In the IoT world, security is one of the biggest challenges. When you’re connecting multiple devices together over a network, various doors are left ajar to security threats, along with an increase in the number of doors themselves that open to the involved data transmissions. However, data transmissions are an integral part of IoT, because […]

Not all streaming protocols are created equal. Some protocols are better than others at facilitating high quality communication between devices over a network. The ability of a network to transmit data between devices at the highest standard is known as quality of service (QoS). The internet, by design, does not have built-in QoS, meaning all […]

As cyberattacks become increasingly sophisticated, so too must cybersecurity initiatives and technologies. However, IoT technologies in particular seem to have lagged behind. Many IoT devices have weak cyber defenses, if they have any at all. Something as seemingly mundane as a smart dishwasher or smart lighting system might allow nefarious actors to gain access to […]

When streaming video between IoT devices, selecting the most suitable video streaming protocol is crucial. Broadly speaking, video streaming protocols are different sets of rules and standards that dictate how video data is transmitted over the internet. Essentially, video streaming protocols dictate how to segment video content into small, manageable chunks of data. These chunks […]
