When we think about the User Experience (UX), many of us think about this in terms of applications and websites, but in today’s connected world, we also need to think about it in terms of IoT. However, designing for the Internet of Things presents some unique challenges for developers.
If you read our blog regularly, you know how devoted we are to IoT security. We have addressed the unique challenges that come with securing IoT devices, networks, and applications in the past. We are happy to report that machine learning (ML) is improving...
Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are a powerful light source typically used in visual light communications (VLC) systems. Traditional LEDs, however, are hard to break down and recycle.
Manufacturers have been turning to robotics over the past few years to automate repetitive tasks, increasing operational efficiency and reducing costs. While these benefits are still driving interest in robot workers, COVID-19 has introduced a new motivation—worker health.
Although spending on IoT has slowed a bit as a result of the pandemic, a return to double-digit growth rates is predicted for 2021. Many businesses are investing in IoT as one part of digital transformation, using IoT technology to create a more personalized and engaging customer experience and to create efficiencies on the production side.
More companies (large and small) are investing in smart product development. Customers are interested in smart products because they make their lives easier. If we look specifically at just smart home products, that market alone is expected to grow to $151.4 billion by 2024, representing a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of just over 12 percent from 2018 numbers.
In early April, the LoRa Alliance announced a new option that allows companies producing IoT devices to obtain LoRaWAN certification without requiring them to become members of the LoRaWAN. This new program will result in an increased number of LoRaWAN certified devices, which will positively impact organizations (and individuals) using IoT devices.
How IoT Technology Is Helping Detect Disease | SDS
Security is always of paramount importance when it comes to IoT devices, which is why we were thrilled to discover that GlobalPlatform has announced it will help IoT device makers and certification bodies adopt the security evaluation standard for IoT platforms (SESIP) methodology.
At SDS, we specialize in development and consulting for embedded systems and the Internet of Things (IoT) systems. We have worked with many clients on a wide range of projects over the years. We would like to share some of the most common questions (and their answers), so you can benefit from this knowledge as you consider projects revolving around IoT and embedded systems design and development.
How does a 90 percent reduction in data transmission delays on your IoT network sound? The new ‘EasyPass’ method being developed by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh takes advantage of resources not being fully utilized in a wireless channel to improve the connection for IoT devices on the network.
Some have described data as the “new oil,” but IoT transforms data into an even bigger opportunity. Unlike oil, data is not a finite resource, and IoT technology opens up infinite possibilities with what businesses can do with never-ending amounts of structured and unstructured data.
