The growing complexity of our electronic society and the related expansion of IoT and cloud solutions mean an increased burden on the developer to ensure optimal functionality in a wireless ecosystem. We can simulate everything exactly, but when it comes to that analog interface between the system and reality, you must be very careful because sometimes things don't behave in the analog realm as they’re predicted.
Even with tools like artificial intelligence, which many use for design now, nothing can be truly predicted for real-world performance. Wireless is an area that's become more and more complex because we need greater cloud functionality in all our systems, and we want them smaller, cheaper, and faster, just like everything else.
In this podcast, we talk to Dermot O'Shea, CEO of Taoglas, about the state of the cloud and IoT, and the challenges in developing products to operate well within it.
An Army veteran, Alix Paultre was a signals intelligence soldier on the East/West German border in the early ‘80s, and eventually wound up helping launch and run a publication on consumer electronics for the US military stationed in Europe. Alix first began in this industry in 1998 at Electronic Products magazine, and since then has worked for a variety of publications in the embedded electronic engineering space. Alix currently lives in Wiesbaden, Germany.
