Growing mobile data traffic as we work from home, and rising business demand to connect devices in the Internet of Things are two upsides for an industry hit hard by the pandemic. But… well, you knew there had to be a ‘but’. One downside is rising fraud. It cost communication service providers US$28.3 billion according to the last CFCA global survey in 2019. BICS’ Mikael Schachne and Damion Rose, our guests on the latest Tech Trends Podcast tell us fraud is rising and they’re well placed to know. Can Machine Learning cut the risk? Jeremy Cowan and George Malim find out.

Growing Population and Food Demands (Sponsored News) The United Nations predicts that the world population will continue to increase to 9.7 billion by 2050. The surge in population has put tremendous pressure on the agricultural industry as it requires higher productivity to meet the needs of population growth. The Food and Agriculture Organization estimates that a 70% incremental food production is necessary to meet the projected population demands by 2050.

In the time of social distancing and pandemic restrictions, technology has become more important than ever to maintain our working productivity and social bonds. In a virtual first, the annual AI+IoT Business Conference (ABC) hosted by the AI+IoT Intelligent Business Alliance will focus on the impact of IoT for the Southeast Asian region.
The first virtual Southeast Asia ABC kicked off today for a whole month, which brings together key major industry organizations including Tuya Smart, a leading global AIoT platform, and other leading partners such as the Singapore Manufacturing Federation, Singapore Industrial Automation Association, Asia Pacific Assistive Robotics Association, Asia IoT, GSMA, and famous brands in Southeast Asia to share cutting-edge insights on all things IoT-specific in Southeast Asia.
Themed on “Revive in Growth – Inspired by Intelligence”, the inaugural virtual AIBC aims to harness AIoT for transforming businesses in Southeast Asia, after the pandemic. The event consists of a series of fireside chats and TED-style talks by esteemed companies and innovators.
“This (pandemic) will be the start when young people begin to learn more about the smart home,” Mr. Ryan, CEO from Indonesian brand Bardi Smart Home commented. “And we can see the smart home market is growing rapidly here right now, which is a good sign.”
Mr. Vincent Chew, Group Managing Director of Pensonic, one of the leading electrical household appliances brand in Malaysia, said, “Along the way with wider coverage of internet and lower cost of devices, more homes will be connected where devices shall work around our movement and environment.”
Due to travel restrictions and home isolation because of the pandemic, the demand for various entertainment and interaction on the Internet has increased in Thailand, where Internet products have become quite popular. Xie Chongtong, President of Thailand’s home security and CCTV brand Watashi said, “IoT innovation is driven by increasing demands of connection scenarios, which will become more and more automated and intelligent.”
Hosted by AI+IoT Intelligent Business Alliance, the AI+IoT Business Conference has garnered over 200 leading companies, 400 opinion leaders, 100 renowned investors and 30,000 pioneers of intelligent business exchange knowledge and ideas. The 2020 AI+IoT Business Conference Online – Southeast Asia is the first of the regional event instead of global, and the first ever with focus in the SEA region. Slated to grow by 12% annually, the regional IoT market will be worth over 151 billion dollars by 2024 (Marketsandmarkets).
Jeff Immelt, Former Chairman and CEO of GE, Venture Partner of NEA, Chairman of Tuya US said, “the event is a major initiative that involves important key industry players, who will move forward the development of IoT, and shift the entire smart home landscape in Southeast Asia and give great momentum to its growth”.

Sponsored News: Plug and play long range connectivity devices for connecting billions of legacy sensors
HONG KONG AND STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN – 2020-03-04. Synap Technologies Ltd. today announced a Kickstarter campaign offering the Synap BR100 modem and X10 mini data collector IoT communication devices. These novel multi-hop LoRa® based modem devices allow instant long-range connectivity for legacy digital sensors. No configuration or programming knowledge is needed.
Roll-out of IoT sensor networks is riddled by problems: The need for specialist training in wireless networking, complicated hardware integration between sensors and radio chips, and that sensors often sit in radio blind spots.
To take care of this, Synap Technologies has developed the BR100 LoRa modem that you can just connect sensors to, plug-and-play. Sensors communicate with BR100 modems over a standard RS485 connection. The wireless network is automatic and private, based on a unique Network ID. Coverage range can easily be extended as BR100 can be turned into a repeater.
“With this little modem you transform whatever digital sensors you want into modern IoT devices.”, says Synap CEO Frank Tsui. “And it is completely hassle-free to get your own IoT sensor network up.”
The BR100 modems can be operated in a standalone network without Internet connection. An optional X10 mini Data Collector can be added for connecting the network to a centralised cloud controller and data download service. Every transmitted data packet is protected by AES 256-bit encryption with dynamic key and SHA-256-bit hashing for data integrity.
Synap Wireless IoT devices are available worldwide in versions for both the 868 and 915 MHz licence-free radio bands.
To learn more and get the next sensor project up and running without hassle, please visit the Kickstarter campaign at https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/synap/lora-modem-for-legacy-sensors

Today, increasing numbers of home appliances are controlled remotely. Thanks to the speedy growth of the Internet of Things, we can manage our speakers, thermostats, ovens, and even cars, from anywhere in the world. But sometimes, such networks lack security.
VPNs are effective tools that will safeguard any IoT system. Learn about the best solutions on Cooltechzone, which offers useful tips and tricks for ultimate protection. Implementation of a virtual private network allows companies to create a secure environment for the transfer of data between their data centers and the numerous devices.
How It Works
The tech infrastructure supporting the system is interconnected with IoT devices, which form a unified private network. The latter makes all communication between the two primary system elements secure. Today, when hacking is rampant and data leaks are making headlines, IoT security is not an issue to overlook.
Data traffic is encrypted and tunneled over the Internet, eventually reaching a server within the private network. This secure tunnel essentially extends the private network over a public one via a special link. VPN is what enhances public networks with private network connectivity.
Taking advantage of a reliable VPN, you will make all communications with the linked devices secure. For this purpose, you are provided with a special Access Server, which forms the basis of your private IOT network, now impenetrable to external attacks. Any attempts at eavesdropping on the transmitted data are successfully averted.
There’s More
And this is only one of the many benefits of VPN. These systems are indispensable for any company and individual today. Aside from IoT architecture providers, they protect their customers from data leaks and hacking. Shielding users from all kinds of malicious third-party interferences, VPNs make the world wide web a safe environment.
