With the festive season approaching, homes around the world are preparing for a flurry of online orders, with one unlikely device playing an important role: the doorbell. With millions of parcels expected on doorsteps from dawn till dusk, Ultralife Corporation, a leading battery manufacturer, says this Christmas could be the biggest test yet for the humble doorbell and the power source that keeps the chimes ringing.
International government and defense organisations have ever-changing portable power and charging requirements. New regulations by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) could cause charging issues for militaries once batteries reach their destination. Additionally, advances in military equipment bring the need for new battery solutions. Therefore, military battery manufacturer Ultralife Corporation has developed a new range of products that can help.
The Pentagon recently announced a new policy to dramatically increase the use of small, single-use drones, treating them as expendable assets, like ammunition. As the U.S. military looks to expand its drone capabilities, another important consideration is the batteries that will power these devices. Here, Ultralife Corporation explores how modern-day drone manufacturers now have more choice when selecting a power solution.
Reliable IT hardware is crucial in modern military and national security / intelligence operations. From a military perspective, IT hardware may be used in harsh battlefield environments or onboard Naval vessels. From a national security and intelligence perspective, agents may transport classified data on commercial aircraft. These types of environments are subject to shock, vibration, and water ingress. In these scenarios, ensuring the integrity of critical IT infrastructure is vital, and rugged cases can help protect servers, switches, and other devices. Case design is key and can influence field performance.
