I have written several earlier on audio over Ethernet technologies. Audio over Ethernet (AoE) is the use of an Ethernet-based network to distribute real-time digital audio. It is designed to replace bulky snake cables and fixed wiring with standard network structured cabling. Most AoE systems use proprietary protocols (at the higher OSI layers) which create →

WiFi is so popular that it works more or less baddly for many users. And new standards that promise more speed do not make WiFi more reliable. →
This is main electrical distribution panel in modern house in Finland. Notice the networking patch panel and cable TV signal distribution taking the bottom half of panel. Here is closer look to part where cable TV, Internet (cat6 copper) and untermimated fiber optic cable comes into house. →

Yesterday I posted about DMX-512 dimmer. DMX-512 is a lighting industry standard way of controlling lighting equipment.DMX-512 allows for one controller (like a lighting desk or computer) to control many lights from many manufacturers. DMX-512 fundamentally provides 512 channels of 8-bit resolution (0-255) level control(which constitue a DMX ‘universe’) using serial RS-485 communications at 250 →

How the Internet works: Submarine fiber, brains in jars, and coaxial cables | Ars Technica http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2016/05/how-the-internet-works-submarine-cables-data-centres-last-mile/ But how does Interner work? Take a deep dive into Internet infrastructure and visit to a subsea cable landing site. This article is simply not talking about the wonders of TCP/IP or pervasive Wi-Fi hotspots, though those are vitally important →
I wrote in earlier in New Full Duplex Radio Chip Transmits and Receives Wireless Signals at Once posting about article New Full Duplex Radio Chip Transmits and Receives Wireless Signals at Once – IEEE Spectrum that told about a new chip that makes full dupled radio communications (tranmitting and receiving at the same frequency time at →

There are so many things in 5G so open that I think that nobody can really say exactly what kind of system it will be. This article gives one overview to 5G. →
Finland has received a new technology trade magazine focusing on developing new technology: Uusi Teknologia (=new technology). Uusi Teknologia magazine’s first issue devoted to IoT solutions, industrial, internet security and future 5G mobile solutions as well as intelligent interactive textiles. Also included are high-end oscilloscopes and a new ways to program embedded systems. The magazine →
