Telecom infrastructures are of vital importance to society. More and more applications depend on well-functioning, reliable and always available telecom services. The Dutch Radiocommunications Agency (Agentschap Telecom) oversees these in the Netherlands. The emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications has not only fundamentally changed the nature of the telecom sector …
In 2020 Dialogic finished a study on how the operation of smart electricity meters can be guaranteed after November 17, 2024. On that date, the current permit for the use of the Dutch 450-470 MHz PAMR band (Public Access Mobile Radio) will expire. This spectrum is used to provide the …
This took me a while to figure out, so I’m putting this here to save someone some time! I wanted to cross-compile Rust programs on my Mac to run on a Raspberry Pi (Zero in this case, but that shouldn’t matter much). The easiest way to do this is as …
The Humaneyes Vuze XR is a 2D360 and 3D180 camera in one. It can be controlled over Wi-Fi through an app from iOS or Android. It allows live streaming to Facebook and YouTube (although it seems the iOS app is pending some verification at YouTube) and allows streaming to arbitrary …
Over the fast few years I have invested great amounts of time in learning and using various programming languages. Starting out (around 1995!) in a 4GL called OMNIS (apparently still around) I quickly learned Java (from the Dummies book actually) and PHP. With Java and PHP (around 2003), I had …
Yesterday, the municipality of Amsterdam officially launched its initiative for public, secure Wi-Fi hot spots basic on public roaming. Over the course of 2019 I have (through Dialogic) been involved in this project, first in designing the pilot project, and subsequently in executing it. Even with highly capable 4G mobile …
For the Research and Documentation Centre (WODC) of the Dutch Ministry of Justice and Security, I led a project at Dialogic researching possibilities for improving identification on the internet on the basis of IP addresses. When a criminal offence is committed, but the offender is not caught in the act, …
In the previous post, we saw that it is possible to create programs that really only depend on the Linux kernel in order to run. Yet, we still needed some sort of Linux distribution such as Raspbian on our Raspberry Pi to actually start this program. How can we get …
For our Escape Box project, we had to come up with some kind of way to control all the various puzzles – the lights, buttons, servos, displays all need to be controlled somehow. Luckily there are various solutions available: the Arduino, the ESP8266, and the Raspberry Pi are all available …
For Dialogic, I developed a user friendly environment for machine learning. The tools, which are available online through diasli.de, allow users to quickly set up image classifiers, text classifiers as well as generic machine learning models using custom features and outputs. Supported features: Image classification: transfer learn image classifiers using …
