Massive IoT Market Drivers

Technological Advancement

Industry 4.0 and Massive-IoT are at the centre of new technological approaches for the development, production, and management of the entire logistics chain, otherwise known as smart factory automation. The massive change in manufacturing due to industry 4.0 and the implementation of IoT requires enterprises to adopt the smarter way to advance production with technologies that reduce industrial accidents caused by a process failure. This is changing the way industries approach the machines to improve efficiency and reduce downtime. This development in connectivity will lead to a larger base of individuals interested in purchasing IoT devices. The boost in the development of high-speed wireless network technology and the number of devices enabled with this technology are increasing rapidly with the penetration of MIoT. These changes in the industry vertical will be driving the market during the forecast period of 2021-2026.

Technology-enabled solutions to the healthcare organizations

During this Covid-19 pandemic, the vendors are taking this as an opportunity by offering emerging technology-enabled solutions to healthcare organizations. For instance, during the early stage of Covid 19 when the virus was infecting people of Shanghai the Shanghai Public Health Clinical Centre (SPHCC) has utilized the California-based connected health start-up Viva LNK’s continuous temperature measuring device to monitor COVID-19 patients, which reduces the risks of doctors and the nurses being infected by the virus.

Massive IoT Market Challenges

Security and the Pandemic

Massive IoT has opened serious security breaches that have drawn the attention of top line tech firms and government agencies across the world. The hacking of industrial Instruments, drug infusion pumps, cameras, and even assault rifles are signifying a security nightmare being caused by the future of IoT. Due to the recent outbreak of Covid-19 IOT investment and deployments have certainly slowed down. However, with major disruptions in global healthcare and supply chains, governments, hospitals, and logistics providers are heading to react quickly for a more connected world that could help better address the current crisis and mitigate future ones. The Covid 19 has done major damage to the Massive IoT market by shutting down the industries and ruining the economy. These factors will be restraining the market during the forecast period.

A little explainer on what happened with AO3:

Basically, someone or a group of someones decided to levy a DDoS attack. What this means is that they created a botnet (network of devices controlled by a bot, usually run in the background of an unsecured IoT device or computer being used for other things. Think data mining) to flood the servers with false requests for service.

What this does mean: AO3 might go back down, if the attack is relaunched. These types of attacks are usually used against businesses where traffic = money, thereby costing a company money. This isn't really an issue here since AO3 is entirely donation and volunteer based.

What this doesn't mean: stories, bookmarks, etc will be deleted and your anonymously published works will be linked back to you. No vulnerable points are breached during this process, so unless this group ends up doing something else, no data breaches will happen. You are safe, your content is safe.

[wolfliving]

It starts with him

What was once a promise of technology to allow us to automate and analyze the environments in our physical spaces is now a heap of broken ideas and broken products. Technology products have been deployed en masse, our personal data collected and sold without our consent, and then abandoned as soon as companies strip mined all the profit they thought they could wring out. And why not? They already have our money.

The Philips Hue, poster child of the smart home, used to work entirely on your local network. After all, do you really need to connect to the Internet to control the lights in your own house?  Well you do now!Philips has announced it will require cloud accounts for all users—including users who had already purchased the hardware thinking they wouldn’t need an account (and the inevitable security breaches that come with it) to use their lights.

Will you really trust any promises from a company that unilaterally forces a change like this on you? Does the user actually benefit from any of this?

Matter in its current version … doesn’t really help resolve the key issue of the smart home, namely that most companies view smart homes as a way to sell more individual devices and generate recurring revenue.

It keeps happening. Stuff you bought isn’t yours because the company you bought it from can take away features and force you to do things you don’t want or need to do—ultimately because they want to make more money off of you. It’s frustrating, it’s exhausting, and it’s discouraging.

And it has stopped IoT for the rest of us in its tracks. Industrial IoT is doing great—data collection is the point for the customer. But the consumer electronics business model does not mesh with the expected lifespan of home products, and so enshittification began as soon as those first warranties ran out.

How can we reset the expectations we have of connected devices, so that they are again worthy of our trust and money? Before we can bring the promise back, we must deweaponize the technology.

Guidelines for the hardware producer

What we can do as engineers and business owners is make sure the stuff we’re building can’t be wielded as a lever against our own customers, and to show consumers how things could be. These are things we want consumers to expect and demand of manufacturers.

Control

Think local

Decouple

Open interfaces

Be a good citizen

1) Control over firmware updates.

You scream, “What about security updates!” But a company taking away a feature you use or requiring personal data for no reason is arguably a security flaw. 

We were once outraged when intangible software products went from something that remained unchanging on your computer, to a cloud service, with all the ephemerality that term promises. Now they’re coming for our tangible possessions.

No one should be able to do this with hardware that you own. Breaking functionality is entirely what security updates are supposed to prevent! A better checklist for firmware updates:

Allow users to control when and what updates they want to apply. 

Be thorough and clear as to what the update does and provide the ability to downgrade if needed. 

Separate security updates from feature additions or changes. 

Never force an update unless you are sure you want to accept (financial) responsibility for whatever you inadvertently break. 

Consider that you are sending software updates to other people’s hardware. Ask them for permission (which includes respecting “no”) before touching their stuff!

2) Do less on the Internet.

A large part of the security issues with IoT products stem from the Internet connectivity itself. Any server in the cloud has an attack surface, and now that means your physical devices do.

The solution here is “do less”. All functionality should be local-only unless it has a really good reason to use the Internet. Remotely controlling your lights while in your own house does not require the cloud and certainly does not require an account with your personal information attached to it. Limit the use of the cloud to only the functions that cannot work without it.

As a bonus, less networked functionality means fewer maintenance costs for you.

3) Decouple products and services.

It’s fine to need a cloud service. But making a product that requires a specific cloud service is a guarantee that it can be enshittified at any point later on, with no alternative for the user owner. 

Design products to be able to interact with other servers. You have sold someone hardware and now they own it, not you. They have a right to keep using it even if you shut down or break your servers. Allow them the ability to point their devices to another service. If you want them to use your service, make it worthwhile enough for them to choose you.

Finally, if your product has a heavy reliance on the cloud to work, consider enabling your users to self-host their own cloud tooling if they so desire. A lot of people are perfectly capable of doing this on their own and can help others do the same.

4) Use open and standard protocols and interfaces.

Most networked devices have no reason to use proprietary protocols, interfaces, and data formats. There are open standards with communities and software available for almost anything you could want to do. Re-inventing the wheel just wastes resources and makes it harder for users to keep using their stuff after you’re long gone. We did this with Twine, creating an encrypted protocol that minimized chatter, because we needed to squeeze battery life out of WiFi back when there weren’t good options.

If you do have a need for a proprietary protocol (and there are valid reasons to do so):

Document it. 

If possible, have a fallback option that uses an open standard. 

Provide tooling and software to interact with your custom protocols, at the very least enough for open source developers to be able to work with it. This goes for physical interfaces as much as it does for cloud protocols.

If the interface requires a custom-made, expensive, and/or hard-to-find tool to use, then consider using something else that is commonly available and off the shelf instead.

5) Be a good citizen.

Breaking paid-for functionality on other people’s stuff is inherently unethical. Consider not doing this! Enshittification is not a technical problem, it is a behavioral one. Offer better products that are designed to resist enshittification, and resist it yourself in everything you do.

Nothing forced Philips to do what they are doing: a human made a decision to do it. They could have just as easily chosen not to. With Twine’s server lock-in, at least we chose to keep it running, for 12 years now. Consider that you can still make a decent living by being honest and ethical towards the people who are, by purchasing your products, paying for your lifestyle. 

We didn’t get here by accident. Humans made choices that brought us to this point, and we can’t blame anyone for being turned off by it. But we can choose to do better. We can design better stuff. And we can choose not to mess things up after the fact.

We’re putting this into practice with Pickup. (We also think that part of an IoT reset is giving users the creative freedom of a general-purpose device.) If you’re looking for something better and our product can fill a need you have, consider backing us. We cannot claim to be perfect or have all of the answers, but we are absolutely going to try. The status quo sucks. Let’s do something about it.

Total Drama Fic Rec Week Day 3: AUs

*rubs hands together maniacally* Oh boy do I have a bunch of AU fics to recommend to you folks. I'm a sucker for a good AU if you couldn't tell by my own. There's also some horror/darker fics becuase I do love when the teens are put through The Horrors. I've separated the non-horror from the horror for those who aren't as big of fans as I of the genre.

Face the Sun (and Fall) by Noah_about_it: An Alenoah superhero fic where Noah is a vigilante trying to hide his identity despite working for one of the city's most prominent superhero couples. It's got assistant Noah, Chref dads, and Team E-scope. Also a cool variety of powersets. What more could you want?

Shoot Your Local Celebrity! by butterflyclipped: An Alenoah fic where Noah is an aspiring screenwriter forced to be Chris' assistant to make ends meet while Alejandro is a rising celebrity who got signed onto a buddy cop movie he hates with his only reprieve being the assistant of the actor he hates the most. Has a lot of Bojack Horseman vibes in the best possible way. It's only two chapters and hasn't updated in so very long, but I still enjoyed it and highly recommend it.

Total Drama Kingdoms and why Noah hates royals by QuestionableLasagna: A fantasy Alenoah fic where Noah is a wizard handling all the behind the scenes of a fantasy reality show that Prince Alejandro happens to be taking part. These two butt heads in the most glorious of ways, and it's fun to discover what fantasy creature each cast member is! There's also mystery in both Alejandro AND Noah's backstories, so that's a treat.

The Horrors

Death Cast by Nocopops: A really good Island of the Slaughtered fic that goes over each of the deaths, and then the experiences of each of the survivors. Does a really good job of making them all feel like teenagers who just made horrible mistakes due to their circumstances. Also, it's finished! Which isn't a thing you can say about a lot of IOTS fics. This was one of the fics that helped me segue into the Total Drama fandom when my love for it was rekindled thanks to IOTS, so it's got a special place in my heart.

Despair Island by Knifez: This one's an oldie, like was made in 2014 classic. It's a TDI AU where getting eliminated from the show means getting killed. All these teenagers are on edge for some fairly obvious reasons, and that tension carries throughout the fic. There are moments of OOC-ness, but most of which can be explained by the situation, or by the author. Though uh, I will say that if you're a Cody fan, I don't think this fic is for you. You'll see what I mean by the first chapter. He doesn't get better.

Total Drama World Tour: Massacre by Pearl_Islands7: A more modern fic based on Despair Island. Same premise of teens dying if they get eliminated, though with the spin that it's during World Tour. It's juicy in a different way to have the characters know each other already and still have to choose who gets to live/die. There's also a twist that a couple of teens will randomly be allowed to live, and Chris experiencing hauntings from the eliminated teens.

You jumps over the fence and fall on the floor, your were panting already but keep going, you stand up and run away has fast has you can from this place.

Once far enough you sit behind a tree and gasp for air, you never run this fast in your life ever.

You look at your phone and see it glitch, you look at it shocked but curious.

before you see someone appears smiling, this was this creepy guy from before !!

"well shit-" Your reaction seem to make him look at you amused and surprise by that calm tone

"yeah fuck this, get out of my phone i'm scared enough just kill me at this point-"

He smile even more creepy, he like that you can see it, before you know it and hand come out and grab your neck harshly making you gasp of pain.

You close you eyes but nothing happen, the hand let you go before you see your phone back to normal when you open your eyes.

"what the fuck just happen-..."

You didn't want to figure this out and stand up running away going back home.

It took you a while but once home your brother come to you and look if you ok, he hear of it already, he is just happy to see you alive and safe now

You go to your room to lay down and calm down your phone on the desk.

You hear noise and look at your tv on the wall in front of your bed.

You look scared at that, it was glitching before you see the same guy waving at you amused, you know you can't escape him anymore, even if you try he will be here.

"awwww something wrong little girl~" You try to stay calm when you see the text on the tv, before all the sudden he come out.

You back away when you see him coming closer now on your bed, your bed was on the floor so he just knees down and crawl to you in a creepy way.

He have a knife-

You panic and kick him in the jaw

"get away you pervert ! i won't let you rape me or kill me !"

he hold his jaw before he look even more creepy

"aaawwwww but i was just planning on killing you, but i can also have fun with you~"

you push him away in panic, he go back in the tv laughing

"nah, your too much fun to torture~ i see you tomorrow hehehe~"

and with that he disappear in the tv leaving you here all alone

...

"i wanna die-"

[real-total-drama-takes]

Man..

So. Believe or not, I'm new to this fandom, not a year in..

But now I wanna leave..because like..I hate how this fandom is,

That's why I said "I offer myself as a punching bag or to commit battery against me for being an AleNoah shipper" (I realized that it had typos..so here you go.) because I'm sure of if I turned off anon and used my user I would be harassed by at least one person for shipping a silly ship..

Extremely misogynistic, sexualizing minors..let's not, so and so..

Like..for IOTS..why would..Who would..what in your right mind thinks it's a nice little theory to say "Heather was SA'ed by the Man in the Woods"

Might I remind you—this show is on Netflix kids! It airs on Cartoon Network..a channel—made for kids!

I understand that because this show came out 2007-2008 so most that watched would now be adults..

But that doesn't mean go crazy and do inappropriate things..guess what. Kids still watch this so.

Fun fact: In each generation..their all minors!

I don't want to hear "The consent of age is 16 in Canada"—sexualizing minors is still wrong..

Also the problem with misogyny. Let's say someone like Heather or Beth does something wrong for example Heather kissing Trent. She would get hate for that, as expected.

Now let's say Alejandro does that.. cricket.

Like what year are we in??? 1968??

And let's not forget sending death threats to voice actors..

Okay! Hate a character! Hate them all you want, but to send death threats..get checked out please..

Like, the VA is just doing their job, they can't control anything but the character's voice.

I'm not going to hate on this entire fandom because there's amazing people out there that are not like what I've mentioned.

But seriously.

Safe to say, I hate (not entirely) this fandom. ❤️

Deimos lore 17?:

I NEED TO BE THE ONLY HUMAN BEING IN THIS FANDOM TO MAKE A ISLAND OF THE SLAUGHTER AU WITH THE 2023 CAST

Motives:

Surely most of them will be more gruesome than the original IOTS

And because surely they all will find a way to mafaking kill chase and ripper (I mean, in MY slaughter au Chase will also mafaking die but NOT RIPPER)

So yeah, um

Vote Deimos Breakfrost para presidente do Brasil 2023 aí o voto ô 8008135

Also... Here's the start of the IOTS fan fic that I am doing

chapter 1: Deadmans Party

???: "Hey, did you know that there's a new Reality show that will premiere?"

?!?: "Really? What's the name of the reality show??"

???: "well... Ah... Total Drama Island. As I can remember, It's been like... 15 or 16 year's since there's no new season."

?!?: "For real, For real??"

???: "yeaaaah."

???: "And there's like, 14 places available, just 2 places are unavailable and their owners are... Uh, Julia and Caleb."

?!?: "Julia? Aren't she that one 'vegan, love n' peace' girl from Instagram?"

???: "uh huh"

?!?: "pfff, i NEED to see that girl from closer. Ain't no way that she acts in the same way that she acts in Instagram in real life. Okay that's it, I'll be on Total Drama Island, do you promise to be in there to?"

???: "yeah, man. I promise."

?!?: "GOOD. see you in summer"

That was the WORSE mistake of my life, worse than meeting THAT FUCKED UP GIRL.

...

What happened in the Summer 2023?

- Something Horrible, it was pratically from a slasher horror film, or worse.

But I should explain what happened, right? So I'll explain.

WHAT HAPPENED IN THE ISLAND OF THE 'SLAUGHTER'

"Island of the Slaughter accident"

-It really supposed to be a Great the Day, it was the Premiere of The Total Drama Island, after 15-16 years. Everyone that should be in the show was there;

Caleb, Axel, Nichelle, Lauren, Damien, MK, Wayne, Raj, Ripper, Zee, Chase, Emma, me (Millie), Bowie and Priya.

And the challenge, well, my team won. But after the challenge I noticed that Caleb was... Unquiet?

Chase: "So, Ripper Right?"

Ripper: "Yeah, what do you want, Mr Beast Wannabe"

Chase: "Ah, Nothing, It's nothing. I just wanted to know if you wanted to chat a little bit about the things that happened today... Specially when your sh-"

Ripper: "Ah Shut up! Is not my fault that I am... Uh, that I am-

Chase: "thick?"

Ripper: "WHAT?!"

Chase: "Pff, calm down man! It's just a joke i am just saying that cuz... Is that Caleb?"

Ripper: "AH DON'T YOU EVEN DARE TO CHANGE THE SUBJE... Why does he look... 'scared'?"

Chase: "actually, Millie said that he was like that during the entire challenge so--- I'll just talk with him"

DDOS Attack Explained

In this article, you will learn and explore details about what a DDOS Attack mean, how it functions. This write up is basically all you need to grasp the concept of DDOS attacks. DDOS attacks are a primary concern in Internet security today which makes it a very relevant topic to discuss.

DDOS means  “Distributed Denial-of-Service“. It can be defined as a malicious attempt to disrupt the normal traffic of a targeted server, service or network by overwhelming the target or its surrounding infrastructure with a flood of Internet traffic.

The latter achieves effectiveness by utilizing multiple compromised computer systems as sources of attack traffic. Exploited machines can include computers and other networked resources such as IoT devices. In Simple terms a DDOS attack is like an unexpected traffic jam clogging up the highway, preventing regular traffic from arriving at its destination.

How Does a DDOS Attack Work

A DDOS attack is carried out with networks of Internet-connected machines. These networks consist of computers and other devices (such as IOT devices) which have been infected with malware, allowing them to be controlled remotely by an attacker. These individual devices are referred to as bots (or zombies), and a group of bots is called a botnet.

Once a botnet has been established, the attacker is able to direct an attack by sending remote instructions to each bot. When a victim’s server or network is targeted by the botnet, each bot sends requests to the target’s IP address, potentially causing the server or network to become overwhelmed, resulting in a denial-of-service to normal traffic.

Because each bot is a legitimate Internet device, separating the attack traffic from normal traffic can be difficult.

Stay Ahead of Attackers: How to Identify A DDOS Attack

From a tactical DDOS mitigation standpoint, one of the primary skills you need to have is pattern recognition. Being able to spot repetitions that signify a DDOS attack is taking place is key, especially in the initial stages. Automated applications and AI are often used as helpers, but generally companies need a skilled IT professional to differentiate between legitimate traffic and a DDoS attack.

The following are typical warning signs which could mean a DDOS attack is taking place.

Reports from existing mitigation devices (e.g., load balancers, cloud-based services)

Customers report slow or unavailable service

Employees utilizing the same connection also experience issues with speed

Multiple connection requests come in from a specific IP address over a short amount of time

You receive a 503 service unavailable error when no maintenance is being performed

Ping requests to technology resources time out due to Time to Live (TTL) timeouts

Logs show an abnormally huge spike in traffic

DDoS vs. DoS Attacks: What’s the Difference?

It’s important to avoid confusing a DDoS (distributed denial of service) attack with a DoS (denial of service) attack. Although only one word separates the two, these attacks vary significantly in nature.

Strictly defined, a typical DDoS attack manipulates many distributed network devices in between the attacker and the victim into waging an unwitting attack, exploiting legitimate behavior.

A traditional DoS attack doesn’t use multiple, distributed devices, nor does it focus on devices between the attacker and the organization. These attacks also tend not to use multiple internet devices.

Single-source SYN floods: This occurs when an attacker uses a single system to issue a flood attack of SYN packets, manipulating the typical TCP three-way handshake. For example, a SYN flood someone might generate using a Kali Linux computer is not a true DDoS attack because the attack being made is only coming from one device. This is the case even if the attacker uses IP address spoofing. A true DDoS attack is generated by network-level devices, for network-level devices. In other words, you use multiple routers or Memcached servers to attack a network.

The “ping of death”: Years ago, some network drivers contained flawed code that would crash a system if it received an ICMP packet that contained certain parameters.

The slow loris attack: The slow loris attack is often called a DDoS attack, but because the attack targets a specific server (in this case, a web server) and usually does not use intermediate networking devices, it is typically a traditional DoS attack.

Each of the above DoS attacks take advantage of software or kernel weaknesses in a particular host. To resolve the issue, you fix the host, and/or filter out the traffic. If you can upgrade a server to mitigate an attack, then it doesn’t qualify as a traditional DDoS attack.

Remember, in a DDoS attack, the threat actor adopts a resource consumption strategy. This strategy involves using what appears to be legitimate requests to overwhelm systems which are, in fact, not legitimate, resulting in system issues.

How Long Does a DDOS Attack Last

DDoS attacks vary greatly in length and sophistication. A DDOS attack can take place over a long period of time or be quite brief:

Long-Term Attack: An attack waged over a period of hours or days is considered a long-term attack. For example, the DDoS attack on AWS caused disruption for three days before finally being mitigated.

Burst Attack: Waged over a very short period of time, these DDOS attacks only last a minute or even a few seconds.

Don’t be deceived. Despite being very quick, burst attacks can actually be extremely damaging. With the advent of internet of things (IoT) devices and increasingly powerful computing devices, it is possible to generate more volumetric traffic than ever before.

As a result, attackers can create higher volumes of traffic in a very short period of time. A burst DDoS attack is often advantageous for the attacker because it is more difficult to trace.

Evolvement of DDOS Attack

One of the realities of cybersecurity is that most attackers are moderately talented individuals who have somehow figured out how to manipulate a certain network condition or situation. Even though there is often discussion about advanced persistent threats (APT) and increasingly sophisticated hackers, the reality is often far more mundane.

For example, most DDoS attackers simply find a particular protocol. They’ll discover that they can manipulate the transmission control protocol (TCP) handshake to create a flood attack of SYN packets or a particular type of server, such as the memory cache daemon (it is often called “Memcached,” for memory cache daemon).

The Memcached service is a legitimate service frequently used to help speed up web applications. Attackers have often exploited Memcached implementations that are not properly secured, and even those that are operating properly.

Attackers have also discovered that they can compromise IoT devices, such as webcams or baby monitors. But today, attackers have more help. Recent advancements have given rise to AI and connective capabilities that have unprecedented potential.

Like legitimate systems administrators, attackers now have voice recognition, machine learning and a digital roadmap that can allow them to manipulate integrated devices in your home or office, such as smart thermostats, appliances and home security systems.

Benefits of IoT Applications In The Healthcare Industry

New technologies are quickly filling up the healthcare sector. The ability of hospitals, doctors, and service providers to provide high-quality healthcare services in order to enhance patient outcomes is constrained by escalating healthcare difficulties, such as the growth in chronic illnesses and the aging global population.

They have come to the doors of cutting-edge technologies like the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data analytics as a result of these issues. IoT is the one that has the most caught the eye of healthcare service providers.

What does IoT mean for Healthcare?

IoT solutions for healthcare are being implemented or are being researched by more than 60% of healthcare companies globally. In the upcoming years, a large rise in the number of individuals and healthcare professionals adopting IoT-connected devices for health monitoring is anticipated. Some of the issues that have arisen in healthcare throughout the years may be resolved by the Internet of Things. For example, low rates of drug compliance, a lack of instruments for treatment management, poor patient monitoring, and a professional skills gap.

Benefits of IoT Applications in the Healthcare Industry

Smartens Up Hospitals

The use of IoT in healthcare allows for continuous and precise patient health tracking. In addition to this, there are a number of other ways that IoT improves the performance of the healthcare sector. Asset management represents one of the components. Wheelchairs, oxygen concentrators, defibrillators,  nebulizers, and other monitoring devices are all regularly tracked to know where they are in real time. These IoT sensors enable hospital administrators to track their real-time whereabouts in a matter of minutes.

Transparency of Insurance Claims

One of the upcoming significant things is likely to be the expanding healthcare regulations combined with IoT connection. Why? This is due to the fact that many people make up medical conditions in order to get the most out of their insurance money. It implies that the insurance company will suffer a loss. As a result, insurance firms may use the data collected through top-notch health monitoring devices for underwriting and claim procedures due to the clear validity of the IoT-driven data. Such methods would make it simple to identify fraudulent claims. The insurer will thereafter be able to locate unsuitable applicants for underwriting.

Maintains A Record Of Your Patients

These days, wearables as well as other smart sensing technology allow doctors or personal nurses to evaluate the health of their patients remotely. The IoT sensors built into this equipment let the doctors follow the patient’s medical diagnostic state efficiently. It is simple to organize the patient’s treatment program and to keep an eye out for those who need emergency medical attention. Many patients at a hospital are in need of various types of medical care.

IoT makes it easier to maintain an organized and hassle-free database of each patient’s prior medical history, present medical needs, and potential future medical support.

Supports Medical Research

Medical research takes many years to complete, and IoT may greatly speed up this process. It is as a result of the data on medical conditions that may be utilised for statistical analysis. As a result, IoT not only reduces research time but also associated costs, making it possible for larger and more effective medical research and therapies.

Wearables are now the most popular smart gadgets in use for healthcare. However, they are not the most helpful when it comes to research labs. Modern laboratories need sophisticated monitoring equipment that can keep an eye on anything from lab temperature to CO2 leakage. The appropriate authorities are informed right away if any irregularity is found.

Creating Healthier Cities

Almost over half of the world’s population lives in cities, which are remarkably diverse systems. Millions of people live happy lives, choosing modes of transportation, sitting in traffic, and bike riding through parks. The addition of weather to this already complicated mix of individual and group activity results in more intricate patterns of air quality that alter daily.

We require real-time information on all scales in order to comprehend the patterns of air quality throughout the cities and how they influence the urban population. Here, IoT systems deliver real-time data from various points around the cities, pointing towards smart city initiatives. The decision-makers for creating healthier cities will be better equipped with a higher resolution image of the air quality.

How Cost-Effectively Can IoT Healthcare Solutions Be Implemented?

IoT in healthcare ultimately aims to improve patient health, empower medical professionals, and reduce costs for everyone involved. You may create a low-cost IoT sensor network with a dependable technology partner.

Reduced expenditures, clearly defined roles and functionality for sensors, and sending and receiving data only when necessary are just a few of the foundations of cost efficiency that may be used to the creation of IoT apps for healthcare. In order to accomplish all of this, you must work with your technology partner to design an efficient IoT app development strategy and application architecture.

IoT In Your Health Sector?

In conclusion, we can say with certainty that IoT has fundamentally altered the healthcare sector. With the exception of the Internet of Things, among the most important industrial areas is healthcare. Additionally, the delivery of services and facilities in the healthcare industry has altered as a result of IoT app development.

Hire IoT developers, set up a project, and take a step towards creating the healthcare of the future if you want to take advantage of this change.

Industry trend｜What impacts will the rise of NearLink have on the UWB and Bluetooth positioning markets?

In recent years, in the field of domestic wireless communication technology, NearLink is like a bright star, always occupying the windward side of traffic. However, in the AIoT industry circle, although everyone has heard of NearLink a lot, perhaps many people are not very clear about what exactly this technology and its derived industries are like.

1.What kind of technology is NearLink exactly?

In fact, NearLink does not specifically refer to a single technology. It is more like an organization and an ecosystem. Under this large ecosystem of NearLink, different specific technologies can be derived. According to the public information of the NearLink Alliance, we see that there are currently the following types of technologies for NearLink:

l SLE: This is a type of technology for NearLink that is benchmarked against Bluetooth BLE. The bandwidth rates of the two are close. It is mainly for low-power and low-cost application scenarios.

l SLB: This is a type of technology for NearLink that is benchmarked against Wi-Fi. It is mainly for high-bandwidth and high-speed application scenarios.

l SLP: This is a type of technology for NearLink that is benchmarked against UWB. It has high-precision positioning capabilities and is mainly for scenarios such as digital car keys, remote controls, and smart door locks.

l SLZ: This is a type of technology for NearLink that is benchmarked against RFID. It is mainly for low-cost passive IoT scenarios (logistics, retail, etc.).

The several types of technologies benchmarked by NearLink are all the most mainstream and widely used short-distance IoT connection technologies in the current market. As for whether there will be new technologies for NearLink in the future, the author thinks it is very likely. For example, millimeter-wave radar has such potential.

2.The logic of NearLink's commercial use

There are already Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, UWB, and RFID in the market. Why develop NearLink? This requires an analysis of the logic of NearLink's existence.

l First, it is the requirement of information technology application innovation. Due to changes in the international situation, the market demand for information technology application innovation has directly come to the fore from a veiled state. People with discerning eyes can see the importance and necessity of information technology application innovation. Therefore, as a purely domestic technology, NearLink has a rigid demand in application markets such as government departments, public institutions, and large state-owned enterprises.

l Second, it has improved performance compared to existing technologies. This is actually one of the underlying logics of NearLink's existence. If a new technology is worse than the original technology, then there is naturally no need for it to exist. Looking at the parameter introduction of NearLink, SLE, SLB, SLP, and SLZ all seem to have improvements compared to the benchmarked technologies.

l Third, brand influence. Although the NearLink Alliance is an independent organization, it is undeniable that it has a deep imprint of Huawei. For terminal enterprises, using NearLink means that products will have a higher premium and can bring more tangible benefits to the company. This is also a driving force for enterprises to use NearLink.

3.How is the industrialization and implementation of NearLink?

The industrialization and implementation of NearLink has two aspects. The first aspect is how to be compatible with the existing ecosystem.

We know that Bluetooth is already the most widely used IoT connection technology. The annual shipment of Bluetooth chips is approximately 6 billion pieces, and the annual shipment of Wi-Fi chips is also in the billions. The combined annual shipment of the two is on the order of 10 billion. Therefore, NearLink products need to consider the compatibility of the market. Currently, most NearLink products on the market are multi-mode products.

For example:

SLE + BLE is adding SLE to the current BLE products.

SLB + Wi-Fi is adding SLB on the basis of Wi-Fi.

There are also three-mode and four-mode products.

Since UWB itself is also a new thing, the necessity for the benchmarked SLP to be compatible with it is much reduced.

Such compatible multi-mode products bring an intuitive problem that the cost is much higher. Especially since NearLink currently has no volume yet, there is still a long way to go to reach the current prices of BLE and Wi-Fi.

The second aspect is what are the current commercial progress of NearLink.

According to the author's understanding, NearLink has achieved certain application results in all three directions of SLE, SLB, and SLP.

l SLE: In consumer scenarios, keyboards, mice, and home appliances have begun to see volume growth. It is expected to have shipments in the millions. In B-end scenarios, power, industry and other scenarios have also begun to be used, but the volume growth in B-end scenarios is relatively slow.

l SLB: Router products and gateway products have begun to be implemented. It is reported that operators will soon release large tenders to support SLB.

l SLP: In a TV of Casarte, the remote control scenario has been implemented. Its use is similar to the previously released UWB "Lingxi Yizhi" solution by Huawei. Considering the maturity of the industry and vehicle-grade certification, it is expected that it will take a relatively long time for the digital car key based on SLP.

4.How is the NearLink Positioning going?

Finally, combined with our ongoing research for the "2025 China High-Precision Positioning Technology Industry White Paper", let's talk about the prospects of NearLink Positioning.

The most direct technology for NearLink positioning is SLP, which is benchmarked against UWB.

We haven't seen the detailed introduction materials of SLP yet, so we won't discuss which is better between SLP and UWB in terms of technology for now.

From a business perspective, the reason why UWB has become known in the market in recent years is mainly due to the promotion and support of Apple. Samsung has also widely popularized it in mobile phones, and Qualcomm's UWB chip has also been released. The support of mobile phone manufacturers for UWB technology is crucial.

For NearLink SLP, it should be no problem for Huawei to add this chip to its own mobile phone ecosystem. But what about other mobile phone manufacturers? It's hard to say. The author thinks this point is a fatal weakness.

So, the application scenarios that SLP is currently looking for are scenarios that don't require mobile phone support. The remote control is one, and the car is barely one. There don't seem to be many others. Of course, in B-end application scenarios, mobile phones are not needed, but the volume of B-end scenarios is not large. It's not clear whether SLP will be interested.

In addition to SLP, SLE, which is benchmarked against Bluetooth, also has positioning capabilities. The promotion of this positioning technology also faces the problem of the mobile phone ecosystem.

In conclusion, whether the promotion of NearLink can persuade domestic mobile phone manufacturers such as Xiaomi, OPPO, VIVO, and Honor to use it is a key issue.

AI’s Growing Role in Combating Deforestation

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/ais-growing-role-in-combating-deforestation/

AI’s Growing Role in Combating Deforestation

Deforestation has been an ongoing problem for decades. Even as technology has advanced, offenders have held the advantage because there’s simply too much land to cover — until now. Could artificial intelligence be the key to putting an end to illegal deforestation? Both its potential and real-world use cases show promise.

1. Identify Optimal Reforestation Areas

Although deforestation rates fluctuate, more trees are lost yearly. It increased by 4% from 2021 to 2022, amounting to over 6.6 million hectares of forest lost. Even if all illegal logging, mining and agriculture operations cease today, those critical environments will still be at a disadvantage.

If this trend continues unchecked, the world will see temperatures rise, wildlife flee and local ecosystems weaken. An unstoppable dieback process triggers at that point, meaning healthy trees’ conditions progressively deteriorate. This would lead to a domino effect where millions more hectares of forest are lost despite no human-led deforestation.

With AI, activists and local governments can accelerate reforestation, helping forests return to how they were before human intervention. The model can pinpoint areas where replanting would be most effective. It could also identify fast-growing, native tree species resistant to pests and drought. Once the saplings are planted, it can monitor growth in real time.

2. Analyze Satellite Imagery for Forest Loss

For decades, analyzing satellite imagery was one of the few ways to identify deforestation in action aside from the less efficient word-of-mouth or boots-on-the-ground strategies. However, since there are over 3 trillion trees on the planet, there’s a lot of ground to cover. While manually going through these images is impractical, traditional software misses critical details.

AI-powered image recognition technology can detect early indicators of forest loss, including new roads, smoke and new clearings. It can report any positive hit to a human in real time, enabling them to review and report to local law enforcement agencies. Teams can even use AI-powered drones for up-close aerial views.

3. Differentiate Between Legal and Illegal Operations

Sometimes, deforestation is legal. Local governments approve those operations so companies can continue doing business. However, what starts as a sanctioned action doesn’t always stay that way. There are many cases where individuals encroach into protected territory with the understanding that it is better to seek forgiveness than ask permission.

In fact, cropland expansion accounts for almost 50% of deforestation worldwide, closely followed by livestock grazing at 38.5%. With satellite imagery alone, differentiating between legal, semi-legal and illegal deforestation is complicated. AI fills in the gaps by analyzing the color, texture and extent of tree cover, eliminating the guesswork.

4. Analyze Sounds That Signal Deforestation

What does deforestation sound like? Revving chainsaws, falling logs, roaring excavators, distressed wildlife and burning brush. Unfortunately, the noise from heavy machinery, power tools, pickup trucks and conversations between workers is quickly dampened in densely forested areas, making pinpointing those operations difficult.

AI-enabled Internet of Things (IoT) surveillance systems powered by miniature solar panels for acoustic monitoring can be placed just about anywhere, so they can pick up those audio cues. Plus, since animals flee, entering areas they normally wouldn’t as the offenders burn or cut down trees, those cameras may identify potential human interference before logging begins.

5. Trace Illegal Operations to the Source

The Bureau of Investigative Journalism recently discovered beef from farmers was making its way into global supply chains — including those that supply two of the world’s largest meat companies — after they were accused of illegal deforestation and subsequently punished. Despite embargoes, business continued as usual. Some even seemingly continued deforesting.

Illegal deforestation is often driven by local sawmills, refineries and farms. Whether workers want to expand their cropland, sell more products or feed their herds for cheap, they contribute to significant forest loss. Unfortunately, tracing these activities back to their source is difficult. That is, unless people use AI.

AI can track heavy machinery as it moves from newly created clearings back to its base station, helping investigators narrow their search. Alternatively, it can employ facial recognition technology to uncover the identities of those involved. Doing so helps local law enforcement agencies identify repeat offenders, shrinking the gap between assigning and enforcing punishment.

6. Analyze Unarchived Legacy Data

Although data on deforestation stretches back decades, much remains inaccessible to this day. That’s because it is only accessible via unarchived, physical sources like field notes, cassette tapes, written correspondence and preserved biological specimens. This evidence exists in silos, hidden away from traditional tools that scrape online resources.

With AI image recognition, language detection and automatic transcription, researchers can finally secure these valuable insights. This enables them to identify forest loss drivers and reveal repeat offenders. Advanced models can consider context, maintaining accuracy even if offending entities change their names or localities’ borders shift.

7. Enable Proactive Intervention 

Although satellite image clarity has been improving for decades — professionals can now pinpoint deforestation with unparalleled precision — this strategy is still reactive. Forest loss still happens even if they immediately intervene upon getting an alert. With AI, they can finally achieve proactive intervention, identifying at-risk areas before clearing begins.

AI can analyze factors like local topography, distance from roads and industrialization rates to determine which areas are most at risk. It can even consider complex elements like the geopolitical climate or the global timber market. Such a tool is no longer hypothetical — one joint research team has developed it.

Researchers at the World Wildlife Fund collaborated with computer scientists to develop an AI called Forest Foresight. It can predict forest loss up to six months in advance with upwards of 80% accuracy. When it recognizes potential illegal operations, it can alert local authorities, stopping deforestation before it starts.

8. Use Sensors to Identify Illegal Activity

Whether illegal deforestation operations use heavy machinery to cut down trees, move farm animals into protected territory or start wildfires to clear land, their actions produce some sort of emission. For instance, a single cow produces up to 264 pounds of methane annually — an entire herd’s gas would be noticeable.

AI-enabled IoT sensors strategically placed in high-risk forests can track methane, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide emissions. If they suddenly spike, teams can investigate further. This approach could be uniquely effective because the model can consider context, enabling it to filter out false positives and make investigations easier.

9. Provide an Anonymous Tip Line

In the past, activists and law enforcement agencies largely relied on word of mouth to uncover illegal logging operations. While they moved away from that approach once satellite imagery became widely available, it is no less useful. If they were to leverage AI-powered chatbots in affected areas, they could receive insightful anonymous tips on potential forest loss.

Deploying AI for this use case is ideal because a single model can hold dozens — if not hundreds or thousands — of conversations at once. Those interacting with it don’t need to wait for business hours or be put on hold, incentivizing them to send a message. This technology can also analyze semantics, pull keywords and summarize reports for their human counterparts.

Could AI Put an End to Deforestation Once and for All?

Truth be told, AI isn’t a silver bullet. It may do all of the legwork, but many other moving parts exist. Ending deforestation requires buy-in from local politicians, collaboration between investigative groups and publicly available resources. That said, this technology could still be a game-changer, reducing forest loss rates to levels never before seen.
