The Internet of Things (IoT) has traditionally depended on a simple model — devices connect to an available network, transmit data and wait for instructions or analysis. The artificial intelligence of things (AIoT) is changing that model. By combining AI with IoT infrastructure, AIoT devices can analyse data, recognise patterns and make decisions with less…
Cybersecurity organisation CREST has launched a new accreditation aimed at helping organisations assess whether providers have the expertise to test AI-enabled systems securely, as generative AI and large language models become embedded in business applications. The Security Testing of AI standard sets independently assessable requirements for cybersecurity service providers, giving buyers a way…
Industry groups have welcomed Openreach’s plans to bring next-generation full-fibre broadband to more than 1m UK premises over the next 12 months, as AI, Cloud services and connected devices drive up demand for data. But the reaction also underlines that faster fibre connections are only one part of the infrastructure needed to support an increasingly…
Morse Micro has added Chicago-based engineering company Pace Wireless to its Wi-Fi HaLow Design Partner Programme as the low-power wireless technology seeks to move from development projects into commercial IoT deployments. Pace Wireless will provide product development and manufacturing expertise to companies building devices around Morse Micro’s Wi-Fi HaLow silicon, covering the process from…
The Broadband Forum has launched a new interface designed to give broadband service providers and application developers a unified way to manage Matter-enabled devices across smart-home networks. The Matter Service API, defined in the Broadband Forum’s TR-517 standard, provides a common interface for accessing Matter-powered devices regardless of manufacturer. The organisation said the API will…
Every IoT deployment starts with a simple promise: your devices will stay connected, wherever they are. The technology supporting that promise has developed rapidly in the last few years, but for the businesses actually running these deployments, network performance is only part of the equation. Connectivity also needs to be reliable, manageable and supported when…
For many years, embedded system design followed a relatively stable pattern. Engineers selected hardware, chose an operating system, and built application logic on top. Systems were typically self-contained, and architectural decisions could be made within clearly defined boundaries. As connectivity became standard and IoT adoption increased, that model began to break down. The industry shifted…
Researchers at Germany’s Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Media Technology (IDMT) have developed an acoustic sensing system that uses machine learning to detect and locate drones by their characteristic sound patterns. The technology, which is set to be demonstrated at the Drone Days show in Germany later this month, uses machine learning to identify the characteristic…
Researchers in the US are attempting to connect data from sensors monitoring the brain, muscles and movement with a bilateral wearable exoskeleton, in an effort to give stroke survivors a more active role in their own rehabilitation. Academics at Rice University and UTHealth Houston are looking to test the exoskeleton on stroke survivors, allowing a…
Cybersecurity experts are warning that so-called “evil twin” attacks on planes and other publicly-accessible Wi-Fi systems can create an overlooked attack surface for connected devices, after passengers returning from a hacking conference in Las Vegas apparently made a rogue network appear on a Delta Air Lines flight. According to Delta Airlines, an unauthorised Wi-Fi network…
KIOXIA Europe a subsidiary of KIOXIA Holdings Corporation and Sandisk Corporation unveiled their next-generation Quad-Level-Cell (QLC) 3D flash memory technology, which delivers up to 60% increase in bit density compared to their 8th-generation, surpassing 37 Gb/mm² and setting the industry benchmark for bit density, performance and power efficiency. Leveraging the companies’ revolutionary CMOS…
Britain’s solar eclipse will do more than give millions of people a reason to observe the skies this evening. For two hours tonight, it will also put the country’s smart home energy infrastructure to work, as connected devices help manage a temporary drop in solar generation at a time when electricity demand is rising. Energy…
