The Internet of Things (IoT) is expanding all around us. Soon, even Starbucks coffee cups will have a role to play in this connected world, says Joakim Jardenberg, a senior advisor on the Internet. The winners will be those who act fast and find new ways to define and apply digital solutions. https://futurelab.assaabloy.com/en/redefining-the-digital-world/

The future is here, and getting personal. With technology seemingly advancing at the speed of light, it may only be a matter of time before much more advanced wearable gadgets turn mainstream. But what defines wearable technology and which are the most common application areas today? And why on earth are all these devices hitting the market right now? The arrival of new sensors and low-power radio chips has something to do with it. https://futurelab.assaabloy.com/en/why-gadgets-have-never-been-closer-at-hand/

We have reached the third and final part in the Future Lab article series about security ecosystems. This time we investigate important qualities that an ecosystem needs to have in place in order to be successful, but we also look at some of the pitfalls. A business network has to support diversity and is only as strong as its weakest link. Finally we get to hear a cautionary tale from the consumer electronics industry. https://futurelab.assaabloy.com/en/healthy-ecosystems-support-diversity/

In recent years we have seen a multitude of security solutions that claim to be ‘ecosystems’. But what does it take for such an ecosystem to make it in the marketplace? We turned to the experts to find out. https://futurelab.assaabloy.com/en/ecosystems-1/

The Internet of Things is here. This connectivity between inanimate objects sending information to each other is still in its early stages, just becoming a teenager, but it is gaining momentum. https://futurelab.assaabloy.com/en/internet-of-things/

Axis Communications has been making network cameras using the Internet Protocol (IP) for nine years, and, according to Johan Lembre, Vice-President, Product Management, the development emerged from their core competence in network connectivity. https://futurelab.assaabloy.com/en/simplifying-business-with-open-standards/

The new Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology lets networked devices like surveillance cameras and other security equipment receive power and communication over the same cable. How does it work? What are the benefits? https://futurelab.assaabloy.com/en/one-cable-does-it-all/

Despite its highly competitive environment, the automotive industry is set to cooperate and establish an open standard for electrical and electronics architecture. This is one example of a generic trend seen in many industries and we think it will soon be seen in security too. https://futurelab.assaabloy.com/en/the-benefits-of-commonality/

Historically, access control systems have been anything but open. Early electronic access control systems were custom-built by independent entrepreneurs. It could take up to 16 weeks to order new cards. In 1996 the Wiegand Reader Interface became the first interoperability to access control systems. But it is still a long way to go for the security industry, especially for smart cards. https://futurelab.assaabloy.com/en/the-value-and-importance-of-open-and-interoperable-access-control-products/
