Energous | January 10, 2023 | Read time : 02:05 min

Energous
Energous Corporation, a developer of RF-based charging for wireless power networks, announced that it will be demonstrating its technology and products at the 2023 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), taking place in Las Vegas, NV. The technology demonstrated by Energous will include WattUp®, their RF-based, power-at-a-distance charging platform. Given how long the consumer electronics industry has anticipated Energous' technology, this represents a significant milestone for the company.

At CES, Energous Corporation demonstrated IoT-enabled devices such as a multi-spectral light sensor, smart football, wall of Wiliot, CO2 sensor, Wiliot IoT pixel tag printer, sensor evaluation kit, harvesting evaluation kit, and  electronic shelf labels (ESL). The company also showcased the WattUp Near Field (NF) solutions and the recently launched WattUp Mid Field (MF), designed to enable wire-free charging of mobile and consumer electronics up to 15 feet away. The demonstration at CES was an impressive display of the technology that Energous has been able to develop over the years.

The company will have a booth presence on the show floor at the Venetian Expo Hall and will showcase various products such as a wirelessly powered multi-spectral light sensor for vertical farming, a "smart" football from Energous partner Catapult, wirelessly powered over-the-air by its WattUp technology, a CO2 sensor, and electronic shelf labels (ESLs), among others. The CEO of Energous said that the company has reached important milestones in 2022 and that IoT applications will make its technology more popular.

Kontron and ThinKom Deliver Exceptional Network Flexibility with Readily Available Ka-band SATCOM Antenna Platform

Businesswire | June 02, 2023

Kontron, a leading global provider of IoT/Embedded Computer Technology (ECT) and Inflight Entertainment and Connectivity (IFE&C) solutions, today announces its collaboration with ThinKom to demonstrate and make readily available a highly flexible Ka-band SATCOM solution to the avionics market. The multi-modem architecture consists of Kontron’s proven ACE Flight 4783 dual modem MODMAN server integrated with ThinKom’s ThinAir® Ka2517 phased-array satcom antenna system that offers unparalleled service provider agility. Airlines and integrators can leverage the open architecture solution, which enables multi-orbit interoperability between GSO and NGSO satellites, to provide more coverage and become entirely network agnostic today, while being future-proof for tomorrow. Kontron’s ACE Flight 4783 Dual Modem MODMAN provides unmatched performance in the smallest footprint by combining server and networking-grade hardware with two satellite modems in a compact, ARINC 791/792 4MCU compliant system. To further enhance capabilities, the MODMAN can be expanded by integrating the Auxiliary Modem Unit (AMU) to support a third modem. This allows extra coverage options, such as another GEO modem or incorporating MEO or LEO connectivity for multi-orbit operations. ThinKom’s proven and reliable, high-throughput ThinAir Ka2517 antenna seamlessly operates with multiple modems and networks. It delivers robust, highly efficient satellite communications operating across multiple orbits, packaged in a low-profile footprint to minimize drag and save on fuel. “We are committed to providing customers with the right building blocks to differentiate their offerings and gain a competitive advantage in the IFE&C market,” explains Tony Squeglia, Business Development Director at Kontron. “Our active involvement in the Seamless Air Alliance, coupled with organizations within the satellite connectivity market, like ThinKom, is paving the way for an open platform approach with future-proof capabilities.” “ThinKom’s antennas are proven as the industry’s most reliable and efficient, and by partnering with Kontron, this complete system enables airlines and integrators to quickly deploy a network-agnostic solution that offers an array of modem combinations, not only for today, but also for tomorrow,” says Bill Milroy, CTO and Chairman at ThinKom. Kontron and ThinKom will be exhibiting at AIX in Hamburg, Germany from June 6 – 8, 2023. Visit Kontron at booth 2E24 and ThinKom at booth 4E41 to learn more about their open architecture platforms.

Nozomi Networks Releases New Content Pack for ISA/IEC 62443 Compliance Reporting and Security Checks

Nozomi Networks | March 24, 2023

Nozomi Networks, the leader in OT and IoT security, today announced a new content pack for organizations working toward ISA/IEC 62443 compliance and certification. The ISA/IEC 62443 Content Pack makes it possible for Nozomi Networks platform users to quickly create custom queries and reports that help confirm their industrial automation and control systems (IACS) meet ISA/IEC 62443 standards. The Content Pack can also be used to assess an IACS’ security posture against ISA/IEC 62443 standards, identifying areas that align with the standards and areas that must be addressed in order to be compliant. “Nozomi Networks’ ISA/IEC 62443 Content Pack technology brings everyone together around a set of reports and queries that helps users access the details they need to reach compliance,” said Chris Grove, Nozomi Networks Director of Cybersecurity Strategy. “Rather than reinvent the wheel each time a customer needs this data, a user can create and distribute a single file where it can then be imported into a Guardian, run as-is or edited, and then re-distributed to the public, across Guardians, or to partners, collaborators, user groups, wherever you want to share it.” The ISA/IEC 62443 series of standards, developed by the International Society of Automation 99 committee (ISA99) and adopted by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), provides a framework to address and mitigate current and future security vulnerabilities in IACSs. The committee draws on the input and knowledge of security experts across the globe to develop consensus standards that are applicable to all industry sectors and critical infrastructure. Nozomi Networks’ Content Packs are owned by Nozomi Networks’ user community and make it possible to export a combination of queries and reports into a single JSON file that can be shared in a completely separate environment. Content Packs do not contain any proprietary information and are safe to share. This allows Nozomi Networks and its customers to quickly share custom reports or queries internally or with the Nozomi Networks user community. The new ISA/IEC 62443 Content Pack covers parts 2-1 (security program best practices) and part 3-3 (definitions for system security requirements and security capabilities levels). About Nozomi Networks Nozomi Networks accelerates digital transformation by protecting the world’s critical infrastructure, industrial and government organizations from cyber threats. Our solution delivers exceptional network and asset visibility, threat detection, and insights for OT and IoT environments. Customers rely on us to minimize risk and complexity while maximizing operational resilience.
