- Check the contents of messages : define a set of rules to determine
which messages should be intercepted, or which messages should not be
intercepted (this is useful to define exceptions with respect to other
rules). Check for attachments, active content in HTML messages,
the sender's name or address, hidden message headers, or words in the message subject.
For each rule you decide what should happen: send a notification,
the message, or the encapsulated message to the destination and/or
other destinations. Or send a customizable notification back to the sender of the message
(this can also be used to make an auto-responding system).

Mobile phone accessories refer to the directly related accessories selected when using mobile phones, mainly including mobile phone cases, mobile phone films, chargers, data cables, mobile phone memory cards, mobile phone holders, selfie sticks, external lenses, mobile power supplies, mobile phone batteries, headphones, stereos, etc.
So what are the precautions for express air freight mobile phone accessories to foreign countries. The following small series will give you a detailed introduction. 1. Pay attention to the tariff threshold of each country and declare the goods reasonably. 2. Goods exceeding the value above the duty-free quota of the destination country cannot be cleared by express mail. 3. Import of high-value express shipments: For express shipments whose declared value is higher than the tariff threshold, the recipient needs to provide relevant document assistance during customs clearance
In 2021, orders in the mobile phone accessories market increased by 32% year-on-year, and new customers increased by 104%. Throughout the year, sellers can focus on four sales nodes, namely the Chinese New Year in February, the Spring New Product Sale in March, the Anniversary Promotion in August, and the European and American Black Friday shopping stocking season in November.
The mobile phone and accessories industry mainly covers 4 secondary categories: mobile phone accessories, mobile phone complete machines, smart wearable and mobile phone internal accessories. Among them, mobile phone accessories mainly include TWS headphones, mobile phone cases, chargers, cables, screen films and mobile phone holders.
In 2021, the global TWS headset market shipped 290 million units, a year-on-year increase of 14.5%. Among them, Apple's TWS headset shipments in 2021 are close to 93 million units, ranking first in the world; Samsung's shipments in 2021 reached 28 million units, a year-on-year increase of 19%, ranking second; Xiaomi ranked third with more than 23 million TWS headset shipments, up 3% year-on-year.
There are international express DHL、 UPS、 FedEx、 TNT and EMS from home to abroad、 which are often used by us. You can send parcels、 food、 cosmetics and other items via international express official mail、 which are not normally shipped、 and
The official price is also relatively high、 which can be sent through an international forwarding company、 which international express to send、 depending on the weight and timeliness requirements you send、 etc.、 and choose the appropriate carrier.
In 15 years、 AliExpress has started the overseas warehouse project、 but this overseas warehouse is a cooperative third-party overseas warehouse. There are also introductions about overseas warehouse services on AliExpress's official website、 and you can also contact Taobo's supply chain.
For sellers、 the platform will give different support to overseas warehouse sellers
1) The flow must be inclined
2) Overseas warehouse sellers default to local return and exchange service、 which is also a better buyer experience
3) The setting of freight template allows you to set local delivery、 which is more reliable and preferred for buyers
Overseas warehouse itself also has many advantages: low scale effect、 low cost、 fast delivery of local return and replacement、 good buyer experience、 no congestion in peak season、 no impact of customs clearance、 buyer experience、 expand sales categories、 large goods can also be managed by warehouse and handled by a third party、 simple operation、 and platform traffic tilt


Shipping companies will be able to access cloud-based solutions for fleet management worldwide following investments by Microsoft and SE.
SES has become Microsoft’s new multi-orbit satellite connectivity partner as part of the Azure Orbital drive. Both companies will jointly invest in Azure Orbital ground stations that SES will deploy and manage to support its medium Earth orbit (MEO) O2b Power constellation.
The first gateways will be located in Phoenix, Arizona US, and Quincy, in Western Australia.
SES and Microsoft plan to co-locate several telemetry, tracking and command systems, and data ground stations with Microsoft’s Azure edge sites enabling maritime users of O3b Power connectivity to access Azure networks and cloud services within satellite coverage over the world’s oceans.
SES said this would improve the network performance, security, flexibility and scalability users would need to capitalise on new revenue opportunities.
“Our launch of Azure Orbital will enable our partners’ customers to on-ramp their data into Azure where it can immediately be processed with data analytics, geospatial tools and machine learning services, adding another layer of automation and intelligence in their networks,” said Microsoft manager of Azure networking and the partner programme Jeff Cohen. “SES’s O3b mPower communications system aligns with our connectivity vision for the future.”
SES expects to begin launching O3b mPower satellites in 2021. This constellation will have higher throughput and lower latency than geostationary satellites and its own existing MEO units.
It will have automated and intelligence-powered ground infrastructure to deliver managed services of hundreds of Mbps up to multiple Gbps to users, which currently include cruise ships, naval fleets and offshore installations.
Both Microsoft and SES have worked to introduce services to Azure with SES implementing an open network automation platform using technology hosted on Azure.
“In the last 12-18 months, our focus has been to accelerate our customers’ cloud adoption plans,” said SES Networks chief executive JP Hemingway.
“This agreement leverages both companies’ knowledge in satellite infrastructure and cloud expertise. These are building blocks in developing new and innovative solutions for the future,” he said.
“One-hop connectivity to the cloud from remote sites will enable our MEO customers to enhance their cloud application performance, optimise business operations with much flexibility and agility needed to expand new markets,” Mr Hemingway added.

It will allow you to control the power settings – on/off the fan, change the speed, change the lights – dimmable etc. The app supports all the functions that you can access with the help of a Bluetooth remote.
A number of universal remotes are available to do this function. You need to get a Bluetooth remote in order to make this idea work for your ceiling fan too.
The main purpose of using this application is to get rid of the hardware. One can lose a remote control, you may need to buy a replacement remote for your ceiling fan. It can be an expensive thing to do.
Want a replacement remote for your Harbor Breeze?
Once you sync the remote app for your Harbor breeze ceiling fan, it will be an easy task for you to handle your ceiling fan as well as talk with the phone at the same time.
Lastly, it is also possible to connect these features using a home automation system.


WiFi has undoubtedly made life easier in being able to connect devices to our networks, but how good is it really?
Many home and Small businesses have a basic WiFi setup as it allows simple connections of their computers and other devices. For simple needs such as surfing the internet and accessing emails, this is more than adequate. However, when you need to share larger files or database hungry applications – WiFi just doesn’t cut it.
If you need to share large files, a database such as your accounting software or do a fair amount of video conferencing, then a wired Ethernet connection can prove beneficial.
Some of the issues that may deter many people from implementing a wired network could be the added cost in running data cabling, having additional connections running from the device to the socket or switch and general lack of understanding.
Now to put a few things in perspective (as we’re not ruling WiFi out completely) there are a few basics to cover.
WiFi Standards – 802.11
You may have seen 802.11 listed on your WiFi device. 802.11 is the standard of communication that WiFi uses. You may have also seen a series of letters following this. The most common are a, b, g or n (or perhaps a combination). The letters refer to the maximum theoretical speed that the WiFi signal can be transmitted at.
The most common these days would be “g” closely followed by “n”.
802.11g is the most common on most basic routers. The maximum theoretical speed is 54 Mbps (Megabits per second). Typically we see transmission levels in the range from 10 Mbps to 24 Mbps in real world scenarios.
802.11n is a newer standard that was introduced several years ago. 802.11n has a theoretical maximum speed of 300 Mbps, but in reality this may only be half as much. Cost wise, a good “n” router can be double or triple the cost of a standard “g” router.
There has also recently been a new standard introduced which is 802.11ac. This is still relatively new and has a theoretical speed into the Gbps range (Gigabits per second).
Ethernet or Wired Connections
Ethernet connections are sometimes referred to as the “blue spaghetti”. The cables that connect the devices to the switch or router are usually “Cat5” or “Cat5e” cables which can allow for speeds upwards of 1000Mbps (1Gbps).
Ethernet is more reliable than WiFi because the connection is permanent and is rarely affected by external sources. The WiFi signal can be impacted by other devices that work on the same frequencies such as cordless phones, wireless speakers and microwave ovens. Ethernet is less susceptible to these interferences.
These days there are two main standards for Ethernet. Fast Ethernet which connects the two devices at 100Mbps and the newer version Gigabit Ethernet that operates at 1 Gbps (which is becoming increasingly more popular). The achievable speed of Gigabit Ethernet is dependent on the capabilities of the network card, network switch or router and cabling between the devices.
So what difference does this make?
Say we had a 100 MB (Megabyte) file to transfer from one computer to another on our network (note that these calculations assumes all things being ideal and equal and does not make allowances for any influencing factors).
Over a standard 802.11g WiFi connection (with an average connection speed of 25Mbps) this file would take approximately 30 seconds.
Over a standard 802.11n WiFi connection (with an average connection speed of 150MBps) this file would take approximately 5 seconds.
Over a new Gigabit Ethernet wired connection, this file would take less than 2 seconds
As you can see there can be some significant differences. But what if the file was a little larger? Lets take a file that is 1 GB (Gigabyte) in size with the same scenario:
Over a standard 802.11g WiFi connection (with an average connection speed of 25Mbps) this file would take approximately 5 minutes.
Over a standard 802.11n WiFi connection (with an average connection speed of 150MBps) this file would take approximately a minute.
Over a new Gigabit Ethernet wired connection, this file would take approximately 10 seconds.
Now you can see there are some significant time savings. In an office environment where there are many users, the saving to a business can be significant and far outweigh the cost of implementing a wired connection.

Adapting to the demands of continuously changing environments requires the enterprise to have a flexible and robust data integration platform. Informatica provides a variety of data integration solutions for the enterprise to achieve its strategic goals. Different industries have varying level of security requirements. Different data integration architectures create new set of security challenges. In order to protect information assets and comply with regulatory requirements, challenges arising from the security aspect of the data integration activities need to be addressed swiftly.
This document focuses on the security dimension of the Informatica client tools and explains how Desktop Virtualization solutions, such as Terminal Services and Citrix, can be used to harden the Informatica data integration platform. Desktop Virtualization solutions provide security and agility while maximizing productivity for Informatica users. Advances in mobile computing have introduced new security challenges. As the number of Informatica developers, administrators and operators who use laptops for performing their duties increase, potential theft and loss of laptops pose security risks. Desktop Virtualization can play an important role to mitigate these risks.
Informatica products offer flexibility to implement different data integration architectures. Each implementation creates a different set of security challenges. First, it is important to explore some of the security challenges in different implementation scenarios. Outsourcing is a technology trend that has unique security requirements. For example, a team of off-shore developers in India may need to connect to the Informatica servers based in North America. The communication over Wide Area Network (WAN) can be exposed to risk of breach. Therefore, additional configuration steps may be necessary to ensure security.
The key premise of Desktop Virtualization for Informatica client tools is to provide access to the production, test and development Informatica environments only through the Terminal Server or Citrix Server hosting the Informatica client tools. By hosting the Terminal Server or Citrix Server and Informatica Server within the same controlled data center environment and in the same trusted network, network intrusion threats are diminished. To isolate and secure the network connection between the Informatica Server and the Terminal Server or Citrix Server, VPN can be used. Ports to allow debugging of mappings need to be available in case VPN is used.
Before getting into the details of various Desktop Virtualization options, it would be useful to discuss planning for the Desktop Virtualization environment. Informatica recommends a dedicated server environment for hosting Informatica client tools to maintain control over responsiveness. Whether using Terminals Services or Citrix, capacity planning for the server hosting Informatica client tools should be done in advance of the Desktop Virtualization implementation.
The first step is to collect information about Informatica users’ work patterns. Based on the type of users, such as administrators, developers and operators, there will be different work patterns and work times for each group. For example, the administrator group might use the browser-based Informatica Administrator tool. The developer group might use PowerCenter Designer or Informatica Developer to open large mappings that require CPU and memory resources. The operator group might only use the PowerCenter Workflow Monitor to watch the batch cycle during night. Once the work pattern for each type of user group is determined, the high-level resource consumption for each group should be calculated. This information should be used for making estimates about the server.
The capacity planning guidelines for the server include allocating percentage of a CPU per user, allocating a working set amount of memory per user and allocating a disk spindle for every 20 to 30 simultaneous users. A separate controller is recommended for the OS running on the server. 64-bit OS is recommended to take advantage of the memory resources of the server. The server should have additional sockets to handle future growth for CPU and memory. Furthermore, server farms can be deployed if a single server is not sufficient to meet the responsiveness requirements of the Informatica users. Server farms also provide redundancy by eliminating a single point of failure.
Network bandwidth plays important role in determining the user experience. High-speed network connectivity should be chosen between the server and users. Any network traffic over a public network would introduce latency. For SSL connections, default TCP port 443 should be open on the firewall between the server and users.
Terminal Services (Remote Desktop Services in Windows Server 2008 R2) has been utilized by numerous Informatica customers for Desktop Virtualization and for addressing the security risks that arise from network connectivity over WAN. By securing Informatica client tools in a data center and providing access over Transport Layer Security (TLS), Terminal Services helps organizations meet regulatory compliance requirements. Network speeds have continuously improved to provide a responsive user experience for Terminal Services users. Combined with the security advantages and low implementation costs, using Terminal Services for accessing Informatica client tools offer a strong alternative to direct installation of the Informatica client tools on end-user workstations and laptops.
Dedicated Terminal Server hosting the Informatica client tools should be secured to allow only Informatica client tools to be executed and to prevent installation of other software. This includes preventing users from running the command prompt, browsing the network or browsing the computer. If Informatica command line interfaces are needed, these could be executed using a restricted command prompt option that allows only commands, such as infacmd, pmcmd and pmrep. By restricting access to the Start Menu and Networking Items, back doors to the operating system would be closed.
White-list approach to executable programs that are allowed to run on the Terminal Server provides additional security. Enabling “Run Only Specified Applications” setting and adding Informatica client tools to the list prevents all other programs from running. Additionally, Software Restriction Policies should be used to block unauthorized applications, scripts and macros from running on a Terminal Server. Through Group Policy on the Terminal Server, the administrator can allow or deny use of the Informatica client tools for groups of users.
Another way to restrict users to access only Informatica client tools running on the Terminal Server is to configure TS RemoteApp. This functionality is available in Windows Server 2008 R2 and allows users to double-click on a file on their workstation to launch Informatica client tools hosted on the Terminal Server. This eliminates the need for the user to launch Informatica client tools within another desktop. Instead, Informatica client tools are launched from the user’s desktop and are ready to use immediately. If there are any user issues during the interaction with Informatica client tools, the TS RemoteApp session would terminate.
Network connection vulnerabilities can be addressed by securing the client connections to the Terminal Server running Informatica client tools. At the core of eliminating network connection vulnerabilities lies a secure but fast data stream between the clients and the Terminal Server. There are key Windows components to use for this purpose including Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) encryption levels, server authentication mechanisms and the Credential Security Service Provider.
To avoid interception of the network traffic between the Informatica users’ workstations and Terminal Servers running Informatica client tools, FIPS-compliant encryption should be used. FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standard) compliant encryption uses Triple Data Encryption Standard (DES) for encrypting the TLS traffic, RSA for the public key exchange and Secure Hashing Algorithm (SHA-1) for the TLS hashing. Terminal Server can be configured to use FIPS-compliant encryption using Group Policies or Terminal Server configuration.
Protecting the credentials of the users is necessary for the security of the Informatica environment as well as the entire network. User credentials may be compromised if rogue servers impersonate the Terminal Server which the user is trying to connect. To validate the identity of the server, TLS should be configured. By using asymmetric encryption, TLS will authenticate the server and share a session key for securing the connection. As a result of authenticating the server and using session keys valid only for the duration of the sessions, session theft can be avoided.
Reversely, to protect the Terminal Server and the Informatica client tools from malicious connections, only workstations with Network Layer Authentication (NLA) should be allowed to connect to the Terminal Server. This can be enforced by using Group Policies. The CredSSP (Credential Security Service Provider) is the technology that supports NLA. The CredSSP passes the user credentials to the Terminal Server via a secure channel. If the Terminal Server is configured to accept connections from a workstation, it will start to build a session for the user. This prevents extraction of credentials using sniffing and using them to establish unauthorized connections to the Informatica client tools.
Citrix provides XenApp product for centralizing applications and controlling access to applications. Informatica customers leverage Citrix for enhancing reliability, maintainability and security of Informatica client tools. To ensure secure access to servers and to meet regulatory requirements, Citrix offers cryptographic modules that are FIPS 140 compliant. By configuring TLS for Citrix, server authentication, client authentication and encrypted connections can be achieved.
With the advent of off-shore development facilities for Informatica customers, Citrix has been adopted early by a large number of customers. When Informatica client tools are hosted on the Citrix server, only mouse clicks and keystrokes transit the network between data center and Informatica users. Centralized password control, multi-factor authentication, and encrypted delivery features of Citrix eliminate sensitive data loss over WAN.
Compared to Terminal Services which use Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), Citrix uses Independent Computing Architecture (ICA) protocol to present resources to users. ICA Protocol can be configured to provide secure and optimal performance for connections over WAN. In a Citrix deployment for Informatica client tools, access to RDP can be restricted to provide access to the Citrix server only through ICA.
To secure the Citrix server, protection of the BIOS with passwords is needed. Moreover, USB blockers should be installed to minimize security risks from USB devices. Enabling alerts to monitor metrics on the server is a proactive method to defend the Citrix server. There are Intrusion Detection Systems that can be leveraged for signature detection and anomaly detection to monitor the network. Disaster recovery plans should be put in place to ensure the Citrix server is able to host the Informatica client tools under any circumstance. Change management policies should be put in place to handle upgrades and installation of hotfixes for the Informatica client tools.
In order to secure the network connections to the Citrix Server, several components of the Citrix deployment should be configured. By default, the inbound port on Citrix servers is 1494 and the outbound port is allocated dynamically when ICA session is established. When session reliability for ICA sessions is configured, traffic is tunneled through Common Gateway Protocol that uses port 2598. Therefore, it is important to note that ports 1494 and 2598 should be opened only to inbound traffic.
Session reliability allows Informatica users to maintain their sessions active even though network connectivity is temporarily severed. This is similar to Informatica timeout setting for resilience. Session reliability is established by using “Seconds to keep sessions active” parameter which is set to 180 seconds by default. Extending the amount of time to keep the sessions active may create vulnerabilities. Therefore, Informatica recommends changing this setting carefully.
Some of the other ICA client settings that can be configured to make the ICA sessions more secure is using SSL/TLS for communications, not allowing user passwords to be saved, using two-factor authentication such as smart card, and disabling client device mapping such as hard drives and the clipboard. TLS protocols are enabled in two places: when an Informatica client tool is published, TLS is enabled on the Citrix server side. From the user workstations that act as clients to the Citrix server, TLS can also be enabled.
SecureICA is another Citrix security functionality that can be used for internal networks. SecureICA is not recommended for connecting to Informatica client tools over a public network. Unlike TLS encryption, SecureICA does not provide server authentication. Therefore, when connecting over a public network, sensitive data may be intercepted and rerouted to a rogue server.
Hardware- and software-based SSL proxy allows remote users to access Informatica client tools that are hosted on the Citrix server to traverse the firewall without the need to open additional ports. A proxy server accepts connection requests from Informatica users and redirects the request to the Citrix server hosting Informatica client tools. The proxy server adds another layer of security to the network connection. This is especially important for preventing network intrusions and protecting the integrity of the communication between Informatica users and Informatica client tools.
Citrix XenApp policies should be used in cooperation with Windows Group Policies to control connections based on user, group, IP range and client names. Integration with Active Directory Group Policies also enables rapid Informatica user on-boarding. Furthermore, policies can even be used to optimize performance by setting bandwidth limits, feature availability and latency reduction. Using application publishing policies, a subset of Informatica client tools can be made available to groups of users. For example, Informatica administrators can have access to a full set of Informatica client tools whereas Informatica operators can have access to only Workflow monitors.
Finally, activity monitoring capabilities offered by Citrix should be used for recording sessions when needed. This will increase accountability and provide an audit trail for regulatory compliance. Other monitoring tools such as PowerCenter Proactive Monitoring, IBM Tivoli and HP OpenView could be used along with Citrix health checks to detect any suspicious activity in the Informatica environment. Concurrent connections on the server can be monitored and even limited for maximizing performance. As additional server capacity is added, limit on concurrent connections can be increased.
When the Informatica data integration platform is exposed to internal and external threats due to the sensitive nature of the enterprise data assets, it might be necessary to take drastic steps to prevent any type of network intrusion and compromise of information. One of these steps may be to block direct access to the Informatica client tools and provide access only through Desktop Virtualization solutions, such as Terminal Services or Citrix. This would also mean removing the Administrator privilege from local workstations so that users cannot install Informatica client tools on their own. TCP port forwarding on the Informatica server might be turned off to prevent users from running client tools through ssh tunnels. Hosting the Informatica client tools in the same data center as the Informatica server and providing TLS encrypted network access to the Informatica environment will certainly help the enterprise comply with regulations.


AWS IoT Platform for the Internet of Things: Benefits & Examples
When a company works on an IoT project, their team has to handle many devices, tools, and security specifications. This is where IoT platforms enter the game, allowing for tracking of data storage, communication, safety, and collaborate across different teams.
The undeniable leader among IoT platforms is Amazon AWS IoT Services — a cloud service designed specifically for IoT software development and supported by Amazon Web Services. In this article, we will take a look at the main features of the platform, its benefits, and some use cases.
What is AWS IoT Services?
AWS IoT Services is a cloud platform that works with thousands of connected devices and is capable of processing trillions of requests simultaneously. To store communication files and enable features, AWS IoT Services offers cloud infrastructure — the information is stored on Amazon Web Services servers.
What Solutions Can the AWS IoT platform Offer For IoT Devices?
The Amazon Internet of Things platform essentially connects IoT devices to the Cloud. Each device transfers its information to the device shadow. The shadow service will respond to requests and work with the app’s functionality.
X.509 certificates project the communications between the actual device and its shadow service. This is a basic idea behind the AWS IoT platform — let’s take a closer look at its leading solutions.
- IoT Device Management: a service that allows registering, organizing, securing, monitoring, and managing remotely connected devices and sensors. The service provides real-time statistics on the application’s performance and allows uploading multiple devices in one go.
- IoT Device Defender: Amazon IoT platform makes sure to collect security reports from all connected devices — these metrics are sent to the Device defender, which audits whether metrics show abnormalities. If there’s a strange access attempt or unnatural behavior, Defender updates AWS Cloud Watch, IoT Console, and Device Management.
- AWS Lambda: a software development environment where developers can write and edit code, aggregate projects from other AWS services (including IoT), and run code as soon as it's written. It’s a platform for continuous deployment — developers can release code to the service one at a time, avoiding tech debt and bug cluttering.
- AWS IoT Greengrass: physical devices that generate information (equipment, transport, etc.) are connected to the Greengrass Connectors. The data from connectors is sent to Lambda and device shadows by the Greengrass Core. This is how the data from the outside world makes its way to the software.
- AWS IoT Analytics: the service creates analytics of IoT data. It’s responsible for the collection, processing, storage, real-time machine learning analytics, and code-based reports.
What Services Are Included in IoT AWS?
AWS IoT Services is an ambitious IoT management platform with dozens of features. If we were to focus on the complete functionality, you’d be reading a 40-page ebook right now. To keep the guide brief, we highlighted the vital AWS IoT services that are essential to most IoT projects.
- Device Gateway: all devices in Amazon Web Services for IoT are connected to the Gateway. The service is responsible for maintaining connections between devices and a server even in low-latency conditions. The Device Gateway is the entrance to using the AWS IoT platform.
- Message Broker: this service enables connected devices to exchange messages with each other and an application server. This tool is responsible for connectivity — it can process, store, and organize thousands of messages simultaneously.
- Device Shadow: all AWS IoT devices in the AWS IoT platform has a virtual version — a shadow. It stores information on the state of physical equipment that you can access remotely. Here, you set the performance parameters for IoT devices, and even plan the settings a year in advance.
- Rules Engine: this tool puts restrictions and imposes guidelines on data usage. The rule defines how devices process data. For instance, you can specify a threshold and set a standard for values that are above the limit. AWS IoT rules will trigger the execution of a certain functionality from AWS Lambda, connecting hardware updates with software reactions.
The primary purpose of Amazon and IoT services is to connect IoT hardware and software code. The platform creates an environment for secure data exchange, organization, and management. Changes in the state of the device are saved to the system, where rules can trigger changes in code.
Benefits of the Amazon IoT Platform
The AWS IoT Platform makes IoT development faster: the code is available in AWS Lambda, where it can be executed right away, the hardware is managed in shadows, etc. This is not the only advantage — a lot of benefits come into play after the product release.
- Device management: solutions responsible for device management, data organization, and cloud integration, make it easy for developers and project managers to track changes in the product.
- Data security and connection safety: AWS has strict access control algorithms — you can set up multi-step authentication and define user roles. The system continually monitors the software performance and detects suspicious patterns. You’ll get an alert if something seems unusual.
- Improved data processing: Amazon IoT platform uses AI to set up models of data storing and processing. You can set up scenarios that will be automatically executed in the cloud. Data processing can improve its efficiency and speed with Machine Learning add-ons.
- Scaling of IoT projects: AWS IoT is connected to a productive Amazon Web Services infrastructure. The service acts together with robust services, which allows you to add new features. If you want to add machine learning to your IoT, use Amazon SageMaker. To increase data storage, you have Amazon S3. The fact that the Amazon IoT Platform is a part of a significant infrastructure is an advantage because you will not have to migrate to another service to add a new feature.
AWS IoT examples among corporations and startups
Corporations and startups alike use the AWS IoT platform for its universality and efficiency. For small businesses, it’s a way to control their budget better — in AWS, you only pay for what you spend. For big companies, it’s possible to accommodate their ever-growing needs and facilitate support, because AWS offers a lot of additional services.
- LG IoT platform: LG used AWS IoT to build its ThinQ brand — a line for IoT services and products that communicate with each other via WiFi chips. The company migrated 1,000 servers to AWS, connected to Amazon Cloud for IoT and Amazon S3. They compute their code with AWS Lambda — it assures the connection between hardware and software.
- Miovision: this transportation company that creates smart traffic systems for cities heavily relies on IoT — it enables the communication between vehicles. The reason behind switching to AWS IoT was typical — the company wanted to focus on innovation rather than management. Having everything stored in one platform makes it more accessible.
- Siemens IoT Healthcare: a sizable manufacturing company switched to AWS IoT to be able to control its progress in real-time. They use IoT to manufacture faster and for power maintenance, automation, and production digitalization. AWS brings all connected devices to the same platform, making management a lot easier.
How startups use the AWS IoT Platform
- Etergo — an industrial electrical company that produces smart vehicles with intuitive communication, safety, and user interface. TechMagic helped Etergo to switch their IoT vehicles devices and software projects to AWS infrastructure — we shorted time to market and improved the team’s efficiency.
- Hiber — a satellite tech startup uses IoT to connect smart satellites and manage them remotely. The company offers an alternative to traditional GSM providers that only use IoT for 10% of satellites, aiming to make connectivity a standard practice. The company used the AWS IoT platform to manage its network of IoT devices and software.
- Voyance — a data network platform that uses AI to detect vulnerabilities in enterprise data storage. The service analyzes 17 million devices regularly. To accommodate around 300 petabytes of data, the startup switched to AWS IoT Infrastructure.

Network quality monitoring can provide services in the provision of computer network performance in the provision of data transmission according to the level of aspects related to the performance of network infrastructure systems and the number of clients operating for each computer. During the day, at certain hours, many subscribers use the network when the connection is blocked, and the graphics on the screen reach their highest levels. By monitoring computer network installation graphics, Axence netTools software needs to know bandwidth management to overcome network congestion by analyzing the QoS (quality of service) of computer network data transmission. The purpose of this study is to provide quality of service presentation material on LAN infrastructure performance using the TIPHON standard to measure LAN performance and analyze the factors that influence the results of quality of service measurements and obtain packet loss, delay, jitter based on class classification and average bandwidth value, according to TIPHON. The research method used is observation, interviews, literature study, monitoring, and qualitative descriptive research methods. The results showed that the percentage value of quality of service based on the TIPHON standardization was 66.66%. This result was classified as "unsatisfactory" because the average packet loss was 40%. The average percentage of delay is 115ms, and the average percentage of jitter is 7.5ms. The factors that affect the QoS index results are the distance of computer network transmission facilities and the need to monitor computer networks when adding and maximizing bandwidth according to TIPHON standards.

Is it possible to duplicate a device? I need to create a whole bunch of very similar devices that depend on some complex payload parsers. I realize that some of the tokens, buckets etc will be different and need to be reconfigured but being able to copy the name, connector, parser, tags etc would be useful.
Another possibility would be if multiple devices could share the same parser. Actually that would be more useful, as a change in a single parser could be propagated across all devices
You can’t duplicate a device using TagoIO front-end, but you can create one or a batch of devices using the TagoIO analysis. See the documentation here: https://docs.tago.io/en/articles/120
About the connector: Yes, TagoIO allows your devices to inherit all configurations from a connector, but today users can’t create a personal connector by front-end. In the next weeks, it will be released to the users.
If you need a personal connector ASAP, you should send a ticket to the TagoIO support and they will show you the conditions for you having it. https://admin.tago.io/support


A BURST OF STATIC FROM THE SUN
NOAA - 04/23/2023
The explosion that hurled a CME toward Earth on April 21st also illuminated our planet with an intense burst of shortwave radio static. Amateur astronomer Thomas Ashcraft of New Mexico recorded the outburst:
"Few solar radio bursts show as hot purple on my spectrograph, but this one 'rang the bell'," he says. "Here is an audio recording in stereo with 22 MHz in one channel and 19 MHz in the other."
The static in Ashcraft's recording, which washes over the listener like a slow ocean wave, is naturally produced. Astronomers classify it as a Type V solar radio burst caused by energetic beams of electrons ray-gunning through the sun's atmosphere. The electrons were accelerated by the same underlying explosion that hurled a CME toward Earth.
Solar radio bursts are an underappreciated form of space weather. We often talk about radio blackouts, which happen when solar flares ionize the top of Earth's atmosphere. Radio blackouts suppress the normal propagation of terrestrial radio signals. Solar radio bursts, on the other hand, produce a radio drownout. Intense static from the sun overwhelms normal transmissions, drowning out the voices radio operators are trying to hear.

A port is a connector at your computer that allows you to plug in an external device like a printer. The port allows instructions to flow between the computer and the device.
There are different ports to connect the monitor, the mouse, and the keyboard. There are also ports that allow you to connect games or that connect you to other computers.
Just about any computer that you buy today comes with one or more Universal Serial Bus or USB connectors. USB is a type of port that allows you to connect many devices to the same port.
For example, you can use a USB Port to connect a printer, modem, joystick, and scanner to your computer. Compared to other ways of connecting devices to your computer USB devices are incredibly simple!


The Juniper SRX firewalls have a special application layer gateway (ALG) for the DNS protocol. This ALG performs the following tasks:
- Closes the session as soon as a DNS reply is seen.
- Limits the maximum message length.
- Drops packet when domain name is more than 255 bytes or the label is more than 63 bytes.
- Decompresses points and detects loops.
- Performs DNS Doctoring.
Some of these functions are interesting to provide a little bit more security but most of the have major drawbacks and their default settings are just plain stupid. The default maximum message size is 512, even though everyone has been using EDNS0 for years. DNS doctoring is enabled by default, very poorly documented and causes unexpected changes in DNS replies. I'll explain the issues a bit more in detail and then suggest what I would consider to be a better default configuration.
Feel free to skip the rant :)
Closing sessions when a response is received
Closing the session as soon as the DNS server responds sounds like a very good idea to reduce the number of sessions in use on the firewall. DNS transactions are typically just two packets, waiting for the UDP session timeout every time would mean the firewall has to keep track of a lot more sessions and as most will probably know, DNS is the easiest way to kill stateful firewalls.
The drawback here is that the ALG does not keep track of the DNS transaction IDs, it closes the session as soon as a reply packet is seen. If you have an ancient DNS server which sends all its requests from the same source port, this will cause problems when there is a lot of DNS traffic. The DNS server may send multiple requests in parallel to a remote server for different names, but as soon as the first response is received, the ALG closes the session and the subsequent responses are dropped.
In practice this isn't that much of an issue nowadays. Everyone should be using random source ports on their DNS servers, for security reasons. But years after the Kaminsky hype, there are still servers that haven't been patched.
Limiting the message length to 512 bytes
I have no idea why Juniper even implemented this "feature", let alone make it the default behavior. When the first SRX was released, EDNS0 was already used by most DNS servers and that requires the firewall to allow larger DNS packet sizes.
EDNS0 is an extension which allows for larger DNS packet sizes. The original RFC only allowed 512 bytes, but now that more and more domains are switching to IPv6 and start using DNSSEC, responses are often larger than that. Nearly all DNS servers support EDNS0 and will attempt to to use it. The problem is that the SRX will block the responses, the DNS server waits for a timeout and then retries with a smaller packet size, which will get a response. To the end user, it will appear as if "the internet is slow".
BIND based name servers will generate a lot of these log messages:
named: success resolving 'news.bbc.co.uk/AAAA' (in 'bbc.co.uk'?) after reducing the advertised EDNS UDP packet size to 512 octets
Luckily this behavior can be fixed in configuration. I would recommend everyone using the DNS ALG to increase the permitted message size:
set security alg dns maximum-message-length 8192
DNS Doctoring is a functionality where the firewall will look at DNS responses from your DNS servers for addresses that have a static NAT rule defined and will then change the IP in the DNS response to the NAT address. This behavior is wrong in so many ways. There is very little documentation about this - as far as I know this behavior gets triggered when both the DNS server and the response have a static NAT rule, but I may be wrong. If you think you need functionality like this, you should rethink your DNS infrastructure. Other than it being an extremely ugly kludge, it doesn't always work and will fail in the future if you decide to use DNSSEC.
When this feature was first introduced, it couldn't even be disabled. But in more recent JunOS releases it can be disabled using the following command:
set security alg dns doctoring sanity-check
Known limitiation: DDNS Updates
As documented on the Juniper KB, the SRX DNS ALG does not permit DDNS updates. Especially when the SRX is used as an internal firewall, separating clients from their Active Directory DNS servers, this can be a problem. Many people rely on DDNS to register client or server names in DNS. The SRX will drop these registrations, resulting in missing or outdated DNS records. The only solution until now is disabling the DNS ALG:
set security alg dns disable
There are no CLI commands to see how much traffic was dropped by the ALG, but the information can be obtained from the forwarding daemon directly:
[email protected]> request pfe execute target fwdd command "show usp alg dns stats"

TL;DR: Recommended Default Config
For branch SRX devices, I would use the following default configuration:
This maintains some of the ALG advantages and fixes the annoying default behavior.
When you need to allow DDNS through the firewall, the only option is to disable the ALG entirely:

Broadband has become a basic utility and working to help improve the provision across the constituency has been on my agenda since becoming an MP. I have lobbied Government, meet with communications companies and with Ofcom and also communities frustrated by lack of provision. It was therefore a pleasure to share the celebration of the commissioning of the 600th superfast broadband cabinet in March 2019. This was in Chinnor Hill and this year alone has seen cabinets go live across the constituency including in Berinsfield, Sonning Common, Fencott, Cane End, Nuneham Courtnay and Woodcote.
There is now a push to get to those hard to reach locations in more remote areas of the constituency.
Through the Digital Economy Act 2017 Government has committeed to introduce a broadband Universal Service Obligation (USO) ensuring that by 2020 every home and business will have access to high speed broadband. This committmetn recognises that people and businesses need to have access to world-class connectivity to thrive.
In Oxfordshire the Better Broadband for Oxfordshire programme has been led by the County Council working in partnership with BT and BDUK (Department for Digital, Media, Culture and Sport).


VoIP uses the internet to make telephony. It is transmitted via cables just like other data, but it is converted into sound waves once it reaches the final destination. This makes VoIP more effective than traditional landlines that require power-generated signals to travel for miles before they reach their destination. It’s amazing how much can happen in a short sentence. Each sentence is broken down so that you comprehend the context.
What is the most effective way to stay in contact with your clients? One example is VoIP as opposed to landline phones. Business owners may think that they’re equally effective when really one is better than the other based on the type of communication requirements each option enables and the amount of investment available at any time (or whether they have enough funds).
VoIP provides many benefits to businesses such as cost-savings and better customer service. There are some downsides to this type of technology that you have be aware of prior to making a decision.
VoIP for Business: Benefits for businesses
VoIP services don’t require a lot of network or equipment. You only need to have two devices: one device for calling and an internet connection. internet, with VoIP software. To make calls using this type o phone service, all you need is a device. It will be simple to set up since most companies offer email support to ensure that they can guide users through the process. This means that there will be no delays when switching to older systems like landlines.
VoIP services do not have a fixed location. You can utilize your phone to act as an extension to the office. This is particularly advantageous for workers who work remotely, as it allows them to work remotely, or from the location that is suitable for their needs most.
VoIP is more than voice. It offers many additional options. You can track the progression and progress of your conference remotely by using call tracking or video conferencing.
VoIP calls are cheaper than landlines and include free international minutes. VoIP systems are simpler to install than traditional telephone wiring.
VoIP solutions provide a cost-effective, efficient and efficient method of communicating while traveling. VoIP systems don’t require an internet connection. This means there are no restrictions as long as you are connected.
This is a fantastic method to ensure that your company’s finances are in order. It can help you keep track of spending and reduce the headaches that come with combining various technologies.

Any organization that designs a system (defined broadly) will produce a design whose structure is a copy of the organization's communication structure.
Melvin E. Conway
Conway's Law states that technical teams will produce code and architecture that mirrors the companies communication channels/organisation of teams.
For example, if you work in a large 200 person team, with rather disjointed communication mechanisms between all the developers, the code will look something like a huge monolith codebase with random different parts communicating in disjointed ways, with little consistency.
Conway's Law is commonly used as a justification for small teams, that can help promote a more modular, seperated codebase.


Cars will no longer be products but seen as a service, which will improve people’s standard of living and make mobility more efficient
Technology has changed the way humans interact and do a lot of things, and the automotive industry has not only failed to keep up with this trend, but has been completely conquered by the need to integrate into the technological world.
So much so, that the paradigm of the car as a product is beginning to change to become a service, in which people do not have to worry about driving to reach their destination, and can perform a series of activities during their journey, such as consuming various media, working on their devices thanks to the permanent connection to the Internet, and doing all this safely thanks to autonomous driving.
New technologies that we hope to see and use in the near future:
Data processing and fast connections
The various sensors that the new electric and autonomous cars will be equipped with will collect a large amount of data that cannot be processed by the vehicles’ computers, but will have to be sent to much more powerful remote servers that will do the processing and return it to the vehicle, all in milliseconds.
In order for this to happen, wireless connections will be required at ráṕidas which, presumably, will be possible with the implementation of the 5G network worldwide, to be deployed in the next few years.
Autonomous driving and intelligent infrastructure
Autonomous driving will be an extremely difficult computer case, since it will require great processing capacities in real time inside the vehicle, which will also have to communicate with other cars and, as if that were not enough, also with the urban and road infrastructure.
The good thing about this is that part of the processing needed for autonomous driving will be able to be done by remote servers, as well as software and hardware specialized in traffic lights and intelligent signaling, which will have 5G connection and useful information for autonomous driving.
Machine learning for intuitive infotainment
The infotainment system of a vehicle is one of the most important and most used aspects of driving. In order to know which functions are most frequently used, the interaction design, whether tactile or voice, must be optimized, and automatic learning algorithms are an important tool for finding relevant information about the large amount of data available.
Advancing technology will help create models of machine learning so that behavioral data and sensor information can be used to predict user interaction.
Adaptive predictive maintenance
The battery in next-generation vehicles will need constant monitoring to ensure optimum performance. To achieve this, battery monitoring and predictive maintenance is an essential part. The maintenance and charging of the battery depends on dynamic after-market situations: tyre pressure, acceleration, traffic, charging cycles, driving habits, etc.
With advances in technology and communication, it will be possible to keep a continuous record of the behavior of the automotive system to predict possible failures, and schedule visits to the service center.
Smart home and vehicle integration
In the near future, smart home devices will be able to interact with next generation cars to make some tasks easier.
For example, the driver will be able to leave the vehicle parked on the garage ramp, and later, with a simple voice command or from a scheduled task, the car would park itself inside the garage, which would be opened on demand by the car linked to an owner’s account.
Similarly, at a certain time in the morning, the vehicle would ask to open the garage door and wait for its driver at the ramp, ready to go.


Coding the Curb: What’s Next for Smart City Transportation?
The rapid rise of urban dwellers is pushing cities across the globe to become smarter by incorporating information and communication technologies to enhance the overall quality of their urban services. The end result of these efforts in urban pockets around the world — at first theoretically and increasingly, in real life — are called smart cities.
One of the most important pillars of any smart city is an intelligent transportation system. That’s because roads and transport routes are the veins connecting a city’s different organs, with people relying heavily on public transport to gain access to medical care, employment, recreational facilities, and other vital community resources. This is especially true for the most disenfranchised, as the Federal Highway Administration reports that over 90% of public assistance recipients rely on public transportation. Without good transportation systems, urban logistics and businesses would grind to a halt.
Harvesting data as the new oil
That said, smart city transportation is a key area of research for innovators right now, with data in the driver’s seat. Leading futurist Nell Watson emphasizes the importance of data when it comes to pinpointing smart city needs and training machines to address them — which means that sensors and connected devices are the foundation of smart city transport systems. Watson predicts that by 2025, the average person would interact with a connected device nearly 4,800 times a day. The future ubiquity of these sensors will translate to massive amounts of data to help develop new technology. And according to Maryville University‘s data analytics industry outlook, data gathered worldwide is expected to skyrocket to 180 trillion gigabytes per year by 2025. This information can then be used in everything from optimizing driver and commuter routes, to predicting infrastructure repair needs.
Data generated from sensors and connected devices is expected to skyrocket to 180 trillion gigabytes per year by 2025.
Some cities have already begun. Take Oslo’s mass-transit company, Ruter, for example. It not only aims to build a more flexible IT system for operating buses, but it is also looking to turn the buses themselves into data-gathering tools that provide the city with more data for new smart city applications.
Here in the US, startup company Coord recently announced the release of Open Curbs, an open-access platform that pins the locations of wheelchair ramps, fire hydrants, bus stops, and other points of interest along sidewalks. The goal is to allow local officials, researchers, and companies to learn more about the city landscape and create better services for consumers through that data, especially since US curbs are undeniably both overused and overlooked.
The future of smart city transportation
So what, then, are companies and governments planning to do with all this data? Just last year here on UrbanLogiq, we pointed out how issues like parking, freight access, and pedestrian safety continue to be curb-side issues that city leaders need to address.
In this regard, more and more solutions are being developed to help local governments come up with new mobility services. The startup Populus, for one, has been using data from car-sharing service Limepod to improve the use of city curbs in Seattle. Moreover, the state of Colorado is already gearing up to test smart pavements with a tech startup called Integrated Roadways, which produces upgradeable, factory-made concrete with a digitized layer that senses vehicle speed, direction, and location. The aim is to help report accidents faster to city governments, and to reconfigure lanes in order to address congestion.
Meanwhile, other developers are also making smart roads that direct drivers to empty parking spaces, warn them about dangerous road conditions, or even issue speeding tickets to erring drivers via their connected cars. Not to be left behind, car manufacturers are looking to create connected vehicles to read and communicate with smart pavements as well.

Q: How do I check my email?
A: To check your e-mail you need a few things:
Do you have your e-mail account with Tusculum or another mail provider,
i.e.: MSN hotmail, Yahoo Mail, etc?
If you are in your room, in your friend's room, somewhere else on campus, or even in another country - you can simply open up a web browser and point it to http://mail.tcstudents.tusculum.edu. You will be prompted for login name and password. All the rooms in student housing at Tusculum are provided an Internet Connection.
If you are faculty member , you can simply open up a web browser and point it to http://mail.tusculum.edu. You will be prompted for a username and password. Once your authorization process is complete, you can send and receive emails on the Tusculum account.
Q: How do I get the Internet in my room?
A: As stated above, each room in student housing has an Internet connection. This is a wall jack a little larger than that used for a telephone. You will need a computer with an Ethernet 10/100 Network Interface Card (NIC) installed and a 10 Ft long Ethernet Patch cable. You use the cable to connect from the wall jack to the NIC in your computer. Once you computer is connected and booted up, it should automatically connect. If you cannot access the Internet, call Information Systems at Ext. 5346 and we will help resolve your connection.
Q: Can I use modem to connect to the Internet instead of buying a network card?
A: Yes and no. No, you can't use a modem to connect to the Tusculum's network, but you can use some other Internet provider, i.e. AOL, XTN, etc. To do this you must connect your modem using a phone cable to the phone jack in the wall. You can call out and connect only if you are calling a local number. You may save yourself some money on the beginning by using your modem; however, here are a few reasons why getting a network card is a better idea:
Residential students also have the option of upgrading to the ResNET service offered by the College through an agreement with College Cable Services. Under the agreement, College Cable Services offers an optional high speed broadband cable modem Internet service in all Tusculum College residence halls and campus houses. The ResNet offering by College Cable Services will provide the bandwidth necessary for students who play World of Warcraft, for example.
Q: How do I remove Adware and Spyware from my computer?
A: You can get rid of spyware by running programs as Spybot Search and Destroy and Ad-Aware. Both programs can be downloaded at http://www.download.com.
Q: Why do I need Anti-Virus software?
A: Anti-virus software is capable of cleaning harmful viruses that tend to corrupt the files and cause poor functionality of the computer. It is recommended to have anti-virus software on your PC or Macintosh. If you connect to the Internet at all, you need anti-virus software!
If you are unable to connect to the network, please notify Information Systems at:
Ext. 5346 or Ext. 7346.
