As industrial systems become more interconnected and data-driven, the need for connectivity solutions that offer superior performance, scalability, and flexibility is growing rapidly. Cervoz, a leading provider of industrial embedded modules, is meeting this demand with an expanding portfolio of innovative, real-world expansion solutions.

Seamless Expansion for Future-Ready Performance
Picture a smart logistics hub handling tens of thousands of packages a day, where Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) operates across vast spaces. In such environments, traditional RJ45 connections may initially suffice—but as operation expand and AMRs navigate distances beyond 100 meters, connectivity becomes prone to signal degradation and industrial interference.

NETGEAR, Inc., a global leader in secure and high-performance networking solutions, is making next-generation Wi-Fi more accessible with the launch of the Nighthawk RS100—its most affordable Wi-Fi 7 router yet. Delivering ultra-fast speeds, robust security, and reliable performance, the RS100 makes it easier than ever for households to upgrade to the latest in wireless technology.

Why Wi-Fi 7 for Households?
As internet speeds surge and more smart devices connect to home networks, households need stronger, faster, and more reliable connectivity—not just for today, but for the future. Wi-Fi 7 delivers smoother streaming, lag-free gaming, and more stable connections across every corner of the home. With speeds up to 2.4x faster than Wi-Fi 6, it supports high-bandwidth activities like 4K/8K streaming, cloud gaming, and AI-powered applications—no buffering, no slowdowns.

Most of you might be familiar with GL.iNet as a manufacturer of cheap travel routers intended to share a hotel Wi-Fi connection with, but the company has expanded to more capable devices over the past couple of years and it's Flint 2 Wi-Fi 6 router has been a popular option, especially as it runs a fork of OpenWRT, but native support for OpenWRT is in the late stages of development. At CES the company was showing its upcoming Flint 3 router—also known as the GL-BE9300—although unfortunately we weren't given any more specs than the company has already shared in terms of what hardware is under the hood, this is as far as we're aware, the first time the Flint 3 has been publicly shown. That said, the model number suggests this should be a tri-band router that will most likely deliver up to 5760 Mbps on the 6 GHz band, 2880 Mbps on the 5 GHz band and finally 574 Mbps on the 2.4 GHz band. This somewhat disappointingly suggests that the router could be limited to a 2x2 antenna configuration on all three bands, if 320 MHz channel width is supported on the 6 GHz band. In terms of announced features, the Flint 3 is said to come with multi-WAN support that can do failover or load balancing, VPN client and server support and at least a pair of 2.5 Gbps LAN/WAN ports carried over from the Flint 2.

Also on display was the Slate 7 or GL-BE3600 which is GL.iNet's first Wi-Fi 7 travel router. This is most likely a 2x2 dual-band 2.4 and 5 GHz router with speeds of up to 2882 Mbps for the 5 GHz band and 688 Mbps for the 2.4 GHz band. It too will offer VPN support and this is GL.iNet's first small form factor router with dual 2.5 Gbps ports. It is powered via a 12 Volt USB-C port and it has a USB 3.0 that can most likely be used for data sharing or a USB data dongle. The Slate 7 also appears to have a small LCD around the front that can generate QR codes to make it easier to connect to it. Finally GL.iNet showed off a new product range with the Comet—or GL-RM1 if you prefer—which the company refers to as an "open-source remote KVM". This connects to your PC or laptop via HDMI and USB to enable the KVM part and then the Ethernet port of the device is connected to your network to allow you to remotely access the computer. This is being touted as failsafe means of being able to access a system remotely, be it a PC, server or any other device with and HDMI port, although some precautions would have to be taken against the system losing power. It's a neat solution that isn't easy to DIY and hopefully it'll be priced reasonably, like most of GL.iNets products. All three products are expected to launch later this year.

NVIDIA uploaded a new video on its GeForce YouTube channel called "GeForce LAN 50 Missions and Rewards" that not only features the objective of its upcoming LAN party but also a teaser of one of the GeForce RTX 50 series "Blackwell" GPUs. Pictured below, NVIDIA purposely left it extremely dark to hide as much information as possible. However, we uncovered what was hiding in the dark PC enclosure thanks to some image processing. From the picture alone, we cannot determine what possible SKU this would represent. Potential candidates include the GeForce RTX 5090 or 5080, which are rumored to appear first at the CES launch event, with NVIDIA's CEO Jensen Huang taking the stage and unveiling details about the new GPU generation.

In regards to the design itself, the GPU features a two-fan configuration, meaning that the founder's edition has undergone a redesign from the traditional push/pull cooler design. If this is only a render, time will tell. However, we look forward to seeing more leaks, details, and hints just like NVIDIA left.
