April 15th, 2024Semiconductor Partnerships Signal Growing Maturity of Smart Building Market
“It was not so very long ago that people thought semiconductors were part-time orchestra leaders and that microchips were very small snack foods,” said US politician Geraldine Ferraro in the 1980s about a technology that has gone on to revolutionize the world. Semiconductors are so essential for the creation of computers, phones, vehicles, and almost […]
An Unfortunate Supply Chain of Events
“The global electronics and semiconductor industries are currently suffering the most serious disruptions to supply chain operations in living memory. Supply chain issues have been driven by a series of interrelated trends that have served to complicate, compound, and increase both the scale and impact of the challenge,” reads our latest research study. “These issues have […]
From COVID19 to Ripple20 – A New IoT Cybersecurity Threat is Unveiled
As the COVID-19 pandemic passes more somber fatality milestones and our global society strive to return to some kind of normality, other issues like cybersecurity persist and increase. Last week, JSOF Research Lab uncovered a series of 19 zero-day vulnerabilities that could impact hundreds of millions of IoT devices. Collectively named “Ripple20,” the vulnerabilities were […]
Smart Building Technology: Maintaining the Balance Between Energy & Data
The power efficiencies we expect from microchips according to Moore’s law are decreasing, leading to growing power demand from computing technology. However, we are gaining energy efficiency from smart technology in buildings, cities, and elsewhere. That smart-tech generates massive amounts of data, which then demands huge amounts of power. We can and we must build […]
No Shortage of Investment for AI Video Analytics Technology
In the last 18 months, a plethora of startups have begun working on their own variations of AI hardware and/or deep learning algorithms. Very few of these startups have yet to establish a significant installed base and most have yet to ship a product but have had no trouble raising finance. Looking to optimize inference […]
4G was a Small Step for Connectivity, 5G will be a Giant Leap for the Internet of Things
Two years ago, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg took the stage at the Mobile World Congress to stress that connecting the rest of the world to the Internet was a higher priority than developing 5G, the next step in mobile data connectivity. It seems that no one really listened and here comes 5G! This year’s Mobile […]
Verticalized IoT Startups “Will Power the Next Wave of our Industry’s Evolution”
The Internet of Things (IoT) is broad and promises to almost everything for almost everyone: McKinsey & Co. estimates a potential economic impact of IoT systems of as much as $11.1 trillion per year in 2025. Approximately 70% of the value is derived from B2B applications. GE believes the IoT will add $10 to $15 […]
Traditional Lighting Firms Seize The IoT Opportunity
Once upon a time light fixtures just illuminated spaces and then along came the internet of things (IoT). The IoT turns “things,” like lights, into connected things. As buildings became smart buildings, lighting found itself in the perfect position to act as a platform for a wide variety of IoT applications. The ceiling has long […]
