Security in Short Range Wireless Solutions and Mesh Networks

There has been an explosion in the use of Short Range Wireless Solutions in recent years, driven principally by the arrival and development of the Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) standard. Whilst plenty of short range wireless solutions existed previously, their uptake was limited. This was either because they focussed on narrow niches such as Zigbee or ANT or were ill-suited to battery powered or intermittent use such as Bluetooth “classic”. BLE fulfilled the original general “cable replacement” objectives of the original Bluetooth standard. With BLE quickly becoming natively available on phones, laptops and tablets, there was a ready-made market of devices to connect to.

Multiprotocol Miniature Wireless Integration

There are two basic approaches to designing a wireless system – build the system from the ground up, with an RF chip, passives, filters, and connect an antenna, or use a wireless module that integrates all of these elements into a complete system.

Integrating RF & IoT technologies into the design of smart PPE wearables to improve workplace safety

The management of workplace health and safety risks in the Covid-19 era has highlighted the importance of Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) for workers across industries including healthcare. Designers are now integrating technology, and often wireless solutions into equipment to create smart PPE. However, RF devices worn close to the body pose challenges, which Nick Wood, Sales & Marketing Director at RF circuit miniaturisation, system-in-package & antenna-in-package expert, Insight SiP reviews here…

Evolution of Bluetooth and other Short-Range Radio technologies

Bluetooth has existed for over 30 years. Zigbee nearly as long.  Other short-range radio technologies such as ANT+ and Thread are more recent. Poor interoperability in real world devices held back early Bluetooth adoption. The original vision of a general cable replacement technology was never realised due to excessive power consumption built into the standard. The need to frequently recharge devices undermined the utility of wireless connections and Bluetooth became an audio streaming technology. Zigbee found a niche in industrial applications and ANT+ in sports.  Evolution was slow until 10 years ago.

Securing systems and data in the domain of IOT

The explosion of the Internet of Things (IOT) has led to a proliferation of connected devices. These vary from small sensor devices, medical wearables, and connecting existing electronic industrial and consumer equipment. Many of these are connected ultimately to the internet and use one or more wireless channels.

This opens up many interesting possibilities to manage systems and assets more efficiently, but at the same time, such connections become a potential channel for malign attacks. Here we look at the core issues in securing such systems.

By Nick Wood, Sales & Marketing Director, Insight SiP – experts in RF circuit miniaturization, System-in-Package and Antenna-in-Package.
