Designing ultra-rapid DC EV chargers

If electric drivetrains are to replace internal combustion, particularly in larger vehicles, we need more high-speed DC charging capacity. This article examines six of the main design considerations.

Defining security for the EV charging infrastructure

Drivers are demanding easy access to public EV charging points. Providers must meet this demand without sacrificing security for simplicity. Cybercriminals will find any security weaknesses, but the latest standards are here to help.

Predicting the kW sweet spot in EV charge point variants

Do you want AC or DC, fast or slow charging? Manufacturers of Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment need to predict what will be demanded most by consumers, while responding to the requests coming from Charge Point Operators.

Load balancing in the EV charging infrastructure

We all know what it’s like to wait in line to refuel, but what if you must continue waiting after you plug in your EV? Managing multiple charge points in one location is creating some interesting challenges for the EV charging infrastructure.

Can edge controllers bring balance to the Industrial IoT?

Putting more real-time intelligence at the heart of industrial automation is creating a new breed of control technology. Connectivity and control must go hand in hand in the Industrial IoT, but it requires the best of both worlds.

Supporting a service-oriented approach in the IIoT

Your industrial environment is a complex network of devices with varying roles and responsibilities. Bringing all that together requires the application of proven and new technologies. Efforts are underway to make them all work in harmony.

Remote testing gives RF engineers a short-cut to mmWave application development

For RF engineers working on mmWave applications, limited access to hardware and test equipment can mean delays, cost and complexity. Remote testing over a secure internet connection lets engineers jump directly to application development.

How to Turn Your IoT Solution into Recurring Revenue

Companies in almost every industry are investing in Internet of Things (IoT) applications with high hopes of creating new revenue streams. Here's how you can ensure ROI from your deployment.

Spending on design up front can save you from long-term pain

Spending money in the early phase of development may be painful, but problems with quality, production runs and backers can be far more painful.
