Public safety is of concern for all countries, with teams spending hours working tirelessly to ensure that citizens are protected. Such incidents include natural disasters, crime spikes, or any unrest that may occur. In these times of crisis, technology has a crucial role to play in ensuring that public safety teams can effectively communicate in […]
Utility engineers who have attended industry conferences in the last ten years are sure to have been exposed to the new universal communications and substation definition standard of IEC 61850. While it has been successful in the electricity transmission space, it has seen very little usage in distribution networks. IEC 61850 has been generally […]
The benefits of IP convergence, such as enhanced efficiency, improved manageability, and lower total cost of ownership, have long been the driving force behind the impressive growth in the number of industrial Ethernet deployments for supervisory and control-level applications. According to studies conducted by IMS Research, the global number of industrial Ethernet nodes at […]
U-blox , known internationally for its wireless and positioning modules and chips, recently announced plans to launch modules supporting Category M1 (Cat M1) LTE networks, which will allow a larger number of devices to connect to the internet of things (IoT). The first Sara-R4 module developed by u-blox will be available in Q4 2016 targeting mobile […]
The convergence of information technology (IT) and operation technology (OT) is no longer news, and yet many business opportunities in industrial digitisation is not capitalised upon said Barry Elliott, Rockwell Automation’s operations manager, at a presentation to clients at the company’s Randburg offices. According to Elliot, many benefits of this integration are within the […]
The FTTH Council and the Association for Residential Communities have signed a partnership agreement as a sign of ARC’s commitment to ensuring that its members make informed decisions when it comes to their fibre to the home (FTTH) strategies for their communities, according to Jeff Gilmour, president of the ARC. Richard Came, president of […]
The results of the “2016 State of Hyperconverged Infrastructure Market Report” from ActualTech Media have been released. The report, sponsored by SimpliVity, found that both enterprise and midmarket companies adopting hyperconverged infrastructure are being adopted to reduce data centre costs and improve operational efficiency. The report also noted that the use cases for deploying […]
Keysight Technologies recently announced the N1092A, N1092B and N1092D DCA-M sampling oscilloscopes, said to be ideal for 25/100/400 Gbps optical test. Networks of 100 and 400 Gbps rely on multiple-lane transmitters based on 25 Gbps class lasers. As these technologies become mainstream and transition to high-volume manufacturing, there is a growing need for test systems that […]
This antenna provides a unique solotion with a constant level of very high gain for 4G, 3G and 2G networks. It is a unique wall- or pole-mountable, dual polarised, full LTE band antenna. Incorporating two separately fed ultra wideband elements in a single housing, the antenna is equipped to provide client-side MiMo and diversity support for […]
The adoption of long term evolution (LTE) is following the example of 3G but at a much faster rate. However for telcos who are evolving to LTE it is not an option to operate separate networks for voice and data. Voice is set to become data and an integral part of LTE. LTE and […]
