Tuya platform

The Tuya platform combines the collaborative capabilities of multiple devices from different manufacturers in a single app and works on a cloud basis. This makes it possible to skip the fixed IP router and only need one app – Tuya Smart – to manage all the equipment, which can be used via the mobile network from anywhere.

Types of antenna for 2.4GHz and 5GHz data transmission

Any device, to transmit and receive radio waves, must be fitted with an antenna. Many modern devices have a built-in antenna (e.g. mobile phones). Several antenna types are currently available. They are also classified in different ways.

UDP protocol

UDP, or User Datagram Protocol, is a transport layer communication protocol in the OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model. Unlike TCP (Transmission Control Protocol), UDP is a connectionless protocol, meaning that it does not maintain a reliable connection between sender and receiver.

Uncooled VOx Microbolometer

A microbolometer is a variation of a bolometer, used in thermal imaging cameras. It is a device, which is, in a very simplified and generalized way, an ordered collection of pixels, which are a kind of thermistors, responding with a change in resistance to changes in the temperature of the observed object. The temperature information is carried by electromagnetic radiation in the infrared range. The microbolometer's electronics make it possible to create a "temperature distribution map," which is then interpreted by a graphics circuit that assigns a different color to each temperature.

Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) - wireless network standard
Wi-Fi 6 or IEEE 802.11ax is a standard that operates in the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, with an enhanced version of Wi-Fi 6E adding the 6GHz band. It is an update of the Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) standard with enhancements for better performance in crowded areas. It provides better spectrum utilization, better power control to avoid interference and enhancements such as 1024-QAM, MIMO and MU-MIMO for faster speeds. See more...
