View Complete ArticleAbout 50 percent of the Internet of Things (IoT) devices will connect using wireless technology. That leaves 50 percent connecting by wire/cable. Two challenges arise when considering cable based IoT. First it is likely that there will be a large number of IoT devices to connect to LAN switches, so there will be many LAN switch ports required. Secondly, the devices will probably be further away from the network closets (LAN switch location). If you are using standard Ethernet cable (category 5 or higher) the cable is limited to about 330 feet (100 meters) length. There are five possible solutions available to the distance challenge beyond 300 feet.

View Complete ArticleSignal boosters can’t work miracles, although, at times, it might seem like they are. They can help improve weak signals, potentially increasing the coverage area when you’re in areas of marginal signal coverage, and their improved quality signals often translate to dramatically faster data speeds. If you’re unaware of any limitations or challenges with your phone, then there’s no point in getting one. But if your phone is often dropping calls, and if your data speeds are terribly slow, you should first use a signal measurement app to see if you have good or poor signal strength. If the signal strength is good, then it is unlikely a booster will help. If it is poor, a booster might dramatically improve your connection. Several different companies manufacture cell phone signal boosters. Wilson Electronics is a well respected American company and we have tested one of their weBoost units, reviewed here. We can’t speak for other brands, but you do have choices, including SolidRF and SureCall. If/when choosing a signal boosting unit, make sure it supports the wireless network and frequency bands that your phone supports.
