Transition Networks will work with New York City’s transportation agency to connect, power and manage traffic data via its hardened TAA-compliant, Power-over-Ethernet (PoE+) switches. This application brings intelligent transportation infrastructure citywide and reinforces the relevance and timeliness of Transition Networks’ strategy of developing smart city Internet of Things (IoT) solutions.
Anixter has entered an agreement with an affiliate of private-investment firm Clayton, Dubilier and Rice (CD&R) to be acquired in an all-cash transaction valued at approximately $3.8 billion. Anixter expects the deal, which will take the company private, to close by the end of 2020’s first quarter but is still actively shopping other offers.
Find out how Penn State securely connected and isolated their building controls across 640 buildings in record time, using IIoT micro-segmentation. Download this case study sponsored by Tempered Networks.
For commercial building owners and operators looking to find ways to become more energy efficient, identifying your biggest energy offender is a great place to start. According to a study published by the Department of Energy, on average 40% of energy costs in commercial buildings go to HVAC. With this in mind, finding the right HVAC controls solution is crucial to helping commercial buildings manage energy spend.
Each generation of Wi-Fi arrives like the tide, slowly building up, not arriving all at once, but unstoppable nevertheless. Cisco has been preparing for Wi-Fi 6 for some time now. The standard is finalized. 802.11ax (aka Wi-Fi 6) certification of radios, access points, and controllers is underway. Manufacturers are busy incorporating Wi-Fi 6 chipsets into their new products.Whether your organization is expanding with new buildings, adding employees, or moving to cloud services, upgrading to Wi-Fi 6 will provide many immediate benefits and prepare for future growth.
The Internet of Things promises a transformative impact on a wide range of industries, but along with that promise comes an enormous new level of complexity for the network and those in charge of maintaining it. For the major mobile data carriers in the U.S., that fact suggests an opportunity. This article looks at the pros and cons of letting the carriers take on the burden of IoT implementation.
IIoT has been slow to take hold, with some pilot projects sputtering out, and many industries hesitant to commit to the large-scale investments needed to bring about true transformation. One recent survey revealed that 61 percent of business leaders believe we have barely begun to scratch the surface of what this technology can do, but even with a positive outlook, progress is slow with many stops-and-starts. However, a number of developments may be pointing to a breakthrough in the near future.
If you’re working with Industrial Ethernet, you should know that cabling is by far the number one cause of failures. Watch this webinar replay to learn how to prevent and troubleshoot cabling.
This webinar replay reviews twisted pair cabling standards, cabling issues and testers for pre-deployment and troubleshooting.
Judging by the amount of traffic many people face on their morning commutes, anticipating demand and traffic flow is often the greatest stumbling block. My daily commute to work is a prime example: I’m stuck in the traffic on a six-lane highway where it converges into just two lanes ahead. As the car inches forward each time, I find myself repeating in my head “Who designed this highway?” Clearly, I didn’t think this was the most brilliant approach to improve traffic flow. Data center managers go through similar thinking processes when designing the network. The design stage is critical; it practically decides the outcome of a project, and most importantly, whether the investments are fully maximized.
The rollouts for 5G will be expensive, but analytics and machine learning can help operators plan their 5G rollouts in the most effective and customer-centric ways. Here are three ways how: Troubleshooting 5G network performance; Scheduling beamforming in massive MIMO networks to maximize capacity and coverage investments; and improving the positioning of indoor base stations.
