Scalable, Fault Tolerant and Distributed – What Makes BaseN’s Unique DNA

Those are the original principles on which we’ve built BaseN. During the last 19 years, our self-sufficiency and independence from the global cloud and singular network providers, and third parties in general has sometimes been called into question as old-fashioned and heavy. “Develop fast, fail fast, don’t own any assets, concentrate on your core business!” […]

How Cloud Technology Enhances Rapid Virus Detection with Raman Spectroscopy

The COVID-19 virus is fairly difficult to detect and currently requires expensive laboratory devices, and especially time which we mostly don’t have in this unprecedented global health emergency. Viruses are small, and although coronaviruses are fairly large due to their complexity, there’s only a handful of methods for detecting them faster. One of them is […]

Drone Chronicles: The Story of Ohan4’s Spimeless First Flight

During the year-end holidays I completed the Ohan4, the fourth BaseN nDrone prototype. Unlike Ohan1-3, the Ohan4 was a miniature tricopter design, with a single, servo-tilting rear motor and 12 centimeter propellers. Nevertheless, it sported a powerful STM32F7 flight controller and a Raspberry Pi Zero W as the spime-enabling secondary computer. With the miniature design, […]

The site is one of their R&D hubs, with all their cargo-moving and lifting products being tested in a very real environment.  Most of their special cargo-moving vehicles are already fully digitalized and capable of […]

SES Framework Unleashed: The New Digital Sauna Experience

A few years back I decided to build a mobile sauna & pool with my brother. Although it may sound like a seriously non-digital asset, I ended up equipping it with a 4G connection, car-independent battery, 200W solar panel, led convenience lighting, temperature sensors, door locking indicators, GPS and a small internal display. Lights are […]

Technology Leaps at Home: From Alcatel to Broadcom

Last Friday I finally decided to replace my home access router, a Cisco 877W which had served me well for the last 12 years. Its venerable Alcatel ADSL chipset had, after a few thunderstorms, finally started to degrade to a point that the connection was breaking up a couple of times a day.  Like all […]

Plug-In, See Data: My Journey To Effortless EHealth Monitoring

I have been prescribed blood pressure medication for most of my adult life, starting in 1992 when I was in the military. My figures tended to hang around 150/90 (systole/diastole) which is considered to be risky what comes to cardiovascular health.  Blood pressure medications work in many different ways, and occasionally the body finds a […]
