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.
