Signal K - The Internet of Things Afloat & Next Generation Interfacing

March 1, 2016

Many boaters will be familiar with the NMEA data standard for interfacing on board electronics and allowing devices like instruments, GPS, chart plotters and autopilots to communicate and share information. The first variation of NMEA 0180 was developed nearly 40 years ago allowing devices to communicate using a simple two wire interface. Other versions then followed leading to NMEA 0183 which became ubiquitous. Over the past 10 years, the newer NMEA 2000 standard has become widely used by all major manufacturers’ of marine electronics. Many, like Navico and Raymarine “customise” this standard using their own physical connector format (Simnet and SeaTalk NG respectively) but the core data used for interconnection is based on and compatible with the NMEA 2000 data standard.

Securing Devices in Advanced Metering Infrastructures

whitePaper | January 8, 2020

Smart grid managers and Head End System (HES) vendors depend on data to drive their business. Receiving and analyzing accurate data from grid endpoints - the smart meters - is the main element that determines business success. Their customers, Distribution System Operators (DSOs) and Advanced Metering Infrastructures (AMI) managers, then use this data for crucial processes: monitoring energy demand and production, load shifting to maintain a persistent grid balance at all times and billing customers. Each tiny bit of data is the starting point for monetization and asset management and it must be accurate and trusted in order to keep power flowing.

CYBER SECURITY IN THE ERA OF INDUSTRIAL IOT

whitePaper | February 6, 2020

Industrial cyber security has been a topic of much debate over the last decade. Despite the industry’s widespread acknowledgement of its significance, cyber security in the industry continues to be an elusive subject for many. A huge gap exists in understanding the implications of cyber security; however, the subject has been greatly discussed. Interestingly, the industrial environment is currently passing through a key phase, where the idea of Internet of Things (IoT) is beginning to pervade all areas of industrial operation. This ongoing change is poised to expand the complex security needs in the factories of the future.

Fixed 5th Generation Advanced and Beyond

whitePaper | September 20, 2022

One of the overarching goals of the ETSI Industry Specification Group (ISG) F5G on Fifth Generation Fixed Network is to establish a regular rhythm of evolution for the fixed telecommunications network. This technology enhancement corresponds to the series of generations defined for the wireless network. So far, F5G has published technical specifications on use cases, generations definition of fibre networks, architecture, and more. As it continues, these documents will be enhanced and revised to describe the fifth generation of fixed networks more fully. Therefore, we need to consider the evolution of F5G. This White Paper describes the drivers, dimensions, and technologies of the F5G advanced and beyond.
