The Fast Bite is a mobile application that provides restaurant owners a customized platform to communicate with existing customers, raise brand awareness, and increase traffic and revenue for their venues. In the crowded marketplace of apps, Fast Bite differentiates with its ability to be customized. A venue’s logo, messaging, and graphics will exclusively skin the platform to create a dedicated, virtual environment for each particular venue.
How Does This Customized Experience Work?
The Fast Bite will send push notifications about a particular venue, manually or automatically via geo-promotion, direct to iPhone and Android users’ mobile devices. Geo-Promotion utilizes the location services on users’ mobile devices so the Fast Bite can offer nearby restaurant recommendations and promotions. Based on a user’s location, he/she will receive specific push notifications that deliver promotions like lunch specials, specified discounts, or seasonal offers. This function of the app will be the most efficient way to deliver promotional messages and reach existing and new customers at the time when it matters most.
Snail mail and even email is slowly but surely becoming a dated way to send promotions. Post cards, larger mailers, and email blasts often get lost in the shuffle. When a promotion is lost so is a potential sale lost. With the current condition of the economy, no business owner wants or should lose the opportunity to reach a customer.
We at the Fast Bite will provide barcoded promotional materials for the desired timeframe based on the plan and contract agreed upon. The Fast Bite anticipates profitable results for all partners and we welcome suggestions that will benefit the users’ experiences and therefore owner’s results. We are eager to work together so the partnership is mutually beneficial.


Brought into existence in 1991 by the National institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the digital signature algorithm is the standard for digital signatures. Most digital signature types are used by signing messages using the private key of the originator of the message. And because only the message digest is signed, the signature is typically much smaller than the data being signed.
On the other hand, the digital signature algorithm doesn’t use the private key to encrypt messages nor does it makes use of the public key to decrypt messages. Instead, DSA utilizes unique mathematical functions that create a digital signature with two 160-bit numbers. These numbers originate from the message digests and the private key. While DSA does use the public key to validate the signature, the process of verification and authentication is often lengthier and complex as compared with other types of digital signatures.
What is a Digital Signature Standard?
The Digital Signature Standard is a type of digital signature algorithm that was developed by the US National Security Agency to create digital signatures for the authenticating electronic systems. This digital signature algorithm, brought into existence by the National Institute of Standards and Technology in 1994 has become the standard algorithm for the authentication of electronic documents and it is also specified in the Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS).
Digital Signature Algorithm is nothing but a pair of large numbers. The numbers are generated within a fixed algorithm that allows the authentication of the signatory. The signatures are generated with the use of the private key and verification uses the public key. Each signatory will have their own public and private key. A signature can only be created or generated by an authorized person using their private key and the corresponding public key can then be used by anyone to validate the signature.
So, while the Digital Signature Algorithm is the more commonly used digital signature algorithm, both DSA and Digital Signature Standard make sure that the security of the message by encrypting the message in a way that only the verifying entities can be aware of it. And it is the mathematical algorithms that are used in each case to ensure the validity of the signature and the message.
Top-notch Benefits of Digital Signatures
In today’s hyper connected world, traditional methods of signing and validating documents are increasingly being replaced by technological innovations such as the electronic signatures in general and digital signatures in particular. But digital signatures offer several advantages over other types of electronic signatures, namely:
A digital signature offers additional security than an electronic signature. The unique identifying fingerprint data in a digital signature remains permanently embedded within a document. And signs that someone has made alterations in a document after signing can be easily detected.
A High Standard
PKI offers an algorithmic ally based protocol in which a vendor generates two keys, the lengthy numbers that define the signature. One of the keys is private and the other is public. It is the PKI standard that mandates that the vendors make and save keys in a safe and secure fashion. The standard usually states that the services of a trustworthy Certificate Authority can be used to ensure such security.
Global Integration and Legal Compliance
Today, more and more countries have begun accepting digital signatures on legally binding documents as they understand that the security protocols offered by vendors are in compliance with international standards in the field. Many Asian, European, and South American nations have different requirements than North America, Australia, and the UK in regards to the use of electronic and digital signatures.


Nigeria’s first Mobile/Virtual PBX
Our virtual PBX service is a virtual call center, for a standard office or a virtual office. It is setup very much like the traditional PBX system except for the fact that you do not require any hardware to setup in your business premises.
The central functions of a Virtual PBX service are similar to those of hardware PBX systems installed at the user’s premises. The main difference is that virtual PBX customers don’t buy, install, or maintain any PBX equipment. Instead, ll the customers purchases is the phones for the virtual call centre. No additional hardware!

Constructing the Next Big Digital Transformation
by Hany Aly, Executive Vice President Enterprise Business, Commercial, du
While many industries have radically modernized their processes, the construction sector remains one of the most stagnant major industries in the world. With many manual methods still in use that were first deployed in past centuries, the industry is one that is ripe for digital transformation.
As a result of slow adaptations to the digital world, productivity in the sector is falling in many markets, the construction workforce is shrinking, and the demand for housing construction continually outpaces supply. According to industry research from JB Knowledge, 70% of construction firms dedicate just 1 percent or less of their revenue to technology. To complicate matters further, only around 50% of planned activities on construction sites are completed in line with proposed schedules.
However, in the UAE, rapid technological evolutions are sweeping the nation, largely in part to the government’s agendas to attract innovation and create a world-leading smart city infrastructure. With the rise of next-generation technologies in key industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, and ICT, companies in the construction sector have a growing array of digital applications and sector-specific use cases at their disposal.
To build the sector up through digitization instead of letting its foundations sink, industry players can reduce current pain points, boost productivity, and save time and costs by adopting and investing in future-facing technologies to augment their transformation journeys.
For a rapid industrial overhaul to take place, this requires a foundation to be laid that enables these emerging technologies to be used to full effect. As dynamic connectivity and intelligent networks become a reality, thanks to progressions from within the telecommunications sector, the ability for other sectors to harness improved speeds and capabilities for digital transformation is mounting significantly.
This is supported by a new connected reality being implemented by network operators. As advanced 5G networks bring smart city visions to life, we are witnessing an upheaval in the way our cities are planned, designed and built. According to research conducted by Frost & Sullivan, smart city projects globally are expected to create business opportunities with a market value of over US$2 trillion by 2025.
This spells big opportunity for the construction sector to revamp its approach towards technological adoption.
The total value of the construction project pipeline in the UAE stands at US$1.3 trillion, research by GlobalData has found. With smart building technologies and state of the art sensors shaping the nation’s future city infrastructure – through smart projects and systems.
These smart projects require smart construction. Despite increasingly sophisticated building designs and state of the art communities being created, the construction sector’s digitization efforts leave little to be desired. This is why developing intelligent solutions and staying at the forefront of next generation technologies is essential for the industry to transform in the decades to come.
By innovating with an eye to adopting new technologies, construction players in the UAE are shaking the ill-performing monikers cast against the industry in the past. They’re doing this through investing in nascent technologies such as IoT and Machine learning amidst others, which hold large potential for the sector to flourish in the future. With IoT platform innovations, the proliferation of connected devices and sensors is powering efficiencies in everything from Asset Tracking Management, to monitoring projects in real-time to detect on-site issues and create insights and data for devising future efficiencies.
With AI innovations in building technology, these are allowing designers to develop complex composite materials and construction methods. As a city at the forefront of design innovation, AI is playing a vital role in automating the design process for Dubai’s future and redefining how its buildings are engineered. AI-based 3D printing technologies are advancing in line with the government’s Dubai 3D printing strategy, which is targeting 25 percent of the city’s buildings to be constructed using 3D printing technology by 2030.
New technologies can radically redefine how companies operating in the sector digitize their design processes, construction systems and techniques. By successfully adopting the right mix of technology relevant to a project, this will give industry players new tools that can be leveraged to digitally transform the sector, allowing for wiser decision-making and data planning while reducing costs and saving time. Ultimately, this will result in the creation of a competitive edge for all stakeholders.
Digital is everywhere. In a digitally pervasive country like the UAE, missing the innovation wave can be costly in the long run. To build the sector up through digitization, industry players can reduce current pain points and boost productivity across the board by adopting future-facing innovations. While there’s not one particular technology that can impact change on its own, the collective force of multiple next-generation technologies possesses the power to overhaul the construction sector’s aging processes. Most importantly, the connectivity infrastructure is in place for construction companies to take the leap towards adopting new-age tech.
Driving any industry towards digitization requires a progressive rethink towards incorporating technological innovations. Being able to leverage this in a country pioneering smart city visions could bring rewarding outcomes.


Every part of a car serves a purpose, from the early horseless carriages to today’s sleek machines. Amidst the talk of engines, horsepower, and turbochargers, a spindly component often gets overlooked—the humble car antenna.
Think of the antenna as the car’s “ear.” It picks up radio waves so you can jam to tunes, helps your GPS to prevent you from getting lost and even assists in making those all-important phone calls.
The Basics of Car Antennas
When you think about cars, “speed” or “engine roar” might come to mind, but this subtle, sometimes stick-like thingy on cars does a heavy lifting of its own: the antenna. It’s more than just a fancy twig sticking out of your car. Let’s get into the basics.
What is a Car Antenna?
In its simplest form, a car antenna is designed to capture airborne signals. Imagine being at a rock concert but standing outside the venue. You can vaguely hear the music. Imagine if you had a magic wand that could grab the tunes and bring them to your ears. That’s your car antenna, though instead of rock music, it’s usually catching radio waves.
Primary Functions of Antennas
Antennas on cars aren’t just trying to set a fashion statement; they have some serious jobs to do. Here’s the lowdown:
- Radio Reception: The most common use. Just like your ears pick up sounds, these antennas pick up radio frequencies so that you can groove to 80’s hits or that latest pop sensation without a hiccup.
- GPS Signals: Ever wondered how your car knows where the nearest pizza joint is? It’s all thanks to the antenna capturing signals from satellites that tells your GPS system where to go.
- Television Reception: For those swanky cars with built-in TVs, the antenna ensures you catch the latest episode of your favorite show or the big game while on the move.
- Satellite Communications: With technology skyrocketing, cars can now communicate with satellites for a range of services, from weather updates to traffic alerts.
- Mobile Phone Reception: Some high-end cars come with built-in mobile phone systems. The antenna strengthens the signal, making your calls are crystal clear.
Types of Car Antennas
Over the years, the antennas on our vehicles have morphed in style, functionality, and location. Here’s a peek into the cookie jar:
- Traditional Whip Antennas: This is the granddaddy of car antennas. Long, metal, and stick-like, you’ve seen it wobbling on cars. It’s a universal design, loved for its strength in picking up AM and FM radio signals.
- Shark Fin Antennas: These sleek, aerodynamic antennas are not just for making your car look like it’s about to dive into the deep ocean. They are often used for satellite radio, GPS systems, and sometimes mobile connectivity.
- Hidden Antennas: Some cars like to play hide and seek with their antennas. These are typically concealed within the car’s structure, like inside the windshield or dashboard. They’re a boon for car aesthetics, ensuring that nothing juts out and interrupts the car’s smooth silhouette.
Advancements in Antenna Technology
Antenna technology has grown. They have come a long way from being just metal rods. Let’s dive into the futuristic world of antenna technology.
Smart Antennas and Their Role
Remember when you used to adjust the bunny ears on old TVs to get a clear picture?. Instead of simply picking up signals from everywhere, these antennas are, well, smart.
- Beamforming and Directionality: Smart antennas can focus their attention in specific directions. Imagine trying to hear someone in a crowded room. Instead of shouting “Huh?” repeatedly, you lean in closer to them. That’s what beamforming does, but with signals. This results in better reception, faster data speeds, and fewer interruptions.
- Improving Communication Efficiency: In traffic, it’s hard to hear your favorite song with all the honking and noise. Smart antennas filter out the noise, focusing solely on the signals they need. So, even in areas with a lot of devices, your car’s antenna can pick out its song from the radio signal party.
Antennas in Connected Cars
Modern cars now work as a hub of communication. Modern cars chat with each other, the road, and even the traffic lights. And for this chit-chat, they rely heavily on their antennas.
- Facilitating Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communication: Cars can constantly send and receive information from other vehicles. This can be about traffic conditions, potential hazards, or just a friendly car head nod to its buddy passing by. Advanced antennas make this dialogue smooth and seamless to prevent collisions and make driving safer.
- Enabling Vehicle-to-Infrastructure Communication: This is where cars show off their multilingual skills. They don’t just talk to other cars—they converse with traffic lights, parking spaces, and road signs. As a translator, Antennas lets the car know if a parking space is free or if a traffic light is about to change.
Common Issues and Fixes with Car Antennas
Let’s shift our focus to common issues with car antennas and how to deal with them.
Poor Reception or No Signal
This is normal if you’re driving in the middle of nowhere with bad reception. However, if you’re driving in the middle of the city with static blasting through your speakers, here’s how you can resolve the problem.
- Check the Basics: Sometimes, the simplest solutions are the most overlooked. Set your radio to the right frequency (your favorite radio station, for instance). If you’re stuck between stations, you might pick up static.
- Inspect the Antenna Mast: If it looks bent or broken, it’s likely the culprit. A replacement might be in order.
- Antenna Base and Cable Connection: Sometimes, it’s not about the stick but where it’s planted. The base could be corroded or the cable might be loose. A quick check and tightening job might bring back those crystal-clear tunes.
If your radio’s playing peekaboo with the signals, that’s intermittent reception for you. Here’s how you can deal with flaky music that’s here one minute and gone the next:
- Damaged Cable: A damaged or frayed cable works when it feels like it. A cable inspection might reveal if it’s time for a replacement.
- Faulty Radio or Internal Electronics: The problem may lie in the radio itself. If it’s older than time itself, maybe it’s time for an upgrade.
Static or Interference
If you hear more crackling than music, you’re dealing with interference. It’s like when you’re trying to talk while someone is obnoxiously munching chips beside you.
- Identify External Interference: Devices like cell phones, tablets, or even your car’s own electronics can interfere. A simple relocation might help. Keep that phone away from the radio; it’s not a duet!
- Upgrade to a Filtered Antenna: If static is a regular intruder, consider antennas with built-in filters. They keep all the unwanted garbling out of your speakers.
1. Why have whip antennas become less common?
Whip antennas, the long metal rods that once adorned many vehicles, have seen a decline in popularity for a few reasons.
- Automotive design trends now prioritize sleekness and aerodynamics.
- Technological advancements have introduced more compact and integrated antenna designs that can perform just as effectively, if not better.
- Digital signals have allowed for different antenna designs that can capture signals without the need for a long rod.
2. Can I upgrade my car’s antenna for better reception?
Yes, upgrading your car’s antenna can improve reception. Various aftermarket antennas are available designed specifically to boost signal strength and clarity. Depending on your needs, you can opt for antennas that are better suited for urban areas with many obstructions or those designed for rural areas where signal strength from radio towers might be weaker.

- Enter on Lawrence Street
For almost everyone, telephony now means cellular telephony, and, increasingly, broadband means wireless broadband. That makes the transition to 5G one of the most important technology developments of the next decade.
Our visit to NYU Wireless will begin with a short talk by its director, Sundeep Rangan, about millimeter waves and their role in 5G, leading to a broader discussion of the 5G development path, timeline, and use cases.
The design of a 5G network based on millimeter waves will be unlike prior generations of cellular service. Marco Mezzavilla, a post-doctoral fellow at NYU Wireless, will briefly tell us about Millilabs, a one-year-old spin-out that offers carriers a product for channel sounding and channel emulation.
How compatible is wireless broadband with the history and architecture underpinning the peer-to-peer Internet? TTI/Vanguard advisory board member Bob Lucky will lead a discussion about that between fellow board member David Reed and Sundeep Rangan.
We’ll conclude our visit with a tour of NYU Wireless’s labs, ending the day with a cocktail reception.


The perimeter formed by switches that do not trust incoming QoS is called the trustboundary. Usually, the trust boundary exists at the farthest reaches of the enterprise network (access-layer switches and WAN or ISP demarcation points). When the trust boundary has been identified and the switches there are configured with untrusted ports, everything else inside the perimeter can be configured to blindly trust incoming QoS values.
The above diagram shows a simple network in which the trust boundary is defined at the edges, where the network connects to end users and public networks. On Catalyst A, port Gigabit Ethernet2/1 is configured to consider inbound data as untrusted. Catalyst B’s port FastEthernet0/2 connects to a PC that also is untrusted. The Cisco IP Phone on Catalyst B port Fast Ethernet0/1 is a special case because it supports its own voice traffic and an end user’s PC. Therefore the trust boundary cannot be clearly defined for that switchport.
A Cisco Phone has a 3 port switch in it. Generally the Cisco phone is considered to be inside the trust boundary and how it should trust the PC attached to its PC port (QoS perspective) is configurable in the switchport the Cisco phone is plugged into. The phone has two streams of data: the VoIP packets it generates itself and the data it relays to the attached PC. VoIP data generated by the phone is trusted as the phone can control the DSCP markings to the packets it is generating. Also, the trust can be extended to the data from the PC by extending the trust on the switch port as below:
1 – Enable QoS
#conf t #mls qos
2 – Enable trust on the switchport to which the cisco phone is connected (e.g. fa0/1) – options are to trust CoS, IPP or DSCP
#int fa0/1 #mls qos trust qos | ip-precedence | dscp
3 – Make the trust conditional i.e. only trust the QoS markings if a cisco phone is connected. Markings will not be trusted in case a PC is connected directly to the switchport
#mls qos trust device cisco-phone
4 – To extend the trust to the PC attached to the cisco phone
#switchport priority extend cos <value> | trust
Use trust keyword if you want to trust all markings being sent by the PC. You can also re-mark the CoS by using the cos option.
What about trunks and up-link ports in the trusted boundary?
These can be configured to unconditionally trust the CoS markings, as below
#int Gi0/0 #mls qos trust cos
A Cisco Switch has a CoS-to-DSCP (and vice-versa) map. Trunks can only pass the CoS values in the encapsulated frames so the CoS values arriving in frames through a trunk or up-link/down-link must be mapped to DSCP (or IPP) values.
To see the CoS-to-DSCP map on a switch
#show mls qos maps cos-dscp Cos-dscp map: cos: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 -------------------------------- dscp: 0 8 16 24 32 46 48 56
#show mls qos maps dscp-cos Dscp-cos map: d1 : d2 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 --------------------------------------- 0 : 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 01 1 : 01 01 01 01 01 01 02 02 02 02 2 : 02 02 02 02 03 03 03 03 03 03 3 : 03 03 04 04 04 04 04 04 04 04 4 : 05 05 05 05 05 05 05 05 06 06 5 : 06 06 06 06 06 06 07 07 07 07 6 : 07 07 07 07
Some other useful show options | commands are:
#show mls qos int fa1/0/42 ? buffers buffers keyword policers policers keyword queueing queueing keyword statistics statistics keyword | Output modifiers <cr> for example: #show mls qos int fa1/0/42 FastEthernet1/0/42 Attached policy-map for Ingress: AutoQoS-Police-CiscoPhone trust state: trust cos trust mode: trust cos trust enabled flag: ena COS override: dis default COS: 0 DSCP Mutation Map: Default DSCP Mutation Map Trust device: cisco-phone qos mode: port-based
In case the device connected to the switchport is not a cisco phone but a PC or some other node (cisco calls it an appliance) and you want to check the kind of trust being extended to the appliance, you can use
#show interface fa1/0/42 switchport ... ... Appliance trust: none


iSCSI:- SCSI over the internet.
SCSI (Small computer system interface) – It is the set of standards (protocol) to connecting and transferring data between volumes(machines/peripheral devices ).
The SCSI standards define commands, protocols, electrical and optical interfaces.
SCSI is most commonly used for hard disk drive and tape drives, but it can connect a wide range of other devices, including scanners and CD drives, although not all controllers can handle all devices.
By carrying SCSI commands over IP networks, iSCSI is used to facilitate data transfers over intranets and to manage storage over long distances.
iSCSI can be used to transmit data over local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs), or the Internet and can enable location-independent data storage and retrieval.
Typically, a computer is an initiator and a data storage device is a target. As in a client-server architecture, an initiator is analogous to the client, and a target is analogous to the server.
In computer data storage, a SCSI initiator is the endpoint that initiates a SCSI session, that is, sends a SCSI command. The initiator usually does not provide any Logical Unit Number (LUNs).
On the other hand, a SCSI target is the endpoint that does not initiate sessions, but instead waits for initiators’ commands and provides required input/output data transfers. The target usually provides to the initiators one or more LUNs because otherwise no read or write command would be possible.


Hack into someone’s phone using Wireless Sniffer
What is a Wireless Sniffer?
This may sound like something secretive and complex, but in essence wireless sniffer is a specific kind of packet analyzer. Packet analyzer, or packet sniffer, is a type of hardware or software which is designed to catch sensitive data when it is being transmitted through a network.
Such data is then decoded into a type of format that is understandable and readable for people. Wireless sniffers have been specifically designed by technicians in order to intercept data on Wi-Fi networks.
Today, wireless sniffers are used in many IT situations because of their efficiency. Besides intercepting data they can also monitor and decode all kinds of data.
Wireless sniffers are especially useful for monitoring usage of networks, their overall activity, as well as security. They can also be deployed for setting correct diagnosis and for investigating different problems with networks.
With the help of wireless sniffers you can filter network traffic, discover network vulnerabilities, malware and misuse, and they are also helpful for identifying different problems with configuration.
Wireless Package Sniffer attacks
Although wireless sniffers are very useful for good maintenance of wireless networks and for identifying different problems, some people used them for malicious acts such as hack someone’s phone without touching it.
Hackers usually use them for stealing important data, spying on someone’s online activity and for collecting information which they can later use to attack the network.
Wireless sniffers are also used for targeting usernames and passwords. Hackers usually use wireless packet sniffer attacks on unsecured free Wi-Fi networks, which are commonly found in public spaces like hotels, airports, libraries, cafes, and so on.
Wireless sniffers are also often used for performing so-called spoofing attacks. These are types of attacks where some party uses stolen information for impersonating another machine that is on the network. These spoofing attacks are usually used against business networks for stealing sensitive data.
Wireless sniffing can be divided into two modes – monitor and promiscuous. The monitor mode happens when the data is received and read without sending something back. That makes it extremely difficult to detect it, which is why skillful hackers usually use this mode for their malicious operations.
With the second mode, the sniffer intercepts and reads all data that goes through the wireless network, but it also transmits its own data that can be detected.
Preventing Wireless Sniffer attacks
How to protect yourself from packet sniffer attacks? Fortunately, there are a few options available when it comes to prevention from wireless sniffer attacks.
One easy step that you can take is to never use insecure networks and protocols. Therefore, make sure you always visit websites that have HTTPS secure protocol, Secure Shell or SSH and Secure File Transfer Protocol or SFTP implemented. These safe protocols make sure that your information is always encrypted and kept safe from hacking.
If you use insecure protocol you are making your information vulnerable, so a good idea would be to use Virtual Private Networks if you want to encrypt the traffic from your device.

The Internet of Things at an Industrial Scale[ssba]
While predictive maintenance has been around for a while, the convergence of digital, coupled with big data, means a new frontier in advanced maintenance is taking place.
This is evidenced by big software makers getting into the act. Last week Software AG announced its predictive maintenance Digital Business Platform. Two weeks before that Nexcom announced its hardware/software package.
While all these vendors have a part to play, the real story of predictive maintenance is the ability to share data, via the cloud, with unending advantages. Having all of the data in one central location, available to the human experts and the number-crunching analytical software facilitates the ability to predict equipment failure very early. This reduces downtime and boost productivity, the main advantage of predictive maintenance.
However this is just the start. It has been predicted that in the near-future, this convergence will lead to a point where the assets themselves will be able to generate and transmit their own data. This will lead to a truly 21st century industrial Internet of Things.


Metcalfe’s Law, which is mainly applied to telecoms networks, but can seemingly equally be applied to social networks, states:
the value of a (telecommunications) network is proportional to the square of the number of connected users
Therefore, if you know 2 people, the value of your network is 4. If you need 10 people, the value of your network is 100.
As social networking has taken off, both online and offline (breakfast networking events, niche networks events and so on), those who have the largest followings are often lauded as great networkers, which seems to instil feelings of jealousy and inadequacy in others.
Obviously, applying Metcalfe’s Law to the size of the networks would infer that their networks are more valuable than our own poor attempts! However, there has to be some consideration in valuing your network of: quality.
In telecoms networks, the value of the network is not affected by the quality of the user, so Metcalfe’s Law needs to now include a quality score. I am not the first to state this, and discussions on this subject have been ongoing for quite some time with even Bob Metcalfe himself getting involved, but maybe it bears consideration again as you go for the World record for new Twitter followers in a week!


Virtjoule is proud to announce the availability of cellular HVAC and refrigeration monitors! With nearly a year of experience in the field with the cellular version of our monitors, all of our current customers have been converted from the short range radio based monitors. No longer will you need a netbook computer somewhere within radio range. No longer will you be at the mercy of the Internet connection at remote locations.
The vision we had when we started the company over three years ago is now finally a reality. That is, “parachute” onto a building, stick on and power up a sensor and begin collecting machine runtime data immediately and remotely without expensive installations, capital expense, or expensive integration projects with building automation systems.
- Sensor comes already activated on one of the nation’s leading cellular providers: Click here
- All sensors are independent of each other. No more mesh network and the possibility of one weak link bringing down the whole sensor network.
- Even easier install. New sensor is polarity independent, running on any power source from 12 VDC to 24 VAC. A standard RTU can be installed in less than 10 minutes.
- New web application features including automated short cycle fault detection.
- Built-in internal cellular antenna. External magnetic mount and direction antenna options are available for those really difficult locations.
- New, smaller, and lighter weight vibration microphone. Tape and screw mount options available.
The back story
When the first versions of Virtjoule HVAC monitors were developed over three years ago, they communicated over a low power and short distance radio network. This was the only way to create an economical sensor that could be applied to such a wide range of equipment, everything from large 125 hp pumps and fans on huge cooling towers to small beverage coolers.
Since that time a quiet revolution was taking place in what is now called “Machine to Machine” (M2M) applications. Cellular carriers like Verizon, AT&T, and many others were aggressively developing their growth plans and decided that much of their strategy would depend not on selling more handset devices, but selling more lines for sensors, tablets, and all sorts of devices that needed internet connectivity. Suddenly the price to acquire a cellular internet connection for a single device became an order of magnitude lower.
Virtjoule always knew that the mesh network radio based approach was an initial architecture. We didn’t know how or when we would be able to transition that architecture to fulfill our original vision.
Certified cellular device
One year ago, Virtjoule became a certified device for one of the nation’s leading cellular providers. We were approached by our business account representatives and the M2M specialists and we discussed moving Virtjoule to cellular. This was a process that took months of development, negotiations, learning, and investment. Since that certification, we have rolled out this new cellular sensor to all of our customers.
Say “No!” to obsolescence
A huge benefit to the Virtjoule way of monitoring is that no one actually buys the sensor. It is included in the monthly service cost. No Virtjoule customer was left holding an obsolete piece of equipment. We simply replaced everything in the field with our newest model and we all moved forward together.

Will and Guy wish to point out that 'Mayday' is THE most serious radio call.
Its use is reserved for grave emergencies, such as a crash, sinking or craft on
fire. The best channels to issue a mayday call are: for planes: airband
frequencies of 121.5 MHz and 243.0 MHz. For ships marine MF on 2182 kHz or
marine VHF radio channel 16 (156.8 MHz).
For lesser emergencies such as becalmed, out of fuel, the correct signal is
'Coastguard' on VHF Channel 16.
Incidentally, while Mayday comes from the french venez m'aider, which means
'come to help me', it was invented by Frederick Stanley Mockford, who was a
radio officer at Croydon (Gatwick), England.

Sensorweb Research Laboratory is developing Sensor Web systems and applying this revolutionary technology to critical scientific and social applications. Our research mission is to transform information acquisition and ambient intelligence paradigms.
Sensor Web is a coordinated observation infrastructure composed of a distributed collection of resources, e.g. sensors, platforms, models, communications infrastructure, that can collectively behave as a single, autonomous, task-able, dynamically adaptive and reconfigurable observing system that provides raw and processed data, along with associated meta-data, via a set of standards-based service-oriented interfaces. The definition of the term, "sensor", is intentionally broad and abstract to include a wide range of data and/or information providers. This definition, for example, includes models and not just physical instruments capable of sensing a phenomenon. Human reports, RADAR, satellite feeds, models, and thermometers are all examples of sensors within the context of a sensor web. The Sensorweb Research Laboratory is devoted to the sensorweb system research, aiming to provide timely, on-demand data and analysis to users who can enable practical benefits for scientific research, national policymaking, economic growth, natural hazard mitigation, and the exploration of other planets in this solar system and beyond.
Sensor Web related research spans multiple domains include distributed systems, wireless sensor networks, remote sensing, artificial intelligence, sensor web services and etc. Our research work is largely motivated by the needs of real-time and situation-aware information gathering from unattended environments and effective information sharing over the Internet, hence currently focuses on inventing smart communication/cordination systems to support the Sensor Web vision. The technologies under our development will enable many critical scientific and social applications, such as environment monitoring, smart homes, smart grid, battlefield surveillance, intelligent transportation, and intelligent factories etc.
Sensorweb Research Laboratory is part of the Department of Computer Science at Georgia State University - the heart of downtown Atlanta, GA. The address is 25 Park Pl NE, Suite 643-644, Atlanta, GA 30303


The SC-01 lightweight single toxic gas monitor with interchangeable sensors automatically recognises any sensor change without any set up or configuration changes. The capabilities of this device allows the sensor’s calibration information to stay with each sensor, which means calibration can be carried out away from the instrument.
The SC-01’s large LCD display shows the gas reading, battery level, current time, and will automatically backlight in alarm conditions. Standard alarm types of the device include vibration, visual, and audible alarms that can be set to latching or self-resetting. Controlled by a microprocessor, the SC-01 continuously checks itself for sensor connections, low battery and circuit trouble. The batteries are simple to replace, requiring no tools to access the battery compartment. One set of AA alkaline batteries provides continuous operation for over 250 hours.
The SC-01 is equipped with data logging capability, as a standard feature. This data logging communication is done through an IR port, through the use of an optional Windows based data logging software program. Calibration intervals and reminders are user adjustable and can be set to either go into alarm or to lock the user out of normal measurement mode once a calibration period has expired.

Long gone are the days when business telephones were simply composed of a dial tone and were exclusively used to talk to customers. In this day and age, telephone and data wiring services provide convenience and functionality to your organization. However, when looking for business phone systems, it is not advisable to simply select the first type you come across. There are numerous considerations to keep in mind to ensure that the electrical company will be installing a system that will meet your organization's specific needs. Here are some of the things to keep in mind when seeking to purchase business telephone systems.
Establish your immediate needs from your business telephone system.
With the internet-based telephone systems that are in the market, there are a range of capabilities that could be incorporated into your business. However, some of these capabilities may come at an extra charge. As such, it is always best to establish what your business' immediate needs are to enable you to narrow down the options that are both available to you and pertinent for your business' operations. Some of the features that you could contemplate for your business phone system include an automatic attendant, call forwarding, voicemail capabilities and more.
Establish if your business requires a backup phone connection.
When it comes to business phone systems, most employers tend to opt for a single network that will handle both the voice as well as the data requirements of the business. This is because it is an affordable way of keeping operational costs down. If you rely solely on your phone system to conduct a large chunk of your business, then it would be best to opt for a broadband connection that would be used as a backup. Incorporating a backup phone system will ensure that you never lose immediate contact with both current as well as prospective clients, as this will ensure that any VoIP calls can still be conducted in the event of any service interruption.
Establish if your business requires an SIP connection.
SIP refers to Session Initiation Protocol. This type of signalling protocol works toward controlling all communication that occurs over internet phones. SIP is a consideration business owners should have as it enhances the functionality of your business phones. By opting for this protocol, you can incorporate additional features to your system such as the ability to click-to-chat when using websites, ability for conference calls between multi-users and more.


Do you like to play while you are away from home? You’re probably using your smartphone, and common sense says you’d find a Wi-Fi network to get the best internet connection and continue your game. Well, throw that idea out the window if you have a 5G phone and a location with 5G connectivity.
Opensignal collects data(Opens in a new window) of millions of devices around the world running its software. He looked at download and upload speeds across different connection types from tests collected from December 2021 to February 2022, and used them to quantify what he calls the Game Experience Score for each type. Anything with a score of 75 or more (out of 100) is considered good to play.
Only two types of connection reach that level. Home and office Wi-Fi networks at 76.3 are one. It’s the connection most mobile gamers would gravitate towards. But tests show that if your phone has mmWave 5G, the score goes up to 81.8.
Obviously, 4G lags behind. But it’s interesting to note that even the lower band 5G gets a 74.5. That’s a few points higher than any of the hotspot Wi-Fi connections found in hotels, cafes, shops, and other public places, where network congestion, return speed, and equipment quality are out. of your control.
Opensignal conducted this same research in 2021(Opens in a new window) and notes that “the overall 5G experience has improved faster than the Wi-Fi experience” in the past year. Last year, it focused on download and upload speeds and provided the same information this time. It saw a decline in mmWave 5G downloads: It was 640.5 Mbps, but it fell to 571.6 Mbps this year.
But we go. That average mmWave download speed wipes out any other type of wireless connection. Even standard low-spectrum 5G is 4.8 times faster than a Wi-Fi hotspot. If you’re just downloading files or streaming, it looks more and more like 5G will be your connection of choice, once you can get it. This is why both T-Mobile and Verizon can sell home-based internet service using nothing more than 5G for backhaul.
Additionally, mmWave 5G beats the rest when it comes to upload speed, something that can usually be blamed on stingy ISPs (if they’re not fiber-based).
Those numbers are in line with the 2021 results, all with a slight improvement. In fact, Wi-Fi improvements were the most significant; Public Wi-Fi went from 11.2 Mbps to 19.5 Mbps. But it still wasn’t enough to catch up with mmWave 5G.

Ship evacuations sometimes turn chaotic, ending in tragedy. In this episode of Futuris, we look at why this happens and what can be improved with new technologies.
To date, a paper plan of the decks has been the captain’s main reference in an emergency. But it doesn’t show where the passengers and crew are located at any given time. If some areas are inaccessible, there may be no way of knowing if there are people trapped inside the ship.
Vassilis Gazikas, director of marine operations at Louis Cruises, explained the process.
“We have to rely on reports from crew members,” he said. “Each crew member has to check the area he or she is in charge of, and report to the central evacuation point. Then the central evacuation point reports to the bridge. So we know how many people are in each section and how many have been evacuated at a given time.”
A range of technological solutions is being developed, aimed at making ship evacuations faster and more organised.
Engineers from several countries have joined forces on this European research project. Tasos Kounoudes is an electronics engineer and the CEO at SignalGeneriX.
He and the LYNCEUS project team he manages are working on a new, faster way of locating a ship’s passengers and crew during a voyage.
“We have developed innovative wireless tags, which can be embedded into life jackets, so the location of people within the ship can be easily pinpointed,” he explained. “This will provide safety officers with the exact location of every passenger and crew member during an evacuation.”
To make this possible, researchers have replaced ordinary smoke detectors with a newly-developed version. These new smoke detectors also create a wireless network across the whole ship.
The latest technology also enables the real-time tracking of the tags on the life jackets. The current location of each person on board is transmitted to the captain, so decisions can be taken much faster.
Antonis Kalis, SignalGeneriX’s head of telecommunications and wireless sensor networks, outlined the new system.
“This interface is similar to the paper plan, so it can be used without much new training,” he said. “The difference is that with the electronic version you can actually see where everyone is. You can zoom in on different decks and see how many people are there. It’s much more functional than the paper and pencil version.”
Rather than searching through printed lists of passenger names, the crew can identify and count each evacuated person using a convenient hand-held device. The same smart tag can be worn as a bracelet, so the person can be found even if there’s no emergency.
But that’s not its only function, as marine engineer and president of the Maritime Institute of Eastern Mediterranean, Zacharias Siokouros, illustrates.
“The bracelet has the extra feature of being able to monitor the health condition of the person wearing it, if needed,” he explained. “So it’s ideal for people with health problems who may choose to be monitored. It’s also convenient for parents who want to track their children’s location on board the ship.”
But how could the crew find someone who has fallen overboard and is therefore no longer within the ship’s wireless network?
Many shipwreck victims die from hypothermia before they are found.
But researchers have developed devices that reflect radar signals, meaning the location of every victim in the area can be triangulated.
Markus Schulz, a research engineer in integrated circuit design at Dresden University of Technology, demonstrated the technology.
“If there’s a passenger in the water, this device sends an electronic signal to a similar gadget on the passenger’s life vest and will receive a reply,” he said. “The speed of this radio exchange indicates how far away that passenger is.”
The new, compact and low-power wireless devices can make emergency operations in the sea faster and better organised; preventing panic and saving lives.


Introducing Two-Way Text Messaging [Product Update]
Up to this point LeadWire has been a one-way text and multimedia marketing tool, except for automated messages sent from the platform when responding to SMS Surveys or our automatic replies features. However, we understand our customers’ need to be able to have those interactions with their customers and be able to respond to inbound messages or create those interactions themselves for an array of use cases like customer care, sales, or simply internal communications. For that reason, we just launched our Messaging Inbox.
The Messaging Inbox will allow you to interact through text and multimedia messages with your customers, either by responding to inbound messages or simply creating new conversations with them.
This real-time text communication is key to businesses that want to stay relevant and take their customer experience to a new level since it will give you a new channel of communication customers are familiar with and prefer to use (60% of consumers prefer businesses to communicate via text). This will also give your customers an easy way to engage with your brand while showing them you care on every step of their journey, which in turn will only help you build loyalty.
The Messaging Inbox will work hand in hand with the text and multimedia marketing campaigns while providing your business with the ability to quickly respond to customer queries and comments to these campaigns so you can have an authentic presence. Moreover, you will be able to see important information about your customers while having a conversation:
- Personal Information: Will contain contact information stored in the audience(s) he belongs to like name and phone number. Soon we will add new fields you can add to audiences to store additional information.
- Audiences: Lists all the audiences the contact is in.
- Campaigns: Lists every campaign the contact has received and the date it was sent. This is especially important because it can give context to inbound messages from contacts.
- Coupons: Lists all the coupons created for a contact in the different audiences the contact is in and their status (redeemed or not redeemed).

The Prescient Networked Digital Data Link (NDDL) unit employs state of the art Software Defined Radio (SDR) technology with Commercial-Off-The-Shelf (COTS) components and our unique self-organising networking algorithms to provide an integrated tactical local data network solution for aviation applications.
Software Defined Radio (SDR)
This technology is the cornerstone of many key data link systems in development and early deployment, such as the US' Joint Tactical Radio System (JTRS) . The NDDL presents a high performance yet cost-effective alternative based on COTS technologies which allows for rapid deployment and incorporation.
The Prescient NDDL maximizes the use of standard industry-grade components, coupled with modern design methodologies and manufacturing concepts, resulting in a product that is reliable, flexible and yet easy to maintain.
Self-Organising Network Algorithm
Using an external synchronization signal (e.g. GPS PPS), the module can be implemented as a tactical network data link using a Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) protocol. In addition to the advanced RF Modulation/ demodulation features, high performance hardware such as Digital Signal Processors (DSP) and high density Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGA) provide tremendous processing power that allows digital filters, Forward Error Correction (FEC) and Digital Down Conversion (DDC) to be performed effortlessly within this single module.
The result is a Network Radio with a system performance that is superior to those based on traditional analog receiver design architectures.
Wide Aspect Antenna
To support the operation of the radio in training environment, a compact antenna complex with a 360 degree of coverage is available. Made of 15 antennae, combined with the datalink radio and a control system, the antenna can control the aspect of its transmission and detection zones.


A new high-resolution tunable RF/microwave photonic notch filter with low-noise performance is presented. It is based on using a dual-input electro-optic intensity modulator together with a frequency-shifting amplified recirculating delay line loop. It can realize a very narrow notch, and also a wide and flat passband to simultaneously excise interference with minimal impact on the wanted signal. The notch filter can be integrated into optical fibre microwave transmission systems. Experimental results are presented which demonstrate a notch filter response with a very narrow notch width of 0.55% of the filter free spectral range, a wide and flat passband, and a high signal-to-noise ratio of 114 dB/Hz. The ability to tune the notch frequency of the filter is also demonstrated.

Despite having one hell of a year in 2021, a lot of technologies and processes still continue to roll out and build.
5G in particular is one area that is sure to impact almost every industry out there.
Not only will this technology and its capabilities delight customers, it will also bring in organizations that are prepared for new growth and revenue streams.
Sure enough, the pandemic accelerated the need for improvements in bandwidth, network connectivity and speed which are all major benefits of 5G.
But according to the FCC, almost 20 million Americans still don’t have access to high speed internet.
Needless to say, this can spell disaster especially for people working and learning from home. But with 5G, carriers are able to provide cheaper, faster wireless internet to get to more people than ever before.
Let’s see what 5G is poised to do in the healthcare, retail and manufacturing industries.
1: Healthcare – Delivery Optimization by 5G
In 2020, there was a whopping 154% increase in telehealth visits as a result of the pandemic.
With faster 5G speeds, telehealth offerings will be improved. The bandwidth will also likely usher in a new era of improved patient monitoring. For example, you’ve got health conditions such as asthma, diabetes, COPD and many more.
Patients who do not live near hospitals will greatly benefit from remote, around the clock ubiquitous monitoring. And with the delivery of COVID-19 vaccines now in motion, business leaders are making plans.
5G now has the potential to expand the capabilities of pharmaceutical internet of things.
Enhanced connectivity of several devices throughout the supply chain means improved product tracking. This will ensure timely delivery of pharmaceuticals with closely monitored environmental controls such as vaccine storage at -100F. These are crucial considerations where time wastage could lead to life and death situations.
2: More Personalized Retail Experience with 5G
We can all agree that shopping looks a whole lot different than it did barely a year ago.
A lot of you probably had to order things online with curbside pickup. But while 5G will improve retail in terms of online shopping, it will also have a dramatic effect on in-person shopping.
That’s because 5G offers faster, real-time tracking of customer shopping habits and product preferences. With this data, retailers can create a more personalized shopping experience via digital signage and loyalty programs.
Similarly, 5G will also usher in a mixed mode shopping experience. For instance, a customer may start their shopping online only to get guided to a physical store where they are directed to the exact aisle.
Virtual and augmented reality are also expected to bridge both offline and online. For instance, one furniture retailer recently updated its augmented reality to allow users to place multiple pieces of furniture in a virtual room before making their purchase. The same app also allows shoppers to simply point their smartphone cameras at furniture and search an entire database for similar products.
3: Manufacturing – Faster, Safer, and more Flexible with 5G
One of the hardest hit industries disrupted by COVID-19 was manufacturing. Reports show that almost 80% of manufacturers expect some sort of financial impact.
Fortunately, 5G will help manufacturers become faster, more connected and malleable. One example is how 5G speeds and bandwidth will allow manufacturers to transmit a whole lot more data almost instantaneously for ops analysis. By monitoring production and performance in real-time manufacturers can determine where to make improvements.
Much like healthcare, an overly efficient supply chain will help manufacturers track supplies and parts. Live monitoring and tracking of equipment will also save resources, reduce waste, and improve uptime.
Thanks to 5G wireless capabilities, factories are able to reduce cabling and improve their agility in configuration.
Similarly, pervasive, always on 5G will limit the need for other Wifi networks. Of course, this will in turn reduce radio frequency interference and improve security. Remote video surveillance can also provide smart hands on the shop floor.
Real-time data transmission and sensors also mean less staff required on the floor thus cutting down production costs. The sensors also implement responsive emergency shut-offs to keep all employees safe.
Conclusion on The Impact of 5G
That wraps up our segment on how 5G will impact manufacture, healthcare and retail industries in 2021. These benefits are by no means exhaustive – they barely scratch the surface of what 5G can achieve. But while much work still lies ahead, COVID-19 has definitely accelerated the race to new tech such as 5G.
What’s more, there’s already plenty of momentum coming through several industries including healthcare, retail and manufacturing. We can all agree that exciting times wait ahead as we continue to move forward and make 5G a reality.

Asynchronous communication refers to any type of communication that involves a lag between sharing information and receiving a response.
Even if the response is prompt, asynchronous communication is not an active dialogue but rather a form of communication that happens ‘out of sync.’
Asynchronous messaging describes communication on messaging apps that don’t involve live communication.
In the modern working world, where significant time zones can separate team members in remote work teams, asynchronous communication is valuable in driving growth.
Examples of asynchronous communication
Several forms of asynchronous communication exist in the modern working environment, including:
- Instant messaging apps, such as Slack and Whatsapp
- Messaging features on project management tools, such as Microsoft Teams and Asana
- Intranet systems
- Internal memos
- Pre-recorded video
Synchronous vs. asynchronous communication
The main difference between asynchronous and synchronous communication is when the back-and-forth occurs.
With asynchronous communication, such as email, there are delayed response times between sender and receiver.
In contrast, synchronous communication happens face-to-face in real-time using tools such as Zoom or video-conferencing platforms. Phone calls, video calls, and live webinars are also examples of synchronous communication.
Before the pandemic, when working in the physical office was the norm, synchronous communication also involved popping by a colleague’s desk or organizing an in-person meeting. These forms of real-time communication don’t have a time lag and demand active attention.
In the modern working world, both types of communication are useful. For example, synchronous communication works best when brainstorming ideas for an upcoming campaign or communicating any concerns (which could be misconstrued over messaging).
Asynchronous communication is ideal for remote teams, recording project updates and communicating details that don’t need an instant response.
Benefits of asynchronous communication
Asynchronous communication tools offer many benefits, especially when there is no need for an immediate response.
Easy communication for dispersed teams
Dispersed teams encounter unique challenges, such as the lack of in-person encounters and productivity struggles. Async communication offers a way to overcome many of these challenges by offering an effective communication solution.
Finding an overlap for employees working in different time zones can be challenging. However, asynchronous communication allows these employees to catch up in their own time without compromising productivity.
The onboarding phase of recruitment should include instructions and expectations for working with asynchronous communication tools.
Less disruption and more deep work
Asynchronous communication prevents interference with a team member’s focus. Instead, workflows continue as normal until the individual makes the active decision to check messages. In this way, employees can focus on their work without any distractions or interruptions.
Just as sharp focus goes hand in hand with high performance, interruptions have the opposite effect. Research from UC Irvine shows that interruptions stop work momentum, and the recovery time can range between eight minutes for simple tasks to 25 minutes for more complex tasks.
It’s important to note that async communication tools send notifications that have the potential to cause distractions. It’s best to mute these notifications during moments of deep work and optimize productivity.
Effective collaboration requires time to work on individual tasks without interruption. Asynchronous communication reduces the amount of time that is spent in unnecessary meetings or listening to irrelevant updates.
Instead, relevant communication points are shared through various async communication channels. All team members remain abreast of updates without experiencing constant interruptions.
In addition, asynchronous communication solutions prevent fatigue by reducing the number of energy-draining meetings.
Transparency and control
Keeping a record of asynchronous communication is easier than synchronous communication as async communication tools provide an accurate record of all communication. Serving as an ongoing script, these messages help document project progress and introduce accountability.
It also allows for more control over remote teams, giving team leaders and project managers the opportunity to monitor employees and their status updates. This way, projects keep moving forward without any bottlenecks or hiccups going unnoticed.
Asynchronous communication tools and examples
The number of asynchronous communication tools has developed alongside technology. Today, teams have a choice of various tools and the option to choose which best suits their needs.
Cloud storage platforms
Cloud storage platforms store data and information on the internet, making the content available to people all around the world.
Google Drive’s G-Suite is the perfect example of such a tool, providing the opportunity to edit Google docs, spreadsheets, and presentations – all of which sync online. Collaborators can also leave comments and access older versions of documents.
Online messaging apps have developed from traditional email. Slack, in particular, allows teams to communicate in a fast, organized, and secure way, with easy access to messages. There’s also the opportunity to group topics of conversation and navigate different Slack channels with ease.
Video-recording tools allow visual communication to be shared asynchronously. Using video-recording tools, such as Loom, team members record their screens and offer verbal context to more complicated matters.
These tools are also useful for recording online meetings for accountability or to update a team member who was unable to attend.
Internal knowledge base
Internal knowledge base tools, such as Tettra, streamline workflows by providing a centralized space for company resources (such as frequently asked questions). Some of these internal knowledge bases even integrate with cloud-based storage such as Dropbox.
Slab is another example of a knowledge hub that organizes company information, team updates, and project progress.
Project management systems
Virtual work hubs lay the foundation for productive project management and communication. For example, Asana allows teammates to communicate on project boards while working with a focus on their tasks. Monday.com, another virtual hub, works similarly, offering the feature to automate routine processes.
Asynchronous communication for global teams
Asynchronous communication methods are effective collaboration tools for remote workers and distributed teams, especially when performing asynchronous work. Each team member can work hours that suit them and keep everyone updated without disruptions.
When choosing your preferred messaging tools, make sure that you consider integrations with existing software. Use asynchronous communication tools to keep team communication strong during the workday, regardless of a physical workspace—and allow Deel to guide your decision.
