Webinar: The Emergence of a Utility LAN to the Connected Enterprise
When we think of the Local Area Network (LAN), we typically think of devices that have traditionally been Ethernet-enabled – desktop computers, Voice-over-IP (VoIP) phones and more recently, wireless access points. What we are now seeing is the emergence of a uLAN, or Utility LAN. Like the traditional LAN, the uLAN is an interconnected set of devices that share data within the enterprise. But the uLAN is comprised of non-traditional Ethernet-enabled devices – lighting, HVAC, security, and AV systems – that are now being connected and powered by the IP network. The uLAN enables you to integrate systems to reduce installation and maintenance costs, and capture actionable analytics to further improve efficiency, and improve productivity and the overall user experience.
igus Single Pair Ethernet cable for energy chains |
Every day, sensors generate vast amounts of data worldwide and this continues to rise. Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) technology offers completely new opportunities to transmit these data streams reliably even in the most confined areas of the machine. Developed for use in energy chains, igus introduces the chainflex CFBUS.PUR.042 SPE cable.
E-Book: Single Pair Ethernet explained easily
Download this free e-book from Harting to better understand the benefits of Single Pair Ethernet for IIoT. From the smallest sensor to the cloud: SPE enables the barrier-free transmission of data via Ethernet over just one pair of cables with up to 1 GBit/s and with ranges of up to 1000 meters, offering the ideal infrastructure for IIoT and Industry 4.0.SPE makes the field level smart. Devices, cables and connection technology become more powerful, smaller and more robust.
The Competition Surrounding 800 Gigabit Ethernet
The high demand for technologies for faster FO data transmission in hyperscale data centers has triggered a whole range of developments. The manufacturer consortia – called MSAs (Multi-Source Agreements) – are working at high pressure on new specifications, which focus on the roadmap from 400 to 800 Gigabit Ethernet (800G). The cloud industry is waiting for new, faster optical connectivity. It is expected that cloud companies will need usable 800G modules by 2023-2024 to be able to increase the transmission performance in their data centers.
Pro Optix unveils Pro MINI, Pro NANO WDMs for data center networks
Swedish optical connectivity developer Pro Optix has announced a pair of WDM series. The Pro MINI high-density series and the Pro NANO ultra-high-density series provide data center network operators with densities that are 300% and 600% greater, respectively, than traditional WDM alternatives, the company asserts.
Digital twins: Bridging the physical and digital
Digital twins are multiplying as their capabilities grow. But realizing their full promise may require integrating data across entire ecosystems. Today, companies are using digital twin capabilities in a variety of ways. For example, in remarkable feat of smart-city management, Singapore uses a detailed virtual model of itself in urban planning, maintenance, and disaster readiness projects.
Designing smart buildings
A smart building aspires to be agile, responsive and adaptive to its users. Data generated by the building should continuously inform system operation, enabling the building to take proactive steps, anticipating user needs and optimizing target outcomes. Smart buildings use converged networks during operation to connect a variety of subsystems, which traditionally operate independently, so that these systems can share information to enhance total building performance.
7 ways the Internet of Things is Changing Our Lives?
Considered by some to be the most important development of the 21st century, there’s no doubt that the Internet of Things (IoT) is going to be impactful. What’s less clear is when and how. We’ve got a list of seven examples of how IoT has – or may potentially – change our lives.
