At present, available bands do not meet the needs of large-scale IoT deployment in that power restrictions can be challenging, there are often duty cycle constraints as low as 1%, bands are fragmented around the world and interference levels can be high or risk becoming high because any type of applications and technologies can use the bands. Furthermore, problems can arise because all traffic on an IoT network has to go through a small number of base stations or network relay points and these a...

The risks of cybersecurity are more complex than ever. Due to the rise of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), by 2020 every person will generate 1.7 megabytes of information per second. As new technologies evolve, cyber criminals adapt and discover new hacking methods to apprehend sensitive data. AI and IoT have the potential to revolutionise society, but what happens when these new technologies are weaponized by cyber criminals? Unless hardware-based endpoint security...

Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) possess great potential, but are vulnerable to misunderstandings. They have become a global business concern and are critically important to several industries’ and technologies’ growth — including those relating to the Intelligence of Things (IoT). APIs underpin many of the platforms and sensors that connect IoT-enabled tools like smart home devices and mass transit systems, but a few inaccurate assumptions hamper their usability. A co...
