Given the maze of use cases and certifications, these four factors are essential to think through when planning your IoT medical device: Single Use vs. ReUsable, Software & Firmware, Security under HIPPA and Certification standards.
In this interview with TIA’s Harry Smeenk, reviews how TIA has taken 5G and IoT, and network evolution and next-generation networking, and put them into use-case examples for edge data centers and smart buildings.
Verizon has installed 5G Ultra Wideband service in Corning’s fiber optic cable manufacturing facility in Hickory, NC. Corning will use Verizon’s 5G technology to test how 5G can enhance functions such as factory automation and quality assurance in one of the largest fiber optic cable manufacturing facilities in the world. The companies are also working together to co-innovate new 5G-enabled solutions that can potentially revolutionize the way goods and services are produced.
To realize the potential of Smart Cities, we’re going to have to figure out the Municipal Internet-of-Things (IoT). We know “smart communities” will utilize an assortment of devices, networks, data and analytics – what we’ll call Municipal IoT. And we know these technologies collectively have the potential to improve many aspects of public service delivery. The best way for the public sector to start making the smart city movement a reality is also the most obvious. Public sector agencies should build and deploy their own IoT networks and identify, test, scale, and share use-cases and applications that are designed specifically to solve their challenges.
When IT pros from around the world come together to solve a problem with IoT for smart cities, everyone learns something new. Itron’s Smart City Challenge drew on the IoT expertise of tech startups from more than 20 countries to help the cities of London and Glasgow solve difficult challenges.
As vehicles, buildings, and in some cases, entire cities strive to become smarter and more connected, security becomes a bigger and bigger piece of the puzzle. The very applications that make people really excited about 5G, like drones delivering packages or autonomous vehicles, are the same applications that are the riskiest if they should become compromised.And in some cases, such as a hacker gaining control of smart traffic lights or compromising a smart hospital’s control system, these breaches could mean life or death, as MobileIron’s engineer Russ Mohr told RCR Wireless News earlier this week.
Smart buildings lead to significant energy savings, but a few challenges remain. New concepts based on modern construction materials are only slowly gaining ground. On the other hand, it is much simpler to upgrade an existing building into a smart building. This allows significant energy savings of up to 20% to be realized within a short time.
To make things “smart” and improve overall efficiency, we connect IoT devices through a network to the cloud (and each other). Thus, anything “smart” requires connectivity, both wired and wireless, at least in most cases. The 5G networks of the future will bring sophisticated connectivity to these edge IoT devices with higher speeds, more machine-to-machine connections and very low latencies – enabling a new generation of applications and use cases that we haven’t yet thought of.
Stewart Connector’s new single and multiport RJ45 connectors to support 2.5G Base-T Ethernet communications. The new 2.5G connectors deliver a high speed, small form factor and PoE capable connector for use in networking equipment, IoT devices, servers, printers, and new emerging applications. The RJ45 connectors are optimally designed to address cross-talk and return loss issues that are common in 2.5G applications.
The #BICSIFallTIA Single Pair Ethernet Consortium panelists discussed how to leverage this powerful technology to support the micro-IT devices that enable the #IoT, #smartbuildings, and more. Panelists represented the entire SPE ecosystem with representation from CommScope, Panduit, Cisco, Analog Devices, and ACE IoT Solutions. Visit http://www.spec.tiaonline.org for more.
