Keeping things cool with IoT monitoring
Every time the door to a milk cooler or freezer does not close properly, an alarm goes off on a computer screen in a control building in Odense, Denmark, thanks to an "internet of things" monitoring solution. AK-Centralen provides continually-supervised alarm...

Network topology guide for IoT
A network topology is how computers, printers and other devices are connected, and describes the layout of wires, devices and routing paths on a network. When referring to topology through the lens of the "internet of thigs," it is how sensors, actuators...

What is ZigBee?
ZigBee is a low-power wireless local area network (WLAN) specification that was designed to provide small amounts of data using very little power, with most connected devices running off of a battery. Because of this, the open standard has been linked with...
The fuel to IIoT: LPWAN
Low-power, wide-area networks (LPWAN) are the response to the need for reliable, efficient, easy to deploy connectivity to help unlock the potential of the internet of things. According to Ingenu, which licenses RPMA, 86% of all current IoT devices use less than 3...
Straight to mmWave? Not so fast
It is becoming increasingly accepted that mmWave (extremely high frequency), the frequencies in the spectrum between 30 Ghz and 300 Ghz, will define 5G networks. But there are still problems to be solved with mmWave before it is ready...
Just about everyone is familiar with Bitcoin, or at least knows of its controversial history. Behind the most popular and polarizing cryptocurrency in existence is blockchain, a framework that could revolutionize the internet of things. Blockchain differs from most IoT solutions in that it...
Steps to becoming a telecommunications engineer
With "5G" standards in the works and an estimated 20.8 billion connected "internet of things" devices in use by 2020, telecommunications engineers have never been needed more. Now that we know what telecommunications engineering is, it is time to find out how...

Background
The telecommunications industry is the backbone of today's mobile landscape, deploying voice, data, graphics and video at ever increasing speeds and in a growing number of ways. Wireline telephone communication was once the primary service of the industry, now wireless communication and satellite distribution are...
European carriers seem to be emphasizing the “Long” in "Long Term Evolution" technology. While the region is home to some of the world's biggest economies, it continues to trail other developed markets in adopting LTE-based high-speed mobile technology, often referred to as 4G.
In South...
EE, which has the biggest and arguably the most complained about mobile network in the U.K., just earned top honors in RootMetrics' latest performance report. The research firm tested more than 920,000 locations throughout the U.K., testing networks for reliability, speed, mobile Internet, call performance and text...
