We live in a hyper-connected world. Our smartphones, home automation systems or IoT devices used by some utilities are connected to highly complex communications networks that need to be monitored from a radioelectric point of view. In this monitoring of radiofrequency signals there is an essential function to prevent incidents such as interference or a […]
Cash will be numbered. With the advent of COVID-19, the growth of digital payment transactions has accelerated, with a particular focus on contactless, online and instant payments. Accenture’s global study shows that contactless payments have grown by 150% since March 2019. Nearly 2.7 trillion transactions, worth $48 billion, are expected to shift from cash to […]
Quantum technology is one of the areas with the greatest potential for growth. Although its development and use is still in its incipient stage, the possibilities and solutions it will provide are still unimaginable. Andrea Rodríguez Blanco, head of quantum technologies at Gradiant, shares in this GRD Tech a very clarifying simile: just as […]

Valida allows an effective response in the fight against document and identity fraud. This solution is being used by companies from financial sector, banking, insurance and public organizations.
We are immersed in an environment in which we continually hear about Industry 4.0 and the application of technologies such as IoT or Artificial Intelligence to solve multiple problems and use cases that may arise in a manufacturing environment. Typical examples may be defect reduction and prescription of industrial process parameters, logistics optimization, or even […]
If we think about the information that large companies such as Facebook or Amazon handle daily, probably one concept will come to mind: Big Data. With the increase of computational power and the decrease of storage costs, and the recent developments in fields such as cloud computing or the Internet of Things, Big Data […]
The possibilities offered by 5G technologies are practically endless, but it is necessary to know from the inside all the advantages that these technologies provide to companies. The work we are developing within the framework of the Open-VERSO National Network of Excellence allows us to specialize in 5G enabling technologies.
The current industrial modernization requires a deployment of communication networks that allow the operation and monitorization of diverse processes, such as water distribution or electricity generation. This cluster of neworks belongs to what is commonly known as Operation Technology (OT), which is sensible to suffer from different kinds of cyberattacks that may cause security breaches, […]
Today we can find monuments, restaurants or shops in one click, but are these technologies safe for our privacy? In this post we will review Geo-indistinguishability, one of the anonymization techniques used to anonymize the geographic location of an individual.
Today, more than ever, the world depends on energy.
