As industrial automation and robotics continue to advance, accurate and reliable distance measurement becomes increasingly important for numerous applications. Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensing technology has emerged as a leading solution, offering precise distance measurement capabilities in challenging industrial environments. Broadcom's family of ToF sensors represents a significant advancement in this field, combining sophisticated measurement techniques with robust performance characteristics. Read article

In this video, Alan Fagan from EPS Global speaks with William Graves, Technical Solutions Lead at IP Infusion, at #WISPAPALOOZA in Las Vegas.  

They discuss the role of IP Infusion’s technology in the OpenWiFi ecosystem, particularly its capabilities in enhancing Wi-Fi experiences for business-class customers and Managed Service Providers (MSPs).  

As the curtains rose on WISPAPALOOZA 2024 at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas, the OpenWiFi community is making waves with innovative technologies and collaborative solutions. Our booth (#720) has been buzzing with activity, showcasing the power of open networking and the strength of our partnerships. Read article

In today's connected world, reliable WiFi has become a critical utility for multi-dwelling units (MDUs), often ranking among the top factors potential tenants consider when choosing a place to live. However, MDUs present unique challenges for WiFi deployment and management. The high-density environment, with numerous users in close proximity, often leads to signal interference and congestion across the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. This interference is exacerbated by the physical structure of MDUs, where concrete walls and metal fixtures can significantly attenuate wireless signals.

In today’s industrial environments Sensors play a crucial role in automation and manufacturing by providing real-time data for systems to operate and make decisions autonomously. In the realm of automation, sensors are the eyes and ears of the system. They gather information from the environment, which is then processed and used to control various operations. Read article

The open networking datacenter NOS (network operating system) environment has seen a huge amount of consolidation over the last 5 years. This is down to the emergence of an open-source NOS, graciously gifted to the world by non-other than Microsoft. Linus Torvalds, the creator, and lead developer of the Linux kernel, famously said, “Microsoft isn’t evil, they just make really crappy operating systems.” Thankfully, in this case, he was referring to Windows and not the white box operating system that is taking over the data center ecosystem. Torvalds’s own Linux Foundation are now the gatekeepers of community SONiC so it's safe to say he approves this time! Read article
