Anti-interference Capability of ClairGeo-M Wireless Magnetic Vehicle Detectors   The primary sources of electromagnetic interference at the site of geomagnetic detector usage include urban public wireless Wi-Fi signals, 2G, 3G, and 4G wireless communication networks, GPS, and IoT devices. To counter these interference sources, ClairGeo-M employs the following four technical measures to achieve an optimal anti-interference solution:   🚀 Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) to suppress in-band interference - Transmit signals in a broadcast format within the specific transmission frequency of the device. - Before spatial transmission of user data, a "spreading code" is attached to achieve spread spectrum transmission. - The receiver eliminates interference during the demodulation process. Noise signals are simultaneously removed during the extraction of the spreading code and extraction of the valid signal. 🚀 Effective suppression of 100% of out-of-band interference - Adding a shielding cover - Increasing the rectangular coefficient of the filter - Enhancing the frequency-selective capability of the antenna - Improving the receiver's anti-blocking capability 🚀 Dual-channel communication technology - While individual channel may experience strong interference signals and losing vehicles for interference, system will shift to secondary channel for data transmission. 🚀 System networking technology - Introducing the concept of time slots to reduce transmission time and mitigate the probability of interference - Pre-coding intersection lock-in technology to ensure the accuracy of transmission - Using directional antennas for transmission, constructing angles reasonably to reduce the strength of interference signals   For more information: https://lnkd.in/ga5C6XzX  

Fiber optics has revolutionized the telecommunications industry with its unparalleled efficiency and speed. One of the key innovations lies in its ability to transmit data using light signals through hair-thin strands of glass or plastic fibers. Unlike traditional copper cables, fiber optics can carry a significantly larger amount of data over longer distances without signal degradation. This advancement has led to the development of high-speed internet connections, enabling seamless streaming of high-definition videos, real-time online gaming, and lightning-fast downloads. Another remarkable innovation in fiber optics is its immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio-frequency interference (RFI). Unlike copper cables, which are susceptible to interference from nearby electrical devices and power lines, fiber optics maintain signal integrity even in the presence of such disturbances. This makes fiber optics ideal for environments with high levels of electromagnetic interference, such as industrial facilities and urban areas with dense electrical infrastructure. Furthermore, the continuous advancement of fiber optic technology has led to the development of new transmission techniques such as wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) and dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM). These techniques allow multiple signals to be transmitted simultaneously over a single fiber optic cable by utilizing different wavelengths of light. As a result, the bandwidth capacity of fiber optic networks has exponentially increased, paving the way for next-generation telecommunications services, including 5G networks, cloud computing, and the Internet of Things (IoT). Overall, fiber optics continues to push the boundaries of what's possible in telecommunications, driving innovation and transforming the way we connect and communicate.

📄 Featured Article, CommIT (Communication and Information Technology) Journal 📄 Simulating Free-Space Optical Communications to Support a Li-Fi Access Network in a Smart City Concept Abstract Smart city development has grown rapidly in the decades since 4G and 5G technologies have been released. Moreover, a highly reliable network is required to support the Internet of Things (IoT) and mobile access within a city. Light Fidelity (Li-Fi) technology can provide huge bitrate transmission and high-speed communications. In the research, a backbone based on Free-Space Optical (FSO) communication (FSO) is designed through simulation to provide a Li-Fi access network with a high capacity data rate. The originality of the proposed method is the implementation of double filtering techniques, which gives an advantage when forwarding the signal to a node and improves the quality of the signal received by the Li-Fi. The FSO as the Optical Relaying Network (ORN) is designed with a configuration of 12 channels of Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) amplified by optical amplifiers in the transmitter and receiver. The signal output is filtered by a Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) and a Gaussian filter. In the simulation, the ORN has node spacing in the range of 500 m to 2,000 m. Then, the data transmission rate at 120 Gbps is provided by the implementation of DWDM channels to serve as an access network. From the simulation, the FSO backbone can optimally deliver highly reliable Li-Fi access networks. When the nodes are spaced in a 500–2,000 m range, the Bit-Error-Rate (BER) performance is produced at the order of 10−6. Read full article: https://lnkd.in/g3X_jnX2
