The Internet of Things (IoT) is transforming waste management by enabling connectivity between devices, machinery, and people. IoT sensors help optimise waste collection, reducing costs caused by inefficient operations and prevent overflowing bins. Today, poorly placed public waste bins risk becoming overcrowded, leading to littering and inefficient waste management. With digital IoT tools and robust […]
2G was the foundation With 2G, the radio signals switched from analog to digital, thus providing new opportunities for data transmission. It marked the start of a broad expansion of connected devices and what is today called the Internet of Things (IoT). The technology is still widely used for communications in critical systems and infrastructure. […]
The importance of replacing equipment that rely on 2G and 3G All companies have a great responsibility in the ongoing technology change, and this applies not least to the security industry. In addition to reviewing existing systems and infrastructure that rely on 2G and 3G, they need to ensure that the supply of analogue equipment […]
Societal effects and digitalisation Smarter cities and IoT enables better living conditions for many, competitive industries, and a sustainable future. To take advantage of the possibilities of digitalisation, secure and updated communication networks are required. This is the reason why telecom operators have begun the technology shift, i.e. the phasing out of older technologies such […]
Review and prepare Today, there are hundreds of thousands of alarm systems using outdated technology, such as fire, elevator, intruder, and safety alarms. For installers with customers who have alarm systems or IoT devices critical to society, it is high time to review and prepare for the technology shift; the operator’s shift to 4G and […]
Consider this before the sunsetting of the telecommunications networks – a quick guide for companies
Review your connected systems to old telecommunications networks Components include fire alarms, elevator alarms, intercoms, burglar alarms, monitoring systems, heat pumps, checkout systems, and more. Now that the old telecommunications networks are due to be phased out completely and replaced by 4G and 5G, it is important that all businesses review their communications. Both to […]
The 20th and 21st centuries have seen more transformative technological developments than that of any before them. Many have had their benefits, with the industrial revolution in particular standing as a turning point for humanity in terms of progression, opportunity, and living standards. However, it is also true that some of the technologies we have welcome in our lives directly damage the environment […]
5G, the network of the future, does not only connect our mobile phones and laptops to the internet, but will be so widespread that even vehicles and machinery will be connected. For businesses, industries, and indeed everyday people, this means we will have an increase in what we consider ‘devices’ around us. Also, the quality of the network they are connected to […]
