How Good Is Your Data?


Machines can be taught by other machines. They also can talk to other machines on their own, with no human intervention, which is the great attraction of the Internet of Things. Sensor clusters or other trucks can pass along critical data that alerts a multi-trailered truck to slow down or take a different route. And sensors feeding a variety of data, such as temperature or vibration, can is... » read more

The Week In Review: IoT


Analysis The Internet of Trains? That’s how Siemens sees its work in railroads, utilizing Big Data analytics and Internet of Things technology. “Sensors on an Internet of Trains system monitor everything from engine temperature, to the open or closed state of doors, to vibrations on the rails, and even image data from outside of the trains using cameras,” Bernard Marr writes in this anal... » read more

The Week In Review: IoT


R&D National Instruments this week opened the NI Industrial Internet of Things Lab at its headquarters in Austin, Texas. NI and Real-Time Innovations are co-leading the Industrial Internet Consortium’s Industrial Internet of Things Microgrid Testbed, which will be hosted at the NI Industrial Internet of Things Lab. The testbed uses the Data Distribution Service standard and is working to dev... » read more

Waiting For 5G Technology


For some time, carriers, equipment OEMs and chipmakers have been gearing up for the next-generation wireless standard called 5th generation mobile networks, or 5G. 5G is the follow-on to the current wireless standard known as 4G, or long-term evolution (LTE). It will enable data transmission rates of more than 10Gbps, or 100 times the throughput of LTE. But the big question is whether 5G wil... » read more

Evolving LTE Brings New Era Of Connectivity To IoT


The Internet of Things is here and ramping deployment today, but there’s still considerable work underway to optimize many aspects of the network. Not the least of this are the access technologies that exist or are emerging to enable the ‘last mile’ connectivity for IoT connected objects. Wireless access broadly fits into two main areas: licensed band and unlicensed band. Short-range unli... » read more

Valor IoT Manufacturing: The Internet Of Things For Electronics Manufacturing


What does the “Internet of Things” mean for electronics manufacturing? In this white paper, you will learn how your organization can overcome the bottleneck of establishing efficient machine-to-machine and machine-to-human communication. Standardized data exchange over distributed servers to many different access points is what makes the Internet effective and useful. Similarly, for t... » read more

M2M Vs. IoE


For some time now, there has been discussion that the IoE is really nothing more than the M2M infrastructure with a new coat of paint. Are M2M and the [getkc id="260" comment="Internet of Everything"] really just different generations of the same family, or are they completely different? This is more than just a philosophical question. The answer affects everything from technology investmen... » read more

Network Challenges Ahead


The Internet of Everything will require a new breed of networks to handle data from billions of devices quickly and securely, but how exactly that will happen isn't completely clear. The terms "high performance" and "high security" are generally incompatible in the networking world because the security technology in use today bogs down network performance. To have a high level of security re... » read more

Interference In The Car


Once again, a paradigm shift is upon us. Mobile connectivity has radically changed the automobile’s place in the world of connected everything. And that paradigm will shift even further once the IoE is in full bloom. As all of this unfolds and technology marches on, some see the connectivity of the automobile as being a better and more powerful alternative to the smartphone. It is touted a... » read more

Developing Effective Design Strategies for Today’s Wearable Devices: Power Management


As the next wave of wearable devices expands into a new class of revolutionary and innovative products, there will be a growing importance placed on the real-time operating system (RTOS) and corresponding middleware. Wearable System-on-Chip (SoC) processors require an operating system optimized for size and performance with power-efficient wireless connectivity options needed for machine-to-mac... » read more
