5 Things to Know About Today's WiFi

Nearly 70% of WiFi devices sold this year will support 5GHz dual-band WiFi, surpassing the number of single-band 2.4Ghz devices in use, according to a new study from ABI Research. The ABI Research study, commissioned by the Wi-Fi Alliance , found that widespread adoption of smartphones, tablets and consumer electronics that include support for 802.11ac WiFi in the 5GHz bands is taking dual-band WiFi mainstream. ABI says that GHz usage will grow close to 100% saturation in the next five years. The Alliance calls this latest generation of unlicensed spectrum use Wi-Fi Certified ac, and says it offers more bandwidth for gigabit per second data rates and double the network capacity. (See Qualcomm Advances WiFi With MIMO.) It has put together the following infographic outlining the status of dual-band WiFi across the globe and why it should matter to consumers.

IoE vs IoT vs M2M Infographic

Infographic | January 16, 2020

M2M is a subsystem of the Internet of Things—but not the other way round. Their key difference is that in M2M the physical-first products are connected on a closed and point-topoint basis, while in the IoT this happens on a more open and multipoint basis. What constitutes a physical-first “Thing” is a moving target, relying on the perceived novelty of products going smart and connected. Therefore, what is considered part of the IoT today may someday be considered a natural part of the Internet of Digital.

IoT in the Enterprise

Infographic | July 29, 2021

The COVID-19 pandemic forced companies to abruptly shuer their offices, instructing employees to work from home. For all of 2020 and much of 2021, these buildings weren’t the only thing abandoned. Countless IoT devices remained inside the walls and connected to the corporate network, still refreshing data, performing functions and awaiting commands. The Zscaler ThreatLabz threat research team took a deeper look into this activity on both sanctioned and unsanctioned IoT devices to unveil eye-opening IoT malware trends from the Zscaler cloud.
