IoT protocols and communication standards refer to the vast network of devices that are connected to the Internet and can exchange data with each other. Learn more about IoT software development ...

As wireless operator networks carry more multimedia traffic, they must solve a basic problem: how to ensure that each application receives the appropriate level of service. Each layer of a multilayer ...

The IIoT is at the basis of the so-called Smart Factories, new advanced manufacturing units of the fourth industrial revolution. Smart sensors, super-fast connections, artificial intelligence ...

To design communications systems, an engineer may have to juggle several protocols running across a backplane. There are several common strategies to handling the interface for those protocols.

The technology started with 10-Mb/s coax cabling (10BASE5). Twisted-pair and RJ45 connectors quickly replaced that, while fiber optics was implemented for high-speed, long-distance communication.

Passive testing and monitoring of communication protocols is an increasingly critical area in systems engineering, where non-intrusive observation techniques ensure that interactions between ...

Time-sensitive networking (TSN) is poised to have the biggest impact on industrial networking since Ethernet was introduced to the plant floor more than two decades ago. “The goal is to ensure a ...

In a previous article, I discussed the vulnerabilities in IoT networks, illustrating that traditional security measures fall short in addressing their unique challenges. I also briefly introduced ...

Once again, too many standards are vying for dominance in solving a relatively simple problem. The IT industry needs to break this counterproductive pattern. You know the routine: The IT industry, ...
