Internet of Things (IoT)
Impact of being able to send more data
The Internet of Things (IoT) is here to stay. It is expected that by 2020, more than 31 billion devices worldwide will be connected to the internet in one way or another. That is a tremendous development, but it also comes with certain risks. How easy is it to hack these devices, and what information could be exposed as a result? This is a question that rightly concerns developers and scientists.
Global Electronics B.V. is dedicated to educating businesses and individuals on this topic by organizing cybersecurity awareness sessions and by manufacturing high-end security hardware that ensures your IoT devices can communicate securely. In this way, we contribute to a safer world where your personal data cannot be easily accessed by third parties.
How is IoT driving new approaches to PCBA?
The PCBA industry is rapidly innovating to meet consumer demands. People are increasingly interested in devices that are smaller yet process information faster, which is opening the door to new approaches in PCBA design. To ensure that devices are both smaller and compatible with the IoT, there is growing demand for flexible and high-density interconnect (HDI) printed circuit boards.
Flexible printed circuit boards are ideal for fitness trackers and other small devices, as they allow more components to be added to a smaller space. The use of flexible printed circuit boards simplifies complex wiring and provides additional durability when exposed to harsh conditions. As board real estate decreases and routing density increases, HDI techniques such as blind and buried vias are used to enable complex routing. HDI design approaches have also led to lower power consumption and higher performance, making them ideal for IoT devices.
