Arrow Electronics and ROOQ team to innovate sports tracking

ROOQ Boxing technology delivers sophisticated performance data via sensors, app and online portal.

Global technology solutions provider Arrow Electronics and ROOQ, an innovator in sports measurement and analytics technology, have teamed up to create the ROOQ BOX, a sensor technology that enables boxers to monitor and review their performance using data that was previously only available under laboratory conditions.

ROOQ BOX comprises a pair of sensors worn within a strap on each wrist. The sensors record the movements made during boxing activity. The data is then analysed in the accompanying ROOQ App and cloud using machine learning algorithms to provide a precise record of the session. Using this information, boxers and trainers can create a detailed picture of the training session including punch count, punch speeds, variability and punch force. The algorithm has been trained to identify eight different types of punches and to automatically categorize these while filtering out … Read the rest

Digital Matter Announces IoT Asset Tracking Support for LoRaWAN® band AS923-4 for Use in Israel

Support for AS923-4 enables new low-power asset tracking applications across Israel.

Digital Matter, a global leader in GPS and IoT hardware development, today announced the latest updates to its LoRaWAN® radio stack including support for the AS923-4 region, which was recently authorized for LoRaWAN device use in Israel.

According to the LoRa Alliance®, until recently, “authorizations in Israel were for trials, with several cities in Israel conducting pilot network deployments. This new spectrum allocation provides certainty and confidence to the Israeli market that full commercial LoRaWAN deployments are open for business.”

“We developed our own LoRaWAN stack, optimized specifically for low-power operations, low latency, and global adaptability,” says Ken Everett, CEO and Founder, Digital Matter.

“Robust and flexible, owning our own stack means we are also well-positioned to adapt very quickly to updates to the LoRaWAN standard, as demonstrated by how rapidly we were able to support the new

How Zero-Trust Should be Expanded to Include your Embedded Devices/IoT

How Zero-Trust Should be Expanded to Include your Embedded Devices/IoT

By Chris Rouland, Founder and CEO of Phosphorus.

Earlier this year, Ubiquiti, a Silicon Valley-based IoT device maker, disclosed that it had been hacked. Customer account credentials were exposed which allowed hackers to gain full access to all application logs, databases, user database credentials and information required to forge single sign-on (SSO) cookies. This level of access would allow the attackers to remotely authenticate to countless Ubiquiti cloud-based devices, putting customers’ devices, such as routers, network video recorders and security cameras, deployed in corporations and homes around the world at risk.

With an international presence in 200 countries and more than 85 million devices deployed, Ubiquiti had a colossal challenge on its plate. Once the vulnerabilities were identified and credentials were changed, customers were encouraged to reset passwords and implement two-factor authentication.

Security veteran, Brain Krebs recommended that all Ubiquiti customers change the passwords on any devices that haven’t been … Read the rest
