At a recent industry conference, one of the guest speakers stated that his company dealt with 84 different security vendors, which was not altogether surprising. Amid the Digital Transformation, many companies are adding service upon service, which can become very difficult to monitor and manage. While many of these security tools are useful and necessary, even more important is ensuring the network’s… Read More…
Regarding public safety, advanced connectivity is more than a convenience – it’s a necessity. As our world becomes more interconnected and – unfortunately, more dangerous – police vehicles and emergency response teams require resilient, always-on connectivity to ensure the safety of officers in the field and the communities they serve… Read More…
The importance of prioritizing robust health and safety measures while enhancing daily operations within the mining industry cannot be overstated. As the industry evolves, the need for advanced connectivity systems that deliver higher throughputs, lower latencies, and more reliable connections to improve operational efficiency and… Read More…
One client approached USAT with a specific requirement: they wanted to integrate affordable dash cameras into their small service vehicle fleet. After a minor accident left them without vital evidence, they decided to equip their fleet with recording devices to document incidents and, ideally, encourage better driving… Read More…
As our earlier post on router selection highlighted, selecting the ideal device goes beyond checking boxes on a spec sheet. With precise requirements across various use cases, it’s important to consider how each device in contention will align with current user expectations, existing infrastructure, and future scalability… Read More…
A utility client approached USAT for assistance in upgrading their network infrastructure to connect SCADA devices at strategic points in their distribution network, including key substations. Their primary objective was to procure, provision, and deploy hundreds of cellular routers across their urban infrastructure to… Read More…
In the industrial IoT and M2M communications field, questions often arise about the compatibility of custom applications with cellular devices, especially those lacking explicit container support and robust processing capabilities. These questions are so common because running embedded applications on devices with limited memory and processing power is feasible… Read More…
Selecting the correct cellular devices for your use case is often more complicated than simply ticking boxes on a checklist – it’s a nuanced journey where specific needs must seamlessly align with the available options. While data sheets and technical specifications often provide a foundation, approximately 5-10% of… Read More…
The seamless integration of software applications into hardware devices is not just an advantage but a necessity. Embedded applications, the silent powerhouses behind smart devices, industrial machines, and IoT solutions, are pivotal in enhancing functionality, efficiency, and user experience. Embedded app… Read More…
“Containers” refer to the capability of a device to utilize lightweight, portable software packages. Specifically developed for edge computing, newer industrial cellular routers come equipped with the storage and processing power needed to run a piece of software – including the code, a runtime, libraries, environment… Read More…
