For the length of human history, technology has played an important role in preventing theft. Before car keys, Henry Ford had to chain his car to a lamppost to avoid anyone with the strength to turn a physical crank from stealing it. Anti-theft technology has moved on significantly since Ford’s day, but so too have the criminals, and it’s not just cars they have in their sights.

Increasing the range of a wireless product is an advantage for virtually every application. Consider, say, a large warehouse with a Bluetooth mesh network to track the location of valuable items. If each device in the network can communicate over longer distances, fewer devices are needed to cover the warehouse volume.

From a simple roof over our heads to a suitable place to work, travel, and shop, we spend so much of our lives indoors that creating the best possible environment is key to human wellbeing. Wireless technology can help.

Urgent action is needed to protect young people's futures and prevent a lost Covid-19 generation. That’s the opinion of former Director-General of the Confederation of British Industry (CBI), Dame Carolyn Fairbairn.

Wireless access control is rapidly becoming a key defense across commercial, industrial, residential, government, and military verticals in an age where security is the top priority for facility managers and safety departments. The use of wireless technology enables systems that determine who can and can’t go into restricted areas to become far more sophisticated and effective.

Technology described as the ‘future of wireless sound’ allows engineers to enhance the sound quality and power consumption of wireless audio products

Since the times of Roman aqueducts, getting running water to people's homes has always been a feat of human ingenuity. Still, water leakage is a significant challenge. Now, unobtrusive IoT monitoring devices promise simpler and quicker leak detection.

It's been well over a decade since the consumer love affair with connected wearables first took hold. In the intervening years, billions of us have bought a device that today can monitor our activity, urge us to exercise, and congratulate us when we do, and field our calls and messages.

The kitchen has long been the heart of the home and the lifeblood of the food and hospitality sector. Now, as wireless technology gives rise to the smart kitchen, amateur and professional chefs are eschewing traditional cooking methods for time-saving and quality-enhancing contemporary operations.

Although the billions of battery-powered wireless IoT sensors connecting tomorrow's world will undoubtedly have an upstream energy impact, research suggests considerable net savings will be realized in the future.
