When examining Flame, the most sophisticated malware that has appeared to date, investigators discovered an interesting feature: Flame can steal and transmit data from computers that have no Internet connections. Mike Fahrion, Director of Product Management at B&B Electronics, looks in depth at what this could mean for wireless technology, in this article from ES Design magazine.

B&B Electronics today launched its first 802.11 b/g* WiFi access point to provide M2M equipment with wireless networking capabilities. This industrial-grade wireless access point is the first fruit of B&B’s October 2011 acquisition of Quatech, whose Airborne™ wireless networking devices feature WiFi connectivity technology to network-enable industrial M2M devices.

B&B Electronics has deepened its wireless solution portfolio with the acquisition of Conel s.r.o. of the Czech Republic. Conel is a well-established market leader in reliable and secure wireless communications routers, gateways and devices that connect cellular networks to Ethernet, serial and other data networks.
