New features for Panasonic Toughbook computers are a united platform for connecting to and controlling Internet of Things devices in the field. The laptops connect to IoT devices embedded in vehicles, and then connect that data live to the cloud for centralized management. This software simplifies IoT for trucking fleets, standardizing what used to be a chaotic set of ad-hoc systems and making it easier to see insights.

Panasonic Connect North America, Division of Panasonic Corporation of North America, today announced the launch of Tough Command™. The platform transforms in...

The benefits of massive, always-online cloud services are many- With Microsoft Office all your work needs are accessible and convenient, and Amazon Web Services provides the backbone for hundreds of major websites and services- But the cloud is not invulnerable, and single points of failure can be dangerous.

Last Friday, I was waiting on a Microsoft Teams call for a customer to join. She messaged with a Google Meet link, and once we were on the call she explained that Microsoft was experiencing an outage and she wasn’t able to connect. The outage came just a week after another major outage, both by [....

Mesh-networked IoT sensors across vulnerable bands of forest could detect and alert emergency responders to fires faster than ever before. These devices don’t need SIM cards- They connect to each other in a loose net, sending information onwards as long they are spread out enough along the area being monitored.

A new solar-powered, AI-driven IoT network for forests has been launched to connect elements of an autonomous wildfire response system.

You can locate this new credit card when it's lost, much like a phone. A chip in the card connects to nearby Samsung devices with Bluetooth to determine its location. This can tell you where you left it, letting you know if it's simply lost or likely stolen.

Samsung has joined hands with KB Kookmin Card and American Express (AMEX) to launch an IoT-capable credit card on September 19 in South Korea. These three companies have brought in their expertise for the development of this IoT credit card that provides features such as location tracing based on th...
