grid Stability


Grid stability is at risk. The advent of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), such as solar, wind, and batteries, has increased the attack surface of energy generation. While cities once had few power plants, they now host thousands of smaller, intermittent sources. These DERs are often managed by entities without uptime requirements. At the same time, traditional energy sources face greater de... » read more
