“…"Cellular Internet of Things: From Massive Deployments to Critical 5G Applications, Second Edition, gives insights into the recent and rapid work performed by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) and the Multefire Alliance (MFA) to develop systems for the Cellular IoT. Beyond the technologies, readers will learn what the mMTC and cMTC market segments look like, deployment options and expected performance in terms of system capacity, expected battery lifetime, data throughput, access delay time and device cost, regulations for operation in unlicensed frequency bands, and how they impact system design and performance. …”

“…When discussing cyber investigation, many people often think about high-tech crimes like ransomware, DDoS, or BEC. However, it extends beyond these examples, as it also includes traditional crimes such as theft, fraud, or assault, which can leave behind digital evidence that can be collected and analyzed. …”
