Home communication facilities
Description
The KIVI Telecommunications Department invites you to the theme evening "Communication facilities for the home".
Both the connection of the home to the ever faster Internet and the number of devices that will start using the Internet in the home (the Internet of Things) require better communication facilities in the home itself. Three lectures will cover the developments of communication devices, protocols and standardisation underway in this field
