Flying IoT just took off following major deal with DJI and Microsoft

This week, Microsoft turns its eyes skyward to push out IoT with drones, while device owners find out how much the Mirai botnet incident cost them. Earlier this week in the world of the internet of things (IoT), we saw how researchers found a way for connected devices to not talk over one another, with help from a species of cave-dwelling fish. Because the fish can't see in the darkness of a cave, they emit an electrical field to communicate with other fish, but this could potentially jam the signal. However, the fish are able to naturally change the frequency to avoid such interference. Similar to the fish, a new device can detect whether another signal could present a jamming problem and then intelligently shift its emitting signal higher or lower in frequency.
