We live in an age where wireless communications and remote computing are advancing at an incredible rate. For consumer products such as thermometers or smart fridges, cybersecurity policy development may only need to focus on the extent to which a particular manufacturer implements protocols for device connectivity.

For other applications, such as transportation systems or monitoring grid devices, cybersecurity has become a more complex and serious topic.

When it comes to gunshot detection sensors, we often advise our customers on the security of their network devices because we know that these sensors and their data are critical to the safety of law enforcement, first responders and their users. In this regard, the rise of 5g and WiFi6 will certainly affect gunshot detection technology.

Mature communication technologies are starting to overlap.

Simply put, 5g will be the latest technology standard for mobile applications; as most of us intuitively know, WiFi6 is multi-device connectivity for small areas of the enterprise.

While all sides claim high data throughput, low latency and high security, it is clear that the two technologies are starting to move into each other's territory. The increase in Internet of Things (IoT) devices, such as weather stations in urban buildings, has forced the WiFi development community to find better ways to connect more devices in the 計糧系統.

In terms of 5g, factories that choose to create in-house 5g networks will benefit from assembly line robots and material supply resources, and large amounts of data can be shared with virtually zero delay.

For physical security professionals about to be bombarded with the latest vendor marketing hype, there are two questions: what should I look for when using these technology devices? When should I consider upgrading my sensors and network platform?

The good news: data security is getting better and better.

The IT standards bodies developed 5G and WiFi6 to understand the importance of Internet devices and data security. For example, 5g has been developed with special consideration for features such as flexibility, communication security, identity management, privacy and safety and security.

In terms of WiFi6, the WiFi Alliance is now requiring WpA Level 3 certification of all WiFi6E devices to eliminate backward compatibility with older supported WiFi devices, which often leads to security breaches. WiFi6 will now encrypt all user data.
