Adaptive IoT Gateway is an indigenous communication platform developed in Pakistan to overcome the limitations of traditional gateway solutions, which are often costly to deploy, difficult to adapt across diverse environments, and prone to inconsistent performance. These challenges become particularly critical in large-scale deployments such as smart cities, agriculture, and remote monitoring, where stable connectivity,…
The construction industry has a large environmental footprint due to its heavy use of natural materials and the pollution caused by construction and manufacturing activities. When old buildings are torn down, a huge amount of waste is produced—known as construction and demolition waste (CDW). This type of waste makes up over one-third of all the…
In an era defined by rapid technological progress and the ever-growing ambitions of artificial intelligence (AI), researchers worldwide are striving to replicate the remarkable functionalism of the human brain. The limitations of traditional Von Neumann computing architecture, characterized by the separation of memory and processing units, have become increasingly apparent in this quest. Neuromorphic computing,…
Background: Why Data Security Matters in 6G People need faster, safer, and more reliable ways to send and receive data in 6G. Every day, we use smart devices, video calls, and online apps that require a strong internet. Older networks can’t always handle this. That’s why new smart networks are being used; they can find…
