Deciding on the right phone solution for your business can be a struggle if you don’t have the right information. Learn what your options are right here.
Deciding on the right outbound calling solution for your business can be a daunting task without the right information. But if you're in the outbound sales business, you might be wondering which phone service is the best fit for your needs.
In the past, fixed landline solutions were the go-to option due to their reliability and standard packages. However, with the growth of mobile and digital technologies over the years, the telecom market has become more competitive, offering cheaper and more flexible options with additional features.
One trend that stands out is the decline of fixed landlines globally, with more businesses and individuals opting for mobile and internet-based solutions. As a result, businesses are looking for phone services that offer flexibility, reliability, and scalability to keep up with the dynamic industry demands.
The Old Days of a 100% Landline Network
Traditionally, fixed landline solutions have been the go-to option offering a standard package, contract subscription, and unrivaled reliability.
Over the past two decades, we’ve experienced the growth and evolution of mobile and digital technologies.
If we take the United States, user numbers have dropped from 128 million to 106 million.
From 297 million to 260 million between 2014 - 2019 and emerging markets, the same trend in Europe is also less favorable to installing fixed landlines. Global usage of fixed landlines is expected to continue falling through to 2030 and eventually become obsolete.
Businesses have experienced the same decline, with some companies ignoring landline set-up altogether. Businesses have become more strategic when it comes to their communications and adapting to communication trends.
Why Are People and Businesses Moving Away from Landlines?
Technology. With landline telecommunications declining, telecommunications companies switched to the growing market demand for mobile and wireless options. Why?
Businesses and peoples’ needs and preferences have driven the demand to have more flexibility and availability 24/7/365 and have shifted behavior away from fixed landlines towards mobile and internet-based technologies.
Communication today is faster, and demands for rapid access to information have shifted to a swifter and more widely accessible solution.
The telecoms industry adapted to that knowledge, continuously developing, bringing optimized speed and increased capacity demand for a faster-paced business world. Technology advanced when wireless communication was released; we’ve seen the change from 3G, 4G, and now to 5G.
We are already entering the age of 5th generation (5G) wireless technology. Somewhat controversial, but 5G brings lightning-speed communication to people, homes, and businesses across most countries.
However, landlines, how rely on copper wire cables to be installed into buildings and across cities for them to be used; this is costly in construction and maintenance.
Service providers would then have to recoup those costs with high prices and locked businesses and people into lengthy inflexible contracts with complex T&Cs. Clearly, a turn-off factor for many.
Wireless Technology: The Present and Future for Communication
Wireless technology and the ability to be mobile using satellites and signal transmitters were developed to replace that heavy cable usage.
Using satellites and transmitters, communication was available across any area the signal would reach. With these technology opportunities, businesses have evolved accordingly.
Take electronic appliance manufacturers as an example, who have begun adapting to include more integrated features into office spaces and home appliances with smart technology integration for wireless connectivity.
From that, we now see the decline of desk phones and bulky cable demanding office accessories. And your business might need the same outlook; to be adaptable.
Phones are now with people everywhere they go providing constant communication opportunities. People are always reachable and are no longer confined to waiting by a fixed landline to receive information.
So how can you leverage that for your outbound sales? Where do you go from here? Let’s take a look at what the telecommunications industry offers as possible solutions.
Fixed Landlines: Pros & Cons
Landlines and connections are still available in private addresses and businesses and may offer an undervalued lead generation segment. So, what are some of the pros and cons of a landline solution for my business?
Fixed Landlines Pros:
Clear audio quality: Landlines give direct call audio connection and with a clear voice to your callers.
Trust: Landline numbers coming through to call receivers are more likely to be answered. Landline numbers give more reputation to the caller ID as an established and local business.
No interruption: Cable connections allow for uninterrupted calls. There is virtually no issue of frequency/signal loss or interception.
Available during power outage/blackouts: Landlines are separated from the power supply; in an emergency, you can still make and receive calls.
No internet connection required: Landlines are copper wire-based and separate from the internet-providing cables.
Fixed Landlines Cons:
No flexibility: With a fixed line, you're limited to the length of the cord - as well as your customer. Even with a wireless phone device, you're limited to the range of the service provider.
Limited scalability: Once integrated, the service provider typically gives a fixed annual fee regardless of your usage needs if you scale back.
Heavy, long contracts: Service providers give lengthy T&Cs and contract withdrawal clauses, which can lock you into paying for long periods even after termination.
Technologically obsolete: We’ve seen the future outlook for landlines is bleak. Technology and business demands have advanced beyond the requirements of what fixed landlines offer. Businesses need responsivity in dynamic industries.
Restricted calling: Your sales team is bound to the fixed calling, both by business hours and working hours. Customers asking for callbacks outside of working hours means that you either need a 24/7 team available at desks or restrict your operational hours.
Cell Pros & Cons
Mobiles give precisely that, mobility. Businesses need to be able to respond quickly and be more active in the world outside the office. A wireless device gives the freedom of movement away from the desk or fixed location, both for the sales team and your clients.
The cell allows for more flexibility in sales functions, with location no longer a barrier to operation.
Sales personnel can be both active in the field and still available for calls with a cell. Mobile gives freedom of working from home, which, as we’ve seen from the Covid-19 pandemic, can offer more flexibility to continue working even in uncertain situations.
Cheap Plans & Data: Fierce competition in the telecommunications industry drives that, and with switching costs generally being low, you are open to negotiating with providers for the best deal.
Communication Integration: Mobiles and smartphones have advanced integration options with other electronic devices (laptops, tablets, even the office fridge) to provide a fixed-line option for advanced communication and data sharing.
SMS: Mobiles still have the capabilities of sending and receiving texts. It is still considered a widespread effort in marketing teams for directly reaching any cell user.
Re-routing options: Remember the trust factor of landlines? Cell operators now offer business packages offering pocket landline numbers that divert to and from a mobile handset. That’ll help boost the company’s reputation in local areas.
Catch your salespeople anywhere, anytime: OK, maybe not at 3 am on a Sunday. But using cells within your company gives both your internal staff and your customers or leads the possibility of communicating with your sales team. Called someone, and it's not a good time? Not a problem for your dedicated sales to call. And this data can all be collected to prevent multiplying bothering calls.
5G: With 5G entering to provide a signal, speed and connectivity issues are improved.
Integration with VoIP software: Mobile also allows integration with growing telecommunications such as Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) software.
Equipment: A power outlet and in-build internet data to your service plan are all you need for small-scale operations.
Call recording & Data collection: Mobile does offer call recording and data collection opportunities with apps.
Signal: Mobiles are bound by signal availability; however, signal coverage by most service providers can be covered nationally. And if your service providers coverage is down, other service provider's can provide a floating service if you opt for roaming.
Battery: Battery life can be an issue, but with most modern handsets providing rapid charge and the rise of portable batteries, your team is never too far from a power source.
How to record sales calls for training and support on a mobile phone?
Call recording for your business can help dispute resolution, employee training, and customer quality assurance. Compliance with local regulations and legal systems is a priority to consider when setting up automated call recording using a mobile device.
VoIP software offers an advanced solution for recording a mobile call.
What is a VoIP?
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is the newest growing technology in the telecoms field. This is a call service technology run through sending voice data using IP networks via your internet provider.
VoIP allows voice and data to be carried out without the need for a desk phone. All you need is an internet connection, a laptop, and you’re good to go. You have all the benefits of calling landlines without the restriction of needing a landline connection or cell.
This technology is rapidly growing and replacing traditional communications in businesses and homes.
Adversus is one provider of VoIP technology, offering advanced features with its online software solution.
Why do I need a VoIP?
VoIP can be used with just an internet connection and a desktop or laptop with a speaker-microphone. VoIP is best used in office settings with a headset to provide better sound quality, voice clarity, and employee health benefits compared to desk phones.
VoIP can be used with smart mobile phone handsets; all you need is an app of choice and a stable Wi-Fi connection. To use VoIP with an existing landline, you need an adapter to be installed to divert the call.
Who is VoIP ideal for?
VoIP is gaining popularity with homeworkers, freelancers, working professionals outside serviced offices, and businesses needing personnel in multiple locations.
Fundraisers, telemarketers and appointment schedulers, PAs & Executives also benefit from integrated VoIP services in their wider business.
Real-Time Data & Reporting: VoIP services can offer advanced data collection and reporting. Call conversation capture, feedback, live employee overviews. All data can help boost KPIs. Data-driven reports can also be generated to allow efficient decision-making.
Call Methods: Predictive, progressive, and manual. You are capable of calling fixed landlines, mobiles, and other VoIP numbers. And you’re given capabilities for delivering intelligent campaigns with high efficiency for automating call flows.
Legal Compliance: VoIP reporting allows your company to directly show regulators in a report format of compliance with local laws.
Lead Management: Helps to keep your leads information management under control with internalized data organization functions.
Task Automation: Your team is given the ability to automate workflows and prevent repetitive time-wasting tasks. Avoid call duplications.
Equipment: A laptop and an internet connection. No-fuss.
Service Plans: VoIP services have learned the fixed-line and mobile lessons and have a different strategy. VoIP service providers have no setup fees, and prices are determined by the number of users your business needs.
Individual Portal Accounts: You’re in control and can set up individual accounts for personnel and cancel when no longer needed.
Wireless IP Phones: VoIP is also capable of integration with mobile phones. Even if you have a field sales team that makes and receives calls, a VoIP can have them covered. And that data feeds directly back into your portal account.
Instant Messaging & Video Call Features: Most VoIP providers offer advanced video calls and instant messaging already integrated into their service.
Connection: For VoIP to work, you do need to have an internet provider and broadband connection.
Equipment: Desktops or laptops with a microphone and speaker are needed. Additionally, a headset is more beneficial. When working out of the office, a mobile handset or laptop with WI-FI access is necessary. With 5G rising, the risk of losing connection is becoming minimal.
Hacks: Some raise concerns around hackers who may be capable of breaking into the software to steal information. It would help if your looked to find a reputable VoIP provider offering service through a secured network in your research.
Among the available options, VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) technology has emerged as a game-changer. It provides real-time data and reporting, flexible call methods, legal compliance, lead management, and task automation, all without the need for bulky equipment or lengthy contracts. VoIP services are gaining popularity among various professionals, including homeworkers, freelancers, and businesses with personnel in multiple locations.
So, if you're considering a phone solution for your outbound sales department, VoIP is an excellent choice. It offers the freedom and flexibility of mobile communication, along with the benefits of advanced features and data-driven reporting. Embracing VoIP will enable your sales team to reach out to leads more efficiently, improve call quality, and boost overall performance.
In conclusion, don't hesitate to cut the cord on your traditional landline and embrace the future of communication networks with VoIP. With its advanced capabilities and seamless integration, VoIP is paving the way for effective and efficient outbound sales communication.
Setting up or renewing your company’s in-house telecommunications systems isn’t sexy… it’s not fun. But it’s a significant cornerstone of how business is done.

Due to the rapid development of Web technologies, Internet applications increasingly use different programming languages and platforms. Web services technologies were introduced to ease the integration of applications on heterogeneous platforms. The quality of Web services has received much attention as it relates to the service discovery process. However, less work has been done on issues related to the quality of composite services. This study uses the selection model along with the concept of workflow quality of service (QoS) in order to improve the quality of service performance of current Web services in the discovery process. It also uses a selection model as the foundation for selecting Web services, conducting simulations to measure the overall workflow QoS performance when implemented in sequence. However, optimal solutions to service composition selection require exponential time in the number of services. We therefore apply genetic algorithm to quickly find the best-fitting service composition. Finally, we score and sort each service composition based on the service requesters’ preferences towards QoS. The results of the experiment show that considering workflow QoS in selecting service composition improves the actual QoS performance. At the same time, using genetic algorithm to optimize the service composition provides an improvement in the solution time.

Wireless home networks have several advantages: the whole family can access the Internet at once. You can use a laptop anywhere around the wireless network to free funny wifi names yourself from physical limitations. You don't need to connect a CAT-5 cable to your entire home network (or even a hole in the wall!) - but WiFi networks also have their own security issues. The recommendations below describe what steps should be taken to improve the security of your WiFi network.
1. Bring the point access point to the center position
WiFi signals are emitted through a router or access point. If you keep the device access device as central as possible, two goals are achieved. First, it ensures that the WiFi signal reaches all areas of your home, and second, it reduces signal leakage outside your property. This is important to reduce the possibility of drive-by-access access to your system. If someone on the street can access your signal, it can be identified and exploited by unscrupulous people. If your network security is insufficient, they may be able to access your confidential information.
2. Activate an encryption scheme for devices in your network
All WiFi devices support some form of encryption, making it possible to read messages sent by an external unit over a wireless network. The available encryption schemes change, with WEP being the weakest (and oldest) and WPA - and now WPA2 - stronger and better. However, you cannot merge and match because all the WiFi devices in your network must use the same encryption scheme. WEP may not be as good as WPA settings, but keep in mind that it is better than encryption.
new. Choose new default default username and admin password
An access point or router is the heart of a WiFi home network. This is given from the factory with the standard manager username and password. Manufacturers set both a username and an account password in the factory. The user can use an administrator account to enter network addresses and account information. The username is always the word "admin" or "admin". Passwords are usually blank or contain the words "admin", "public" or "password". Hackers are aware of these default default settings, and if you do not change them, there is a big risk that your network will be open to villain access. Once you set your access access point or router, change the username and password of the administrator. It is appropriate to change this regularly, for example every 30 to 60 days.
4. Rename Default LT SSID
WiFi access point and router manufacturers typically ship their products with a standard network name (SSID). The SSID stands for Service Set Identifier, a 32-digit sequence that uniquely identifies the WLN. In other words, SSID is the name of a wireless network. To connect a wireless device to a wireless network, it is necessary to know the SSID of the wireless network in question. If you connect your wireless router or access access point and keep the default SSID, it will not take much longer for an attacker to determine the SSID. Once you have configured your access access point or router, change the SSID to a unique name that is difficult to guess.
5. Disable SSID Broadcasting
The SSID broadcast occurs every few seconds through your access point or router and is designed to enable users to detect, identify and connect to Wi-Fi networks. If you have a wireless device, you can use this function to determine which networks are in range and what their names are. This is the first step to connect to the WiFi network. However, this function is not necessary and undesirable in home networks, as external companies can determine the SSID of your network. It is recommended that home network users disable this feature to improve the security of your Wi-Fi network.
6. Enable MAC Address Filtering
A function called MAC address filtering (media access control) uses the computer's physical hardware. Each computer has its own specific MAC address. MAC address filtering allows network administrators to enter a list of MAC addresses from which they can communicate over the network. The network administrator may deny access to MAC addresses that are not on the network.


Especially, blind and visually impaired persons often have problems to find the entrance into a building resp. shop. With the help of our audio location signals at the entry, the persons concerned can trigger an acoustic signal and get so informed where the right way is located. Audio location signals can be a supplement or an alternative to a tactile floor guidance system.
The audio location signal disposes over a digital storage, which can be equipped with a text that is alterable at any time. So, the audio location signals can be additionally also used for the information transfer.
Individual adaptations are at any time possible, also in connection with automatic door openers, security gates, etc.


The statistics are sobering: violent crime occurs in the United States every 26 seconds, auto accidents occur every 8 seconds, and a college-aged female has a 1 in 4 chance of being sexually assaulted. People can’t always rely on police or campus security being nearby, and in certain emergency situations, getting help immediately can mean the difference between life and death. That’s why Silent Beacon was created – to help loved ones reach 911 and family members quickly and easily in the event of an emergency. With a single touch of a button, emergency personnel and loved ones can instantly track the user, speeding up the response rate – and ultimately allowing help to arrive faster.
The wearable, waterproof Silent Beacon is a Bluetooth device that connects wirelessly to a Smartphone so that users can immediately text, call, and email stored emergency contacts. Meanwhile, the Silent Beacon application utilizes technology in the Smartphone to push out data – without the need to fumble with passcodes or phone numbers during an emergency. Pressing the button on the app or device will activate the technology that notifies family and friends of the user’s situation and location, all in less than five seconds. In addition, the Silent Beacon device is capable of allowing users to talk directly to 911 or loved ones. Though the device itself is still in the final stages of development, the app is available for download now and can be found at https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/silent-beacon/id933730960?mt=8
Other features of the Silent Beacon include: GPS real-time tracking, indented buttons to avoid inadvertently sending an alert, push notifications, custom message capabilities, and an add-on optional call center service. Currently, customers can pre-order the device at SilentBeacon.com. This enables the buyer to lock in on a discounted rate that is more than 30% off the retail cost of the unit. Devices will start shipping this April; however, when the Silent Beacon becomes available in retail stores, the $60 price will then increase to $99.
Founder and CEO Kenneth Kelley was inspired to develop the Silent Beacon after being involved in a serious car accident that rendered his cell phone useless. In that moment, he realized that it was imperative for people to have a faster and more reliable method for contacting emergency assistance. Today, Silent Beacon, Inc. is working to reach its goal that every person with a Smartphone will have the ability to contact, alert, and be tracked by loved ones – and emergency personnel – in the event of a crisis. The company strives to keep its commitment to safety, convenience, affordability, and customer satisfaction as they improve safety for the general public, while maintaining superior quality, integrity, and excellence.

4iiii Viiiiva heart rate monitors use both the ANT+ PWR and Bluetooth Smart Cycling Power Service standards, which makes them compatible with nearly every headunit, smartphone, or computer you wish to connect to. Check your recording device documentation for ANT+ PWR or Bluetooth Smart (also called BLE, BTLE, or BT4.0) Cycling Power Service capability.
Tip: A 4iiii Viiiiva can be used to record your workouts along with your heart rate.
I use this with my Specialized Kenevo SL which has a HR display on the TCU (very useful). The bridge transfers the bike's cadence, power and pace/distance metrics from ANT+ via Bluetooth to the WorkOutDoors iOS app that I use (actually, it connects directly to the WorkOutDoors WatchOS app to record the ride). This is app also has a map and I've used it to navigate (from my watch) on MTB rides. This wouldn't be possible without this Viiiiva. I've noticed that using the Apple Watch GPS for distance metrics on MTB rides is not as accurate as actually using the data from the bike (rotations of wheel X wheel diameter which the app understands).
If you have ANT+ sensors and want to get that data via Bluetooth, get this!
(note: Viiiiva will only connect to one BT device at a time, so you may need to turn off BT on your phone after setting it up with the Viiiiva App to get it to connect to your watch. Then you can turn BT on your phone back on. Next time it will reconnect to the watch)
I haven’t received it yet. Ordered with a power meter install 12/10. Still waiting
Heart rate sensor picked up quickly, and was very accurate. Its bridging capabilities were very useful for my third party apps. I was able to use Viiiiva to pick up my Ant+ device and transmit it to Rouvy on my iPhone. Unfortunately, I was un able to use Viiiiva with the same Ant+ device for my AppleTV Rouvy app. I guess my iPhone Bluetooth works better than my AppleTV Bluetooth.
I love the Viiiiva as an HRM and for its Bluetooth relaying of older ANT sensors.
The fit file memory has come in handy a few times to recover ride data otherwise lost by a dead head unit.
AND the support is great. I started having some problems with my 3 year old Viiiiva and the support person quickly had my issue resolved.

Today, we hear a lot about IoT, which stands for Internet of Things. All these smart boxes, light bulbs, shades, thermostats, voice assistants, and smart machines are slowly sneaking into our households, businesses and industrial environments. It’s a logical and inevitable next step, as we include more devices in our homes, that we develop some way to control them.
Interconnecting and controlling smart home devices is possible using the
Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol.
When implementing the
MQTT protocol, users set up a server. For consumers, the server usually lives on a PC or a mini computer such as Raspberry Pi, to which devices can connect to and communicate with. While the
MQTT protocol itself is secure, if implemented and configured incorrectly, severe security issues can arise. At Avast, we took a closer look and using the
Shodan IoT search engine found more than
MQTT servers publicly visible on the internet due to a misconfigured
MQTT protocol. This includes more than
32,000 servers that had no password protection, putting these smart homes and businesses using such
MQTT servers at risk of leaking data. If the
MQTT protocol is not properly configured, cybercriminals can gain complete access to a home and for example, learn when their owners are at home, manipulate entertainment systems, voice assistants, household devices, and physically open smart doors.
Focusing on smart homes, you might be asking yourself: Why is a protocol like
MQTT necessary, if it could put my home’s security and privacy at risk? Manually controlling a few smart devices is not a problem, but as they increase in number in our homes, they take more time to manage, and become a burden. It’s like managing a big computer network manually. At some point, without automation, managing connected devices becomes more work than the convenience is worth. Then along come more smart devices that connect with each other and cooperate and do tasks on their own without human interaction. For example, your garage door opens automatically as you arrive back home from the office, your house lights turn on, the thermostat is configured to a comfortable temperature, and your stereo begins to play jazz music in the living room.
So far, sounds nice, but what about security? Authentication? Authorization?
Complex systems that allow you to control your whole house from a mobile device, basically from anywhere in the world, are being built. The question is —how secure are these systems? They may not be as secure as you think.
The problem with IoT security
The reason IoT security is lacking is because the devices are built using technology protocols that date back to the 1980s. This is generally because the early use cases for IoT devices were largely industrial. There was high demand for systems that could collect and process data from various machines in factories or production lines. These “networks” weren’t using internet protocols to exchange data. In fact, they usually did not have external connectivity, so security was not a top concern.
The other problem is that people don’t generally focus on security when setting up IoT devices. If you don’t encourage the user to change the settings (at least to change the default password), they will probably end up using the default configuration.
One of the most common protocols that smart devices use to communicate is
MQTT. It stands for
Message Queuing Telemetry Transport, and was developed in the late 1990s as one of the
SCADA protocols. It was used mainly for industrial automation and is, as its name suggests, for transporting short telemetry data messages. There is no standard for the format of data it transports — it will carry virtually any payload. The protocol is meant as a subscriber/publisher model. It works like an RSS feed: you subscribe to a topic, and once someone publishes something on the topic, the payload is delivered to all subscribers.
As mentioned earlier, there isn’t a security issue with the
MQTT protocol nor the most common server software that implements this protocol (or broker as it is known in the case of
MQTT), which is called
Mosquitto. In fact, both
Mosquitto have broad security capabilities — for example, to provide fine-grained access control by user and topic. As with many things, the problems are created in the implementation and configuration. Let’s explore some real world use cases for
MQTT before we dive into what can go wrong.
MQTT is often used to overcome the gap between different protocols, so that different devices can communicate with each other even if they do not communicate using the same protocol. It’s very convenient as it allows topics to be organized in a hierarchical structure, creating a unified namespace for the whole smart home. For example, a topic structure can look like this:
You can see the structure is hierarchical, in this case outlining a structure for connected devices in a home. One of the things that makes
MQTT so useful is that you can use wildcards when subscribing to the topics, similar to how filename or search wildcards work.
MQTT has two wildcards:
# stands for all levels from its location/occurence, down the hierarchy, so for example by subscribing to:
An IoT device will get any message published to
? stands for all categories on any level and can be used anywhere in the hierarchy, more than once. So by subscribing to:
the device will receive all messages regarding the lights in any room, as ? in this case can be a kitchen or garage, for example.
By combining subscriptions, you can create a very complex scenario for controlling a group of devices by publishing on just one topic. Publishers can be, for example,
MQTT-capable light switches. By pressing them, an
MQTT message is published and action is taken. Any device can be a publisher, subscriber, or both.
But to create a really smart home we are still missing one crucial component: Automation.
Home automation usually comes in the form of software, or perhaps a smart box, which contains “business logic” and acts as a “smart home hub” to unify the control of the devices, which is where
MQTT comes into the picture.
MQTT is included in most smart home hub software solutions, such as Home Assistant, so users can either install a package that includes
MQTT or install
MQTT separately when setting up their smart home hub. Smart home hubs usually subscribe and publish
MQTT messages and provide logic. They also provides some kind of dashboard, either locally or remotely, where you can control the whole “smart” home.
For example, if the hub gets the message from a soil sensor in your garden that the soil is too dry and knows that your water tank has enough water, it can activate the irrigation system to water your flowers. In this way, a number of smart devices can be connected to a smart hub, controlled, and even automated, using the
MQTT protocol, even if they weren’t originally designed to work together.
The problem with MQTT
Let’s lay out the problem more clearly.
We have an
MQTT server (
broker) with embedded security capabilities, which serves as a “messenger” between all components. We have a smart home hub which orchestrates all our devices and adds real intelligence to the whole system, and we have various
MQTT-bridged devices that are connected to the
This all sounds good and makes sense, but what if the
MQTT server does not have a secure configuration? As with a lot of vulnerabilities, the main issues are insecure and default configurations. What makes the misconfiguration of
MQTT worse is that by getting access to the
MQTT server, you get access to all the messages flowing through it. How? Remember
# as a wildcard? You can subscribe to just
# and nothing else. In such cases, every time someone publishes something on any topic, you’ll get that data.
More concerning is that many poorly configured
MQTT servers are also publicly available on the internet without any password, allowing a cybercriminal to spy on any house that uses it. The “advantage” for the cybercriminal is that if the server is publicly available, he or she can connect to it from anywhere. Further, as most users don’t set up access controls— in the form of Access Control Lists (
ACLs)—when they configure a
Mosquitto while setting up their smart home hub, cybercriminals can not only subscribe to the server, but can also publish to it, thus seizing control of all devices in a smart home.
So, what is the scale of this problem? According to the
Shodan IoT search engine, there are almost
49,000 MQTT servers exposed on the internet. Of these, there are approximately
32,000 servers with no password protection.
The vulnerabilities reflected by the total results above are most likely due to misconfigured
MQTT servers. As users set up these systems to remotely control their smart home, they often expose not only the “dashboard” or control panel of the system, but also the
MQTT server, as these two components usually run on the same machine or server. When this happens, it can leave users exposed. We found that, generally, it was not overly clear to users how they securely configure their
MQTT connection during the installation process.
Here are a few examples of what can happen in the event the system is misconfigured.
Five easy ways to hack a smart home
We decided to see how easy it would be to gain access to an exposed smart home:
1) Connecting and subscribing to wildcard topics on an unprotected MQTT server
Our first test was to find an open and unprotected
MQTT server and subscribe to the
# topic. This was easy enough and, once connected, we were able to receive every message published. In the case of some home automation systems, we could see the status of window sensors and open/closed doors. We could see every press of any light switch in the house and even the local weather forecast as you can see in the following image.
There are usually no
ACLs (Access Control Lists), which is a fine grained access control to the topics in place, so once you are connected, you can also publish to topics. In this case, you can control devices or at least poison the data being collected by publishing on behalf of the devices. For example, you can send messages to the hub as if you were the security sensor at the smart home’s front door smart lock, because
MQTT messages do not have a sender field so the message receiver is unable to determine where the request came from. Due to this, cybercriminals can easily perform “
replay attacks” and send messages on behalf of the devices connected to the hub.
2) Connecting to unprotected smart hub dashboards on a secure MQTT server
What if the server is protected? Can we still get access to the home dashboard? We found that a smart home can be hacked even on a secure
MQTT server, as sometimes a dashboard (smart home control panel) runs on the same IP address as the MQTT server.
Many homeowners use open source solutions for their smart home. The most popular software for smart hubs are readily available solutions such as
Home Assistant and
OpenHAB. When we looked for these, we were able to see a lot of default configurations, which surprisingly required no password. So, even if the
MQTT server is secure, the dashboard can be accessed as easily as typing the IP address into a browser. By doing this, onecan get complete access to the house, all through a nice UI, like this:
Exploiting this access would allow a cybercriminal to control any of the devices connected via the dashboard including lights, locks, heating and cooling systems, cameras, and more. With this control, a cybercriminal could do any number of things, such as secretly spy on or record people within their home, drastically adjust their home’s temperature, or gain entrance to the home while the homeowners are on vacation or at work, without setting off any alarms.
3) Reading files on a protected MQTT server with a protected dashboard
But what if both the dashboard and the server are protected? There should be no way to gain access to the smart home, right? Well, maybe there is. How? It is as simple as checking other services.
In the case of the
Home Assistant software “smart hub”, we found several instances of properly configured
MQTT servers that were not exposed and a dashboard that was properly configured and password-protected. But, what was astonishing is that we found open and unsecure
SMB is a protocol used for sharing files on internal networks, mainly on the Windows platform. We found publicly shared directories with all the
Home Assistant files including configuration files. And that’s not all. Let’s see what else we found:
As you can see in the image, when we tried guessing the password, leaving it blank or using the default password (“welcome”), it didn’t work. So far, so good. The dashboard is protected.
We then decided to run a Shodan query on the same IP address. It turned out that there was an
SMB (file sharing) service running without a security set. Note that
Home Assistant shares all the files of installed software including configuration files.
When we were browsing through the exposed files, a particular one caught our eye. Did you notice the
secrets.yaml file in the image above? When we opened it, we were astonished at the file’s content.
secrets.yaml file contained usernames and passwords stored in plain text. There are also many other accounts for different cloud services or
API keys that can be misused to gain control over them. What we were interested in was the
http_password field. Using that field for a login screen, we got this:
As you can see, that’s complete control over someone’s house. You can even play audio via Spotify. We were trying to find a reason why there are so many poorly protected instances of Home Assistant.
We believe that the problem here is that users are not aware of the fact that once they install
HomeAssistant on the server (in this case it’s probably
HASSBIAN flavor of
HomeAssistant intended as a ready made package for installation on various types of underlying hardware) and expose it to the internet to get access into the dashboard, they also often expose a Samba share that is used for accessing the configuration and installation files of
HomeAssistant. By doing this, they unwillingly leave the whole system exposed to anyone and leak all the passwords and
API keys stored there to the public. It has to be noted that even the tech savvy users sometimes lack basic knowledge of how to properly secure their open source systems.
4) Creating a UI on an unprotected MQTT server
Here are some interesting tools/apps out there that let you create a simple dashboard for an
MQTT-based smart home. We found an application called
MQTT Dash for Android and iOS that allows you to create your own dashboard and control panel for your home by placing various tiles on the screen and linking them with
MQTT topics. What is most interesting is how the application stores the layout of the dashboard and configuration. Instead of creating a special file on your device, you can publish the whole setting to the topic of the
MQTT server, and by doing so, can easily replicate the settings on as many devices as you wish.
That’s very convenient, but if the
MQTT server is not secure, a cybercriminal can easily get the same UI as the user. This provides an easy way to hack someone’s home and even get their UI with just one connection to their
MQTT server. Again, the default configuration makes it easier, and if there is a dashboard in use, such as one set up with the
MQTT Dash app, you’ll most likely find a topic with the name
metrics/exchange, a so-called
retained topic. If you subscribe to a retained topic, you’ll receive the last stored payload/data, which basically means you can easily load the whole dashboard, as you can see in the following picture:
5) Tracking device location
What could be worse?
MQTT servers typically concentrate on a lot of interesting and real time data. What we found is that many
MQTT servers, some of which were not even connected to a smart home system, contain one very interesting topic beginning with
owntracks/… If you do a short Google search, you can see that
OwnTracks is an Android and iOS application that works as a personal
GPS tracker. What is even more interesting is that it supports the
MQTT protocol to share your location with your friends or family. Up until now, this sounds like an innocent function, right? Wrong! This feature is usually configured by connecting to an
MQTT server without any encryption or authorization. Moreover, to be able to connect your phone to an
MQTT server, you need to expose it to the internet and unfortunately, many users setup the configuration without considering any security measures.
OwnTracks then sends a
JSON message to the
owntracks/… each time the phone changes location. Creepy right? Let’s see what the message looks like:
lat (latitude) and
alt (altitude) fields are self explanatory. You can even see the battery level of the phone is also sent to the server. The “tst” field is actually a timestamp for the position and is written in the UNIX epoch format and after decoding we found out the timestamp is from:
Tue 7 August 2018 11:26:48 UTC. Using all this information you can easily reconstruct someone’s position during the day, month or year. And remember, all this information is available as real-time data.
Now you’re probably asking yourself, why share your location with the
MQTT server? Well the answer is ….automation and convenience. Some of the “smart home” hubs or systems allow you to share your position with them to provide you with a better experience. Remember the scenario where your house automatically turns on the lights as you get close to home? Or, you could have your system turn off all the lights whenever nobody is at home. The sharing of
GPS location information is exactly what the system needs to provide this functionality. The problem here again is security, more specifically, unsecured protocols and unencrypted
OwnTracks messages. All because users rely on default configurations.
Because there are still many poorly secured protocols dating back to bygone technology eras when security was not a top concern, it is frighteningly easy to gain access and control of a person’s smart home. The convenience of IoT devices and smart home hubs connected to the internet is a double-edged sword, and there is a trade-off between ease-of-use and security.
Consumers need to be aware of the security concerns of connecting IoT devices that control personal parts of their home to services they don’t fully understand and the importance of properly configuring their devices. Industry-wide, we have called for better device-level security for IoT devices. In order to ensure users’ entire smart home ecosystem is secured, manufacturers need to develop IoT devices which are simple for consumers to set up with a high-level of security. Lastly, there is a need for more secure control solutions that allow consumers to confidently use technology in their homes with the knowledge that it is secure and their privacy protected.
IoT devices are slowly creeping their way into our homes—it is crucial to implement them correctly now, as we will only be adding more as time goes on


The entire island nation of Sri Lanka will soon get internet service – all of it beamed from balloons – thanks to a contract with Google to create internet connections in the sky.
Google’s Project Loon uses a network of 13 giant balloons, riding air currents, to deliver smartphone-based internet service to the people below. This will allow all 21 million people living in Sri Lanka to be able to access the internet through their smartphones or tablets, just as those devices would connect to a cell tower.
Google created the project to deliver cheap internet to remote and inaccessible parts of the world where running cables and fiber optics are impractical or too expensive.
Each balloon can stay aloft for 100 days and can fly twice as high as commercial airliners. Google said they can build each balloon in a matter of hours and launch 12 per day with a single crane. They eventually plan to have thousands of the balloons in the air at a time, covering remote corners of the world from the Arctic to Australia.
Project Loon originally tested this idea in New Zealand in 2012, but Sri Lanka will be the first place the project delivers internet to when it goes online within the next few months.


Have you ever noticed that your wireless connection has much resemblance with the electricity? I am saying this because they both are noticeable in the situation only when they are down.
Well, you don’t need to panic anymore in this case. This article will help you in solving the biggest problems with your WIFI connection. Some main wireless connection problems with that I will highlight in this article are:
1. No/Weak WIFI signals in some parts of house
2. Some devices having issue in connecting to the wireless network
3. Connection dropout at random times
4. Loss WIFI password
5. Wireless connection range issues
6. Unsecured wireless connection
7. Bandwidth Hogging
Before explaining to you how to solve these issues I will let you know what WIFI is.
It is basically a network protocol through which you can connect your device to the internet wirelessly. You don’t need any internet cord to establish an online connection in this case.
No doubt it is the most popular means of connecting devices to the internet but it is observed that people face certain issues while using it. These issues are not permanent you can solve them by following some simple steps.
1) No/Weak WIFI Signals in Some Parts of House:
Such areas in your house that are covered with the WIFI but can’t have good WIFI signals are referred to as dead zones. You stop receiving signals on your devices when you enter such parts in your home.
The main cause of this dead zone is any interference with the WIFI radio signals.
This problem is very much common. To resolve this issue of WIFI dead zone checks your router position first. Try to place it in the middle of your house so that you may enjoy its signal in every part of your house.
Make sure you have updated your router firmware to the latest one available. To do this you will need to contact your ISP or the manufacturer of your router.
Also, make sure you don’t put it near your microwave as its wave would cause an interference with the wireless signals. Cordless phones can also cause an issue with the signals.
2) Some Devices Having Issue in Connecting To the Wireless Network:
[image = Some Devices Having Issue in Connecting To the Wireless Network.jpg]
First, check the devices that aren’t able to connect to the internet are using which protocol. Some other possible situation to this issue is:
- To connect to the wireless connection they should use the TCP/IP protocol and the settings to accept the DHCP assignment must be enabled on them.
- Another thing to check is MAC filtering.
- Also, check your hardware devices. Check them if they are working fine or not. Maybe the issue might be with the device and not with your wireless connection.
- Try connecting those devices at different times of the day. Your router might have some restrictions in connecting to a limited number of devices at a time.
- Disable the encryption.
- Change the SSID.
- Try to keep the SSID not more than 8 characters.
If any of the above solutions don’t work then you must reset your router.
3) Connection Dropout at Random Times:
[image= Connection Dropout at Random Times.jpg]
Just imagine a scene in that you are resting on your couch with a cup of coffee and watching a movie on the internet then suddenly your WIFI connection goes down.
Just think for a while, you are enjoying a game using virtual reality environment and suddenly you see a blackout in front of your eyes. This is because you WIFI connections get down.
This unexpected dropping of wireless connection for no reason is very much painful.
Mostly your router and network card are responsible for this dropout. Some solutions to fix this issue are:
- You must try changing the channel of your router. Set your wireless network to a higher channel to get a good connection.
- Upgrade your drivers
- Open your Device Manager from the control panel. Then search for your network card. You will find in under network adapter. Double click on it to see whether there are any settings enabled that are responsible for shutting done your card abruptly.
- Perform a power cycle of your hardware. To do this shutdown all your hardware. These hardware devices include your modem, router, and your wireless device. Then switch them on. The first switch on your modem, then router and, in the end, your wireless device.
If you experience this dropout after every couple of second i.e. your wireless connection disconnects and then connects back again then the reason might be that your wireless device is searching for IP address and the DHCP server is unable to find it.
To solve it in Windows OS open the commands prompt and then enter the following commands:
4) Lost WIFI Password:
[image = Lost WIFI Password.jpg]
Does it also happen with you that your device is connected to wireless connection but when any of your friends ask for its password you feel ashamed just because you don’t remember your
If anyone of your devices is still connected to that wireless network you can easily know its password. To do these follow these simple steps.
- From control panel open ‘network and internet’.
- Then clinking on ‘network connection’ you will see an option saying ‘WIFI’
- Right click on it and then click status
- A popup will appear. From there click on the button labeled wireless properties
- A window will get opened. Open the security tab. On that window, you will see
- Then click show characters to view your password.
If you need to get the password when you are on your android phone then you can do
it very easily using WIFI recovery app.
5) Wireless Connection Range Issues:<


GIVES BEEP WHEN WATER IS IN CONTACT WITH THE WIRE
Rain Alarm Project view
Water is a conductor of electricity. When water is in contact with the probe then there is a flow of current which reaches to the base of Q1. Transistor Q1 is a NPN transistor which conducts. With the conduction of Q1 electron reaches to Q2 which is a PNP transistor .Q2 also conducts and current flows through the speaker. In a speaker there is inductive coil which causes motion in one direction and also produce induce current which is in opposite direction to the flow of current this induce current in the form of pulse flows through a capacitor, resistance and switches off Q1 and relax .this process repeats again and again till probe is in contact with water or we can say there is a oscillation in the circuit thus speaker diaphragm vibrates and gives a tone. Frequency of the circuit depends on the value of Speaker Coil impedance, Capacitor and Resistance Value.

NoiseMeters is now shipping a new version of the Noise Nuisance Recorder, or NNR. These units are left in the premises with the noise complaint to measure the sound levels continuously. When the complainant hears the unwanted noise they press a button on a remote control to start the NNR recording the audio. You can listen to the audio while viewing the noise charts to help identify the source - shouting, banging, music and dogs barking are the most common causes of neighbour noise complaints.
The new models, NNR-P-A1 and NNR-P-A2 have the following features:
When a resident complains about noise from a neighbour it can be difficult to prove that there is a real problem. Maybe the complainant is over sensitive or maybe the person making the noise is careful to be quiet whenever somebody in authority visits. While it is very important to measure the sound levels accurately using a sound level meter, these measurements don't mean so much if you can't identify what caused them.
With a Noise Nuisance Recorder, the complainant has a remote control. When they hear the noise in question they press a button to start an audio recording. This will usually run for a few minutes. It is also important to only record what is needed, for the privacy for the resident and also for whoever is making the report - they certainly don't want to listen to hours of recordings.
With the accurate sound level measurements and positive identification from the audio recording a clear case can be made.

Direct From The Users -- Direct2data Lets The Beta
Direct From The Users -- Direct2data Lets The BetaJacksonville, FL October 2, 2003 PARKERVISION, INC. (Nasdaq NMS: PRKR), announced today that Direct2Data™ has added to its ParkerVision Wireless website an initial series of beta user testimonials. The User Review section of the website is designed to help potential customers understand the benefits of ParkerVision Wireless networking products through the experiences of independent third party users. Users were selected based on geographic as well as application diversity. The company's goal is to test as many different environments as possible with typical consumer users. Additional user experiences will be added to the ParkerVision web site over time.
"Consumers experience significant discrepancies between what many wireless products claim and the actual performance they achieve. Indoor wireless environments, especially for broadband Internet applications are challenging. The performance that can be achieved outdoors in somewhat ideal operating conditions usually is far different from what consumers experience in actual indoor use. Our outdoor distance performance of up to one mile equates to the world's best indoor wireless performance for home or office applications.
To date our real world testing experience shows that a single ParkerVision system will cover the vast majority of all homes and small offices. Even the enterprise environment will benefit from the longer reach of our technology. "Our goal for the ParkerVision WLAN card and future products is to significantly narrow the gap between the reliability of a wire and mobility of wireless" commented Jeffrey L. Parker, CEO.

Bauscher Hepp is taking automation to a whole new level.
The glassware distributor has paired Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology with plates, to automate the payment process for diners.
The Smart Plate has a transponder equipped with the Payment by Intelligent Solutions system, or the PABIS chip that can read what type of menu item is in the plate.
Here's how this technology works--
"In a serving line, a plate is handed to a guest, and in the process, the plate is passed over a chip reader. At this point, the transponder chip is encoded, meaning the plate then "knows" the meal item and its corresponding price," writes Bauscher Hepp. "In a self-serve line, the information about the menu item and the price is transmitted to the transponder chip as soon as the guest grabs the plate. At the end of the line, guests place food trays onto the counter next to the register, which is also equipped with a chip reader. The information saved on the various transponder chips is automatically transmitted to the payment system, and the total price is displayed."
To put it simply, the chip reads the meal then transmits the information to the register, saving the cashier and customer time.
Not only does this give the customer quicker speed-of-service, but it can lower costs by 50 percent. The chip also collects inventory data, so products can be replaced, reordered and restored, which helps to improve the efficiency in the back of the house.
But plates aren't the only glassware that can be used with this chip technology either, glasses can also be equipped, so operators can track beverage purchases.
Are Smart Plates and the Smart Glasses the future of dining? Read more at "Bauscher Hepp" now.


Developed to facilitate people's daily lives, the "Internet of Things" (IoT) has also been explored in the manufacturing chain. The term refers to the act of connecting any equipment to the computer network. Besides improving people’s routine, this technological revolution can increase the productivity and profitability of the companies that bet on this strategy.
Sumig, a company specialized in welding and cutting solutions, recently launched a service that fits this innovative concept. With the Intellimig Portal, customers with smart machines, such as Sumig cells and guns, can access all information regarding welding processes through remote management.
The method used for this management is practical and easy to use. When you purchase a Sumig smart cell or gun, the customer receives a key access to the Intellimig Portal. With this login, the user can connect to the web platform through any computer or mobile device.
Data regarding the welding processes of the factory appear in the system in real time. Besides monitoring production, Intellimig Portal crosses information to generate many technical and graphical reports. It is worth highlighting that all this data is stored on a totally secure and reliable server.
Smart machines provide more profitability
By controlling welding processes, the Intellimig system can do more than just reporting failures: it enables the welder to prevent them. Since Sumig' smart machines rely on a programmable electronic device, they are able to analyze and control the previously defined parameters.
This function provides real-time monitoring of the machine's voltage and current, interacting directly with the welder. When the professional operates with parameters out of the process variability, an alert is activated. When the machine reaches some critical values, it blocks momently. This avoids wastes on operation time.
Another Intellimig differential is the user’s identification. Each welder and each machine can receive a different register, which allows the production monitoring in a more detailed way. The parameterization of processes is done by the machine’s administrator login, which is protected by a specific password.
All these innovations provided by Intellimig result in a higher welding quality, since its repeatability is determined. Constant process monitoring also generates management charts, which can be used for cost control and operations optimization.
Watch the video to know how this device can move your company to the next level:
