To support the expected communication needs of the Internet of Things, IoT, with more than three billion connections by the end of 2020 as predicted by Strategy Analytics, several low power wide area, LPWA, radio technologies are been developed and pushed to the market by the communications industry. The use cases or applications that the IoT will make possible are being widely discussed:...

SD-WAN and security implications –Part 2
In my last blog, I wrote about the origins of SD-WAN and its benefits. However, these advantages are certainly not without their challengers and threats, which all interested companies should consider when analyzing the various options offered by the market. From a security point of view, the main threats arising have to do with the use of unprotected residential broadband networks....
SD-WAN and security implications – Part 1
I have written an article on SD-WAN for Seguritecnia, an online and print magazine that is very present in the private security sector in Spain. In said article, I explained the concept of SD-WAN and the security implications associated to this technology (as befits a magazine that focuses on safety). Given the enormous interest in SD-WAN, I decided to give our blog readers the opportunity of...
Application visualization and control needs
Why has visualization of applications over network become such a critical point? Firstly, the move of IT infrastructure to the cloud means our current understanding of level 3 network traffic (IP) is insufficient to characterize applications transmitting over said network: Application servers had fixed, known IP addresses in traditional data centers, whereas IP addressing in cloud is no longer...
Dismantling the ISDN and POTS networks
How can we help carriers dismantle their ISDN networks easily, economically and above all, transparently? Traditional ISDN and POTS communication networks are now obsolete. Deployments using old technology, the devices making up these networks, etc., have reached, in many cases, the end of their lives. Another influencing factor is that experts and technicians in this field are approaching, or...
Beyond Gigabit Ethernet on the LAN
The coming generation of enterprise Wi-Fi Access Points will allow higher than 1 Gbps sustained payload data rates between the radio interface and the wired network to which they are connected. For this reason, current LAN infrastructure, that is mostly Gigabit Ethernet over CAT5e cabling, will become the bottleneck on the LAN communications. The alternatives to overcome this bottleneck are...
