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. This is a tremendous development, but it also brings with it certain risks. How easy is it to hack these devices and what information can be exposed as a result? This is a question that rightly concerns developers and scientists.
Global Electronics B.V. is committed to informing companies and individuals about this by organizing knowledge sessions on cybersecurity and by producing high-end security hardware that ensures your IoT devices can communicate securely. In this way, we contribute to a safer world in which your personal data cannot be easily accessed by third parties.
How is IoT driving new PCBA approaches?
The PCBA world is innovating rapidly to meet consumer demands. People are increasingly interested in devices that are smaller but process information faster, enabling new approaches to PCBA design. To ensure that devices are both smaller and connect to the IoT, there is greater demand for flex and high-density interconnect (HDI) printed circuit boards.
Flex circuit boards are ideal for fitness trackers and other small devices because more components can be added to a smaller space. The use of flexible circuit boards simplifies complicated wiring and provides additional resistance 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.
