WiFi is one of the greatest success stories of the technology era, and a key to continued social and economic growth. The global economic value of WiFi in 2021 was estimated at $3.3 trillion, according to a study commissioned by WiFi Alliance. By 2025 that value is expected to grow to $4.9 trillion. WiFi’s true value is in […]

Cybersecurity testing and evaluation (T&E) checks whether software is vulnerable to cyber- attacks, and tests the impact of malicious or unexpected inputs on its operations. Cybersecurity testing provides evidence that systems and information are safe and reliable, and that they do not accept unauthorized inputs. Cybersecurity testing is a type of non-functional testing. Unlike functional […]

Once an organization decides to take advantage of WiFi technology, considerable thought should go into the WiFi setup. A WiFi network begins with planning. This means locating the access points as well as the conditions and constructive elements of the area where the wireless infrastructure is going to be deployed are approached. In an ideal […]

Avionics technology is a category of electronic systems and equipment specifically designed for use in aviation. Avionics is a blend of the terms “aviation” and “electronics.” The avionics installed in an aircraft or spacecraft can include engine controls, flight control systems, navigation, communications, flight recorders, lighting systems, threat detection, fuel systems, electro-optic (EO/IR) systems, weather radar, […]

Cybersecurity in autonomous and semi-autonomous systems is of high concern to manufacturers, especially in light of the recent EU Agency for Cybersecurity and Joint Research Centre report warning that autonomous vehicles carry serious cybersecurity risks. The report noted that the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in autonomous vehicles could endanger road users’ and pedestrians’ lives. […]

Portfolio management is a cohesive investing strategy based on your goals, timeline and risk tolerance. Portfolio management involves picking investments such as stocks, bonds and funds and monitoring those investments over time. Portfolio management can be done on your own, with a professional or through an automated service. Portfolio management is generally divided into two major […]

Reliability, Availability and Maintainability (RAM) analysis determines the likelihood of plant failure and the time necessary to return the plant to an operational state. Reliability, Availability and Maintainability allows the operator to optimize the design including its configuration, level of redundancy, component selection and supporting maintenance strategy.  As well as suggesting tangible improvements, a Reliability, […]

There’s a tendency to think of the Internet of Things (IoT) as one, interconnected technological entity. But in actuality, the IoT is a much more widely diverse and multifaceted realm. In fact there are several types of IoT wireless technology, including: Bluetooth and BLE Cellular LPWANs WIFI RFID  Tech analysts insist that each IoT realm […]

The primary benefit of fault tree analysis (FTA) is the analysis provides a unique insight into the operation and potential failure of a system. This allows development teams to explore ways to eliminate or minimize the occurrence of product failure. By exploring the ways a failure mode can occur by exploring the individual failure causes […]

X-ray safety is important because X-rays can cause mutations in our DNA and, therefore, might lead to cancer later in life. An X-ray is a penetrating form of high-energy electromagnetic radiation. Most X-rays have a wavelength ranging from 10 picometers to 10 nanometers, corresponding to frequencies in the range 30 petahertz to 30 exahertz (30×1015 Hz to 30×1018 Hz) and energies in the range 124 eV to 124 keV. X-ray wavelengths are shorter than those […]
