Microsoft Positions Itself for The IoT future with “Azure Sphere”
Microsoft’s highly-secured end-to-end solution for connected microcontroller-powered devices. Azure Sphere is a new technology to protect the processors that power smart appliances, connected toys, and other gadgets. Azure Sphere is powered in large part by Linux, a free operating system that Microsoft once viewed as a major threat. It’s the first time ever that Microsoft has made Linux part of a product offering.
It will be made available to actual chip manufacturers for free.
The chip/OS combo will be integrated with an Azure Sphere cloud security service, which will keep the devices up to date with security patches for 10 years or longer.
Could NanoCrystals provide free power for the world?
Nikola Tesla is a name of genius, the radical inventor who created the alternating current system that has powered the world over the last century. But Tesla himself said his greatest mistake was in having TWO ideas of profound genius. He made electrical systems possible, but he didn’t count on the greed of man and lust for control. While Edison loved his AC/DC system to make electricity practical, the idea people would not need corporations to access that electricity made Tesla a threat that had to be destroyed. And that is just what happened.
“WattUp Mid Field transmitter can deliver power via radio frequency (RF) energy to WattUp-enabled electronic devices at a distance of up to three feet. As the only technology that can do both contact-based and non-contact-based wireless charging, as well as charge multiple devices at once, WattUp is highly scalable and automatically charges devices, as needed, until they are topped off. While older charging technologies allow for only contact-based charging, Energous is the only company to achieve Wireless Charging 2.0 to-date, which is the ability to charge devices both at contact (including fast charging large battery devices such as smartphones and tablets), as well as power-at-a-distance. Similar to WiFi, the WattUp ecosystem ensures interoperability between receivers and transmitters, regardless of the manufacturer, making the entire ecosystem flexible and accessible for consumers and manufacturing partners….
“This represents the first time FCC equipment certification has been awarded to any device that charges wirelessly at a distance, and operates under Part 18 of the FCC’s rules. The FCC’s Part 18 rules permit higher-power operations than are permitted under the Part 15 rules that have been used to approve other at a distance charging devices.”
Over the next few years, millions of lights will be converted to LED technology and with an average lifespan of more than 10 years, your choice of luminaires carries a long-lasting impact. Luminaires and devices enabled with Atrius from Acuity Brands lay the track for a powerful, connected infrastructure, making it the ideal platform to enable the Internet of Things (IoT).

The Equitable Internet Initiative (EII) will accelerate outreach, training and wireless broadband Internet sharing on the neighborhood level in Detroit. The program’s mission is to ensure that more Detroit residents have the ability to leverage online access and digital technology for social and economic development.
Their Story
DCTP grew out of Allied Media Projects’ (AMP) nine year track record of digital media education and community technology building in Detroit.
In 2012, Allied Media Projects partnered with the Open Technology Institute of the New America Foundation to create the Digital Stewards Program, which trains neighborhood leaders in designing and deploying community wireless networks with a commitment to the Detroit Digital Justice Principles, emphasizing access, participation, common ownership, and healthy communities.
The following year, three community wireless networks were built and prototyped in five Detroit neighborhoods. To date, DCTP has implemented the Digital Stewards training with leaders from seven Detroit neighborhoods and has supported 11 community groups internationally to adopt and modify the training for their own contexts.
The Digital Stewards Program led to the formation of the Detroit Community Technology Project in 2014. DCTP was developed to encompass broader community technology education and organizing work and to share best practices.
Google’s parent company, Alphabet, is officially building a futuristic mini-city along a 12-acre section of Toronto’s eastern waterfront.
This is absolutely huge – for the city, for the country, and for the California-based tech giant in its quest to develop high-tech “smart cities” around the world.
This will mark the biggest project tackled by Sidewalk Labs to date, according to Reuters, and the citizens of Toronto are here for it. Sidewalk Labs describes itself as a company that “imagines, designs, tests, and builds urban innovations to help cities meet their biggest challenges.
Today no single city stands as a model for our urban future,” reads the Alphabet division’s website. “Yet our cities rest on the way potential solutions to big urban challenges fit together. So we’re pursuing a large-scale district that can serve as a living laboratory for urban technology — a testbed for coordinated solutions, a foundation for people to build on, and a vision for other cities to follow.
“A 220-page-long document outlining the Alphabet company’s plans for Toronto’s Eastern waterfront was released on Tuesday.
The more than $1 billion development will see the creation of new public spaces, residential and commercial buildings, and advanced infrastructure for Toronto’s thriving tech industry.”The district will become a place for tens of thousands of people to live, work, learn, and play,” reads a press release announcing the project in Toronto. “It will also reflect the cultural diversity and openness of Toronto, and help connect all Torontonians to waterfront beaches, parks, and communities.””Working together with the local community, Sidewalk Toronto aspires to create a place that encourages innovation around energy, waste, and other environmental challenges to protect the planet, A place that is enhanced by digital technology and data without giving up the privacy and security that everyone deserves.”According to The Wall Street Journal, which was first to report on the rumoured closure of this deal earlier in October, the smart city will span 3 million square feet in total.That’s roughly the size of the Empire State Building….
